VentureCo - Adventure with Purpose
VentureCo is a pioneering new breed of travel company committed to arranging the best possible travel experiences, adventures and expeditions. VentureCo is ATOL bonded and an independent, owner-managed tour operator specialising in sub-Sahara Africa and South America.
For the first time independent traveller, our choice of Gap Year programmes is simply the best available. We take great care to introduce you to the language and local culture, before moving on to a project phase that reveals your host country in a way that few visitors have the opportunity to experience. And the grand finale is an expedition that explores the glorious landmarks, as well as the hidden gems. Our secret ingredient is the calibre of our leaders: their experience, adds to yours.
If mountains are your thing, then we have a range of treks that will whisk you away from your desktop and transport you to the summit (in your mind's eye at least!). Over the years we have walked with the best guides and some not so hot, which means we now know the individual mountain-men to recommend to you. Use our experience to get you out there, accompanied by a guide who will know the trail, the bush and the folklore, all of which will add fresh dimensions to your trek.
Your preferred style of travelling may be more vigorous and for the horseman, our range of riding expeditions is inspiring. We use the best horses available, the most appropriate accommodation and the best guides. The trails have all been individually researched and are challenging rides, but the rewards will be immense!
Other people, particularly after some time in the work-place, prefer to experience local life as it really is, well away from the tourism veneer; The Book Bus is one of a unique collection of projects that allows you to make an immediate and quantifiable contribution to underprivileged communities secure in the knowledge that your effort goes straight to the heart of the matter. Each VentureCo project is thoroughly researched, sustainable and above all, needed at grassroots level.
The common theme that runs through VentureCo is quality and attention to detail: whether it's one of our in-house programmes, or a luxury tailor-made itinerary, or a combination of the two, we provide the best resources that can be found in-country. We achieve this from nearly thirty years experience combined with our worldwide network of local contacts, which makes VentureCo unique.
VentureCo is passionate: we create imaginative, personalised travel experience, tailor-made for you.
