This adventure will have us on charter planes, scheduled flights, 4W drives, and Bactrian camels as we explore and discover authentic Mongolia. You'll be on the Gobi Desert and see the aptly-named Flaming Cliffs, along with stunning mountains. This unique experience will take us into an enormous country with extraordinary and diverse natural beauty. We'll meet and spend time with two nomad groups - Mongol and Kazakh and learn how they live. We'll have a chance to sleep in luxury "gers" (yurts) and explore their marketplaces.

Central Asia - Sep 11 -30, 2026

Central Asia. These words evoke the ultimate in remote, exotic, and unknown wonders.  Here you will find the ancient cities along the Silk Road still in all their splendor, reminiscent of the days of Marco Polo. We’ll meet descendants of ancient peoples and learn about centuries of fascinating history. The natural wonders abound: here you will find the Mountains of Heaven and the stunning mountain lakes called the Seven Pearls of Shing, and more extraordinary scenic beauty.


Just imagine exploring these exotic countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.  Each is different and fascinating in its own way. While most world travelers dream of visiting these countries, few have the chance to so. What’s more, those few that do rarely experience the coolest places in each.  That’s what we’re going to do on this exotic expedition.  Join us to experience this fascinating region.

Kenya Walking Safari with Richard - Oct 26 - Nov 6, 2026

There is no wilder intimacy than standing on African soil with nothing between you and its creatures but your own breath. So, take a walk on the wild side with me in the remote corners of Kenya.  A walking safari in Kenya—boots whispering through the savannah grass, sun not yet fully committed to the day—is the closest you can come to the continent’s original grammar.This safari includes incredible wildlife encounters, moderate walking with various tribes as guides, and deeper explorations of Nairobi National Park, the Mathews Range, Lake Turkana, Laikipia, and the legendary Masai Mara.  

Himalaya Helicopter - Oct 23 - 30, 2026

CLICK FOR HIMALAYA DETAILS & PHOTOS


You get to soar to the highest peaks in the Himalayas on this world-class expedition designed by Jack Wheeler, dubbed the "real life Indiana Jones" by the Wall Street Journal.  It is a thrilling, life-memorable experience. In only one week, our goal is to reach these 8 incredible mountains – Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri.  

Seeing and experiencing these mountains in this way is an ultimate Himalayan experience.   No trekking whatsoever.  Instead we're flying in the AS350 B3, the most advanced, high-altitude helicopters in the world.  The expedition group will be a maximum of 8 members. Each participant will have a private suite. Since 2016, Wheeler Expeditions has led this extraordinary and exclusive expedition, featured in the Robb Report.  It is arguably the greatest adventure that you can have in one-week on the planet today.
