We have three kinds of expedition experiences, as well as events. And all of them are open to all, there are no special skills or fitness required to join and there are no age limits whatsoever.

First and foremost, there are our 2-week expeditions. These are true wildlife research and conservation expeditions, which take between 12 and 14 days, and offer you opportunities to explore fascinating parts of the world, have a lifetime adventure and get truly hands-on, working in wildlife conservation out in the field with local scientists and people. Then there are our 1-week projects, which are just the same as the 2-week expeditions, except for their shorter duration of 7 days.

We also offer taster days, which are for those who would like to dip into expedition life at home first, before committing to the real thing. Taster days will give you a unique insight into what it’s like to be in the field with Biosphere Expeditions assisting scientists with wildlife research and conservation. Always set amongst the stunning scenery and wildlife of National or State Parks in countries where we have offices, you will be part of a small team, alongside a nature guide and your expedition leader. You will discover expedition and wildlife research and conservation skills such as working with a map, GPS and compass, collecting important animal data, reading animal tracks and signs, using telemetry equipment and wildlife camera traps. You will also learn about the national park you are in, its fauna and flora, history and the conservation work going on inside.

Whilst on 2-week expeditions and 1-week projects English is our language of communication for the international team of scientists, helpers and team members, taster days are conducted in the language of the country they are held in, such as for example German in Germany or English in the UK.

Finally, we also hold a number of events, usually in countries where we have offices. These may be talks, slide shows, presentations, open days, get-togethers for former team members, etc. All are designed to make Biosphere Expeditions accessible to you locally and give you the chance to meet some of our staff and ask your questions in person.
