Your Adventure Begins 

EWT began in 1979 as an operator of worldwide natural history tours for zoos, museums, alumni associations and other not-for-profits. Today EWT specializes in photographic African safaris, and experiential private journeys to Asia. You can safari with a scheduled group tour, or as your own private group or family tour.​The EWT headquarters are in Galena, Illinois, near the Mississippi River.

What Makes Us Special

Explorer-Led Journeys

Join company founder Jim or another of our explorers on one of our annual small group journeys. 

Owner Designed Trips

We only operate a handful of trips per year, so you will work with the company owners from start to finish.

Benefit Of Experience

We've been designing bespoke worldwide adventures since 1979, so you're in the best possible hands.
