Big travel agencies and credit card companies will leave you on hold for hours just to book a flight. With Fauna, you have a direct line to your personal travel advisor, Scott Dubois. Fauna is backed by Fora, so you get the service and creativity of a boutique agency with the resources of a large organization. We are focused on building long-term relationships over sales, so we can better connect you with the natural world.

“Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.”
– Hannah Arendt, political theorist, philosopher

Thoughtful & Creative Itineraries

We use local experts combined with storytelling and design fundamentals to properly pace and enrich your travels. Our goal is to help you experience a sense of awe as often as possible.

And because we are independent of any hotel or lodge brand, we can design a custom itinerary that blends the best hotels at the appropriate pace. We want to match your specific needs and personality for the most memorable travel experience.

Sample Itinerary:

Trekking the Great Rift Valley to the Serengeti

This itinerary connects the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti regions with ancient Maasai cattle trails so that you can spend an epic week trekking from one safari to the other. Read more…

Pricing & Perks

Our partner programs through Fora and Virtuoso will get you the best rates and benefits at no additional cost. Common benefits include guaranteed room upgrades, free meals, and spa credits. We have preferred status and privileges with several top brands.

Because of preferred pricing arrangements, you will pay the same retail value you see advertised online for safaris.

Importantly, because of preferred pricing arrangements, you will pay the same retail value you see advertised online for all safaris and most travel around the world. Exceptions to this are high traffic destinations like Japan or Europe in summer, where we have concierge teams to help coordinate your trip for a small fee.

A Commitment to Sustainability & Conservation

We donate 5% of our profits to wildlife conservation organizations to care for the places that have brought us joy in our travels.

Luxury without sustainability is not true luxury because it merely pushes the burden down the line. You can relax on your trip knowing that we only partner with forward-thinking travel providers. Admittedly this is the hardest part of our philosophy. Few industries are truly sustainable right now, but the travel is changing. To compensate for this uncertainty we donate 5% of our profits to wildlife conservation organizations to care for the places that have brought us joy in our travels.
