For more than 20 years Secret Planet has created remarkable aventure and nature journeys throughout the world
-
Open-minded
It is in this opening dynamic that we draw our originality. We meet isolated and rare ethnic groups, attend their festivals and celebrations, visit the local markets. What we look for is familiarity, with others; because it is companionship that transforms our hiking into adventures. Togetherness is at the heart of all our programs, whether it be in ethnic groups, nature lovers, or authentic explorers.
-
Rare
We like to be among the first to rediscover an area, to relink ties with groups. We innovate relentlessly in our locations, in the themes that we address, in the courses we develop. Our participants can discover infrequently visited regions. In the most-known areas, we create exclusive and rare itineraries. Our groups are rarely composed of more than 6 participants.
-
Expert
We have a unique expertise of ethnic groups and populations throughout the world due to a long-built network. Our explorers in hostile environments are among the best in the world. Our NGO partners are very careful in the conservation of species and wildlife. Our expertise leads us to advice and assist (scientific, audiovisual production) organizations on the field.
-
Craftsman
Anchored in the Vieux Lyon or over 20 years, we chisel our programs like artisans or goldsmiths. We design our own trips, this way they are the bearers of your dreams’ spirit. As travellers, we discover a world in which we alternately feel like explorers and privileged witnesses. We are offering our creativity, our knowledge of the field, our experience, and our expertise to build and customize any adventure or nature journey in the world.
-
Commited
Our first responsibility is to ensure an equal partaking of the values shared with our local teams. These teams are more than correspondents for they are members of our global family. We regularly participate in community projects. SAÏGA without a doubt shows our commitment in terms of nature preservation and this ‘organic playground’ is fascinating in it’s diversity, it’s delicateness yet frightful due to its power.
