Dedicated to conserving and protecting Mongolia’s wildlife.
Our nature and wildlife tours work a little differently.
They are built in direct partnership with the small conservation organisations protecting the species you’ve come to observe. This means your tour funds go directly to the people safeguarding these landscapes — and that time is spent alongside rangers, conservationists and community members who live and work here year-round.
Our role is to support the experience. One of our driver and trip-assistant teams is on hand to help with logistics, translation and meals. Accommodation is simple and usually located within or close to the protected area — often in facilities provided by the rangers themselves.
Mongolians traditionally categorize their vast country into three main landscapes: Gobi (desert), Tal (steppe), and Khangai (mountain). However, the nation’s botanical diversity extends beyond these classifications, intricately shaped by its geography. For more information, check our blog post below.
Mongolia has 70 Important Bird Areas (designated by BirdLife International) throughout the country. There are about 460 species of birds in Mongolia, both migratory and resident. Use our blog post (below) for more information.
Every sector of the tourism industry impacts nature, whether through group size, light or noise pollution, solid waste disposal, food consumption, infrastructure development, or plastic use. Nature conservation cannot be confined to wildlife or ecotourism trips; it must be a priority for every tourism business in every sector. As our industry depends on travel, we have a responsibility to protect and care for the world we explore and inhabit. By traveling better—supporting conservation efforts and reducing carbon emissions—we in the tourism industry can all contribute positively to the environment. This commitment forms the foundation of our Nature Positive Travel policy.
Situated at the intersection of the Central Asian steppe, the Siberian tundra, and the Gobi Desert, Mongolia boasts a rich and globally significant biodiversity. However, our tours are not about rushing through a checklist of Mongolia’s must-see wildlife in over-exploited areas. Instead, they offer slow-paced, respectful journeys through the landscapes, guided by local conservation experts. These tours embody genuine sustainable practices and conservation efforts, ensuring a positive impact on the environment and wildlife.
Although we only highlight a few experiences on this page, we can arrange activities with a variety of local wildlife conservation organizations throughout the country. Our trips prioritize supporting the organizations we partner with as part of our Mongolia Nature and Wildlife Tours, rather than maximizing revenue.
