At Jacada Travel, we are spearheading a new era of exploration, driven by a profound commitment to creating a positive impact on the world through transformative travel experiences. Our innovation lies in meticulously crafting luxury tailor-made journeys that go beyond conventional tourism, fostering genuine connections between travellers and the destinations they visit. Since our inception in 2008, founded by Alex Malcolm with a vision to unveil the authentic heart of a country, we have expanded our horizons from Brazil to encompass the globe. This expansion is built upon the principle of providing insider knowledge and specialised access, ensuring that each itinerary is unique and deeply personal. Our travel designers, many of whom have lived extensively in their regions of expertise, are pivotal to this, offering unparalleled insights and a human touch that elevates a trip from memorable to unforgettable.

Technological innovation plays a crucial role in our ability to deliver seamless and highly personalised experiences. We leverage advanced CRM systems, like Pipedrive, enhanced with custom automation to manage the intricate details of each journey, from initial contact to post-trip engagement. This allows our team to focus on the human element of travel design, ensuring every detail aligns with our clients' dreams and our commitment to responsible tourism. As part of the Wilderness Safaris family since 2020, our dedication to conservation and sustainable travel is further amplified. This synergy allows us to innovate in areas like positive impact travel, where journeys actively contribute to long-term goals such as ecosystem regeneration, addressing social issues, and protecting endangered species and habitats. We are constantly exploring new frontiers, both geographically and in our approach to sustainable practices, such as offsetting 100% of carbon emissions for every trip and pioneering initiatives to remove harmful practices like elephant riding from itineraries. Through these technological and ethical advancements, Jacada Travel is not just planning holidays; we are architecting journeys that enrich lives and preserve the planet for future generations.
