Have you dreamt of encountering Africa at its most exciting  - the classic safari? Open savannah, lions hunting, maasai warriors and an animal density that is 10 to 20 times greater than anywhere else on the continent. Join Basecamp with the best all-inclusive offer ever !

On arrival at Basecamp Trappers Lodge in Longyearbyen, you will check into your private room, modelled on a traditional trapper’s cabin. With driftwood timber, Russian wetwood and hand-made furniture, the authentic atmosphere provides an opportunity to relieve stress, forget the modern world and concentrate on your emotions within.

Trees. Thousands of trees! Planted by Basecamp. Cleaning the air. Sucking up CO₂ from your air-travel to Svalbard, France, Kenya or India.

 

Some trips turn into legends. They have an impact - on you as a person, on those you meet and on the places you visit. Journeys with meaning.  In Basecamp we have a saying: "Change your travel habits not the climate." The experience you have dog mushing in the Arctic, on a walking safari in Kenya or planting trees in Masai Mara is but one aspect of it. More important is what you learned and what you left behind - a tree planted, a local child educated, an AIDS-awareness projects supported, a cheetah cub saved -  and in addition knowing that your CO2 emisions are taken care of  - by Basecamp.  Journeys not easily forgotten.

Can Rigall can in the summer be rented in its entirety. 12 rooms - with 26 beds. There is a large living room with an open fireplace and a fantastic view against Pic de Canigou. 

This winter expedition goes through some of the most spectacular landscapes on Spitsbergen - 'Trollheimen' (the Land of the Trolls). Dark, sharp mountain peaks rise up through white glaciers, and down below is the wild Barents Sea. So get your gear, prepare your skis, remember that sunscreen, and join us for an expedition of a lifetime!

Time magazine features an article about the Koiyaki Guide School, which is run by  Basecamp in partnership with the local community, in its online travel advisory, in May 2009, under the heading "Kenya's Blackboard Jungle".

He has a spear in his hand, a club in his belt, and a big smile on his face when we see him from the window of our plane, as it grinds to a halt on the dusty air-strip right in the Masai Mara. His name is Benjamin, and he’s to be our guide.
