Today’s travelers are seeking depth over distance: journeys that foster connection, respect local cultures, and prioritize comfort without compromise. Across the world’s most inspiring destinations — from Africa’s wild landscapes to Asia’s ancient kingdoms — this shift has redefined how we explore together, blending discovery with purpose and access. Explore five trends shaping the future of group travel, and see how Bushtracks’ upcoming journeys are leading the way in this new era of immersive exploration.

In March 2027, Bushtracks invites a select group of travelers to join us on an exceptional new journey: Timeless Lands, a privately guided expedition across the Indian subcontinent led by renowned historian, award-winning naturalist, and filmmaker Toby Sinclair, alongside our Founder & CEO David Tett.

Most people think of “eco-travel” as simply choosing a lodge with solar panels or skipping plastic water bottles. But the science behind it runs deeper — into biology, climate systems, psychology, and even economics.

Travel has the power to transform landscapes — for better or for worse. In South Africa, where wildlife and communities live side by side, the stakes of tourism are especially high.

The climate is upside down. Pollution is stealing our air, our water, and even our emotional well-being. Some days, we’d be forgiven for thinking that we—humans—are the most toxic force we can apply to any pristine landscape. On those days, it feels easier to simply curl up under the duvet in collective embarrassment and disenchantment. 

Luxury travel has many interpretations. For some, it’s about the finest lodges or seamless private air travel. At Bushtracks, we believe true luxury lies in meaning — in traveling with purpose.

We’re excited to share that David Tett, CEO of Bushtracks Expeditions, is featured on the cover of Tycoon Magazine, with a spotlight feature on his leadership in luxury African safaris.

The term “regenerative tourism” has gained momentum in today’s travel trends, moving beyond the concept of sustainable travel to something even more profound. A recent Vogue article, written by Tanya Carr-Hartley, explores this evolved term, highlighting how safaris can be a force for good—for travelers, local communities, and the landscapes guests visit.
