Dedicated to conserving and protecting Mongolia’s wildlife.
Our Mongolia Nature and Wildlife Tours focus on the efforts of small, grassroots NGOs dedicated to conserving and protecting Mongolia’s wildlife, while also promoting environmental and ecological education. These tours are either led by expert guides associated with these NGOs or directly support their work. Our approach goes beyond simply paying entrance fees for national parks or protected areas; we ensure that your participation directly contributes to the preservation of Mongolia’s natural habitats and wildlife.
Mongolians traditionally categorize their vast country into three main landscapes: Gobi (desert), Tal (steppe), and Khangai (mountain). However, the nation’s botanical diversity extends beyond these classifications, intricately shaped by its geography. For more information, check our blog post below.
Every sector of the tourism industry impacts nature, whether through light or noise pollution, solid waste disposal, food consumption, infrastructure development, or plastic use. Nature conservation cannot be confined to wildlife or ecotourism trips; it must be a priority for every tourism business in every sector. As our industry depends on travel, we have a responsibility to protect and care for the world we explore and inhabit. By traveling better—supporting conservation efforts and reducing carbon emissions—we in the tourism industry can all contribute positively to the environment. This commitment forms the foundation of our Nature Positive Travel policy.
Situated at the intersection of the Central Asian steppe, the Siberian tundra, and the Gobi Desert, Mongolia boasts a rich and globally significant biodiversity. However, our tours are not about rushing through a checklist of Mongolia’s must-see wildlife in over-exploited areas. Instead, they offer slow-paced, respectful journeys through the landscapes, guided by local conservation experts. These tours embody genuine sustainable practices and conservation efforts, ensuring a positive impact on the environment and wildlife.
Although we only highlight a few experiences below, we can arrange activities with a variety of local wildlife conservation organizations throughout the country. Our trips prioritize supporting the organizations we partner with as part of our Mongolia Nature and Wildlife Tours, rather than maximizing revenue.
