Board your fully carbon offset flight in South Africa and embark upon the journey of a lifetime, flying to the white desert of Antarctica, entering a barely touched, desolate world of 24-hour daylight and unparalleled scenery. Choose from Whichaway Camp or Echo Camp – two of the only luxury accommodation options on the continent – and check into one of the state-of-the-art sleeping domes or pods. These are the perfect spots from which to base your Antarctic expedition.
After a leisurely breakfast, don your warm gear and head to the plane for a short flight where you can expect to see thousands of emperor penguins and chicks. These loveable creatures are totally unfazed by human presence and will happily come within mere metres of your group, surrounding you in chatter, noise and general commotion. This breathtaking sight is one of the most spectacular yet unseen wildlife events on the planet – a truly unique experience.
Today you will venture out on a journey that very few have taken. Even now, reaching the southern-most point of the earth is no easy mission, and it is something that few have achieved. During your 7-hour flight from camp, you will stop for a refuel, giving you the opportunity to disembark on the polar plateau – it is only now you will begin to comprehend the vast scale of this immense wilderness. Another 2 hours on and it’s arrival time. Land at the lowest point on earth. Head to the marker and take a trip around the world in just a few paces! Secure your passport stamp and board your flight back to camp for an evening spent feasting on an exquisite six-course tasting menu, designed to take you on a sensory adventure.
