About Beyond the Wild
Two people who kept going back.
Beyond the Wild is Sam and Sarah. We are an adventure-driven agency, and we place people on conservation projects we volunteer on ourselves.
Our story
We are small, and we intend to stay small.
We started Beyond the Wild because the experiences we wanted did not exist as products — they existed as projects, run by people doing the work, usually with no marketing at all. So we go, we volunteer, and if the animals genuinely come first we offer it to other people. [FOUNDING DETAIL — year and first trip to be confirmed.]

Why book through us
Four things we can actually promise.
We volunteer regularly
Not a site visit years ago. We work the same rounds you will.
You speak to us, not a call centre
Every enquiry is read and answered by one of us.
Rescue-first projects only
If animals are bred, sold or traded, we do not work with the project.
We stay in contact while you are there
Before you fly, while you are on the project, and after you land home.

How we choose
Adventure, with something at the end of it.
We look for experiences that sit outside the usual itinerary — places you would not find on a booking site, run by people who are not selling anything. Conservation comes first; the adventure is what it feels like from the inside.
On the ground
Who you'll actually meet out there.
The project is owned and run by its own team — you will meet them, not us, at the gate. Their story sits on the project page.
