Travel for the curious, the fearless, and the loving

A new way to travel

Between Deserts Travel is founded on a unique philosophy of travel as an endeavour of curiosity and empathy.

We travel because we genuinely want to learn about the world and connect with other humans.

We travel because humanity is our community, because learning from the diversity of our community makes us all better, more loving, and more resilient people.

Every place is a goldmine. You pick up a thread – a word, a meeting, a friend of a friend of someone you have just met – and soon the most insipid, most insignificant place becomes a mirror of the  world, a window on life, a theatre of humanity.

— Tiziano Terzani ~ A Fortune-Teller Told Me: Earthbound Travels in the Far East.

More than just a holiday

Learning, Context, and Culture

Our programs include high-quality resources and expert sessions for in-depth learning about the places you will visit and people you will meet.

Feet and Shoes

We won’t give you cliches about empathy, we will give you the opportunity to really live other people’s perspectives.

Discomfort is OK

We believe real understanding, growth, and change come from turning towards that which may make us uncomfortable.

Our programs include facilitated self-development protocols to make our travel truly life-changing.

Custom Tours

Every tour that we run is a unique experience, no two will ever be identical.
We also offer tours with fully customisable themes and durations for private groups.
