Our Core Values
Unmatched Expertise
Our founder, Caine, and our entire team have dedicated their lives to the wilderness. Every trip leader and local guide is the "real deal"—experts in marine science, photography, or high-level guiding. This collective, lifelong experience is truly second to none.
The Best Encounters, Safely Delivered
Our unmatched field knowledge ensures you have the best eyes and senses actively seeking respectful, long-lasting wildlife encounters. A lifetime in the field means a lifetime of rigorous safety training. We pride ourselves on giving you the opportunity to be among these animals, safely and respectfully, every time.
Our Philosophy: Authentic Connection
Our mission is rooted in something deeper than social media: we create authentic, animal-focused experiences that connect you to the wild in a profound way.
We embrace the wild's uncertainty. Encounters are never guaranteed, and that exhilaration is what makes the moment real and unforgettable. We focus on the journey, the effort, and the profound moments that stay with you long after the trip ends..
The Art of Storytelling
We hope your time with us feels like the beginning of a lifetime of sharing. Let’s return to the art of storytelling and sharing moments that become bookmarks in your life, inspiring the world to celebrate and protect its wildlife.
Our Commitment: Real Impact
We recognize the responsibility that comes with wildlife travel. We work to minimize our impact, collaborate with local communities, and actively support conservation. This includes contributing data to research, participating in citizen science, and advocating for sustainable practices in the regions we explore.
The Just the Wild Foundation
Furthermore, we invest directly in our research arm, the Just the Wild Foundation. Through the Foundation, we build research capacity in the regions we operate, forge partnerships with other organizations, and spearhead novel projects to build understanding and knowledge of the animals we encounter.
