You may well know already that we're big fans of travelling sustainably, but far too often the whole 'sustainable travel' space focuses far too much on minimising harm and not enough on making real, tangible positive impacts.

That's why we're building more and more trips that give you the opportunity to do genuine good - giving back to communities, helping to protect wildlife and supporting conservation work. Travel that truly does make the world a better place!

Things like:
🐅 Supporting scientific research on India's wildlife and nature
🦏 Supporting the care of the world's last 2 remaining Northern White Rhino in Kenya
🇲🇿 Save pangolins in Africa's "last wilderness"
🇹🇿 Do a "conservation safari" in Tanzania - the perfect blend of conservation science, community impact and safari thrills!

So, next time you travel, join us in going Beyond Neutral 💚

We're super proud that our co-founder James is - after 6 months of training - a newly-graduated Sustainable Travel Ambassador! 🎉🌳

We care so deeply about travelling with care., and we know you do too. For the environment, for the wildlife and for the communities of people - all of which make this remarkable blue marble such a captivating place to explore.

There's still such a long way to go. But the more of us there are sharing evidence-based ways of travelling more thoughtfully, the broader the change we can make 💚

When should you book your Easter holiday?

Across the world, Easter is a wonderful time to travel. Spring is in full swing in the northern hemisphere, while the southern hasn’t yet descended into winter.

This makes it incredibly popular! We’ve had an influx of requests for Easter trips recently, and across the world availability is already tight, which causes prices to shoot up.

That’s why we recommend booking as soon as you’re able - if you’re booking 12 months in advance you’ll be getting the best of both price and choice. Your money will go further, and so will you!

Practice life can feel like it’s perfectly designed to stress us out. Spending a lot of time around suffering takes a huge, but mostly invisible, toll.

We’re constantly expected to do more with less. These days, consult times feel more like speed dating than medical information gathering.

While it’s not a panacea, there’s a substantial body of evidence that supports the positive impacts of adventure on both mind and body.

In our latest blog article, we break down the ways that adventure heals both mind and body together.

What, really, is "responsible travel"?

It's often conflated with sustainability, yet it's not quite the same. It's much broader than that. Travelling responsibly - in its full sense - offers the opportunity to make much broader and more beneficial impacts as you travel.

This is the topic of our latest blog. Find out how we define it, think about it and do it here: 🔗 https://www.vetsetters.com/what-actually-is-responsible-travel

Namibia is a place of enormous diversity: spectacular, wild landscapes and unique wildlife. Great hills of striking orange sand give way to Atlantic coastal vibes, which itself melds gently through earthy plains into a verdant Savannah...

A trip to Namibia really does feel like multiple mini-holidays in one go!

If you haven't seen it - James visited Namibia back in May. Click the link below to view the classic tour-of-Namibia itinerary that he did:

More and more of us are really looking to get lost - to visit places beyond the tourist trail that allow us to experience a new world.

Fortunately, there are still plenty of places that can offer an authentic glimpse into other ways of living. Here are some of our top picks for doing just that.

Travelling this way not only gives you an extraordinary experience that you can't find anywhere else; it also helps to prevent overtourism and support local communities who are desperate to welcome visitors!
