Custom Expeditions
Wherever, Whenever
A custom expedition is a solid option for when you already have a bigger group or when you require a specific itinerary. There is complete flexibility in dates, duration and target species and the Unbound team will put its contacts and expertise to work to create a tailor-made expedition that ticks all the boxes.
A good option for private groups, whether the goal is fun, research, production or something else, we can provide it.
Limited spaces available
To ensure a high-quality, personalized experience, our herping trips are limited to small groups of 8–10 participants. This allows for better wildlife viewing opportunities, more direct interaction with guides, and a lower impact on the environment.
