Seven years ago, Explore More Travel Co. was built on one simple belief: travel should feel exciting, personal, seamless, and unforgettable. Today, we’re celebrating 7 years of turning dream trips into real memories, and we could not be more grateful.

Seven is often said to symbolize growth, wisdom, and good fortune, and after the last seven years, that feels especially fitting. What started as a passion for helping families see the world has grown into something so much bigger than we ever imagined.

From personalized journeys and luxury cruises to family adventures, milestone celebrations, and experiences you simply can’t DIY, we’ve had the privilege of helping clients create memories across the globe. From Caribbean beaches and European rivers to African safaris, Galápagos expeditions, ski towns, Christmas markets, honeymoons, anniversary escapes, and once-in-a-lifetime family vacations, every trip has meant something special to us.

We are especially thankful for the relationships built along the way:

✨ Our incredible clients who trust us with your most valuable asset, your time
✨ Families who let us help create core memories together
✨ Couples celebrating honeymoons, anniversaries, and milestone birthdays
✨ Friends who gather year after year for unforgettable group trips
✨ Business owners who trust us with incentive travel and retreats
✨ Our amazing global hotel, cruise, and in-destination partners who help make the magic happen
✨ Our local community that has supported us from day one

Every booking, referral, message, share, and kind word has meant the world to us.

We are proud of the trips planned, but even prouder of the moments behind them: first passports stamped, grandparents traveling with grandchildren, surprise upgrades, sunsets at sea, bucket-list safaris, laughter around dinner tables abroad, and the peace of mind our clients feel knowing someone is in their corner before and during every trip.

To everyone who has traveled with us, cheered us on, referred a friend, liked a post, or believed in us… thank you for an incredible 7 years.

The best part? We’re just getting started. ✈️🌍💙

It started as medicine. Tonic water contains quinine, which British colonials used to prevent malaria. They mixed it with gin to make it palatable… and a tradition was born.

Sitting in the dark bush, fire crackling, watching our bartender pour my first G&T of the trip… it felt like participating in something that has been part of safari for over a century. The ritual matters just as much as the drink itself.

There is something about sundowners in the wild that you simply cannot replicate anywhere else. Have you experienced a bush bar on safari, or is it on your list?

Our tracker Rio could spot movement from hundreds of meters away and know exactly what animal made it. Together with his brother Wise, our guide, they positioned us for sightings that felt like magic… but it was not magic. It was years of training. Wise even created his own tracking school to train the next generation. There is so much skill and pride behind what they do. And here is the truth… you simply cannot replicate this on your own.

Would you ever attempt a safari without a professional guide? 🔍🦒 Let us talk you out of it and create a custom safari for you!

What happens when you stand up in a safari vehicle near wildlife? Everything changes. Lions do not see you as a person when you are seated in the vehicle. They see the entire vehicle as one large, non-threatening object. As long as you stay seated and do not break that shape, you simply blend in. You are not prey, and you are not a threat. 🛡️✨

Stand up, and suddenly you become something recognizable. Something that breaks the outline. Our guide made this very clear... and then my kid tested it anyway. The speed at which I pulled him back down was impressive even by my own standards. These are the moments that make safari so humbling.

Do I recommend bringing your kids on safari? Absolutely! But I also recommend sitting close to make sure they follow the rules! Would you take your kids on safari?

What are the odds of finding the only mud hole left in a bone-dry reserve? 🤔

Apparently pretty high when you are tracking leopards in Manyeleti. 🐆 It had not rained in weeks. The entire reserve was dry… except for this one spot. 🌧️ And naturally, we found it.

Watching our guide and tracker handle it was incredible. No panic. No frustration. Just immediate action. 💪 They knew exactly what to do, working with another guide team to dig us out while we sat there wondering how this was even possible. 🙌

The best part? We laughed about it the entire time. 😄 Because this is safari. Things do not always go according to plan… and that is exactly what makes it an adventure.

Thirty minutes later, we were mobile again. This is what happens when you travel with guides who have mastered their craft. They turn obstacles into stories you will tell forever. 📖✨
