LiNGER: Enriching Life through Travel
Inspiration
We design one-off experiences in beautiful locations creating lifelong memories. We listen to your needs and plan around your interests; no two LiNGER trips are ever the same. Whether you are a solo traveller on holiday, a family with children on sabbatical, friends seeking an epic break or a couple celebrating a milestone, we would be thrilled to plan your trip.
Destinations
Our experienced team has a genuine passion for travel and a wealth of first-hand knowledge of all our featured destinations. We’ll give you a candid opinion on all our destinations and only recommend places we know intimately. Browse the country galleries for inspiration of what may lie ahead.
Responsible Travel
At LiNGER, we advocate responsible travel as a force for good. While we fully acknowledge that badly managed tourism is detrimental to local communities and the environment, travelling in a responsible way can benefit communities and save habitats from destruction. We work with socially and environmentally conscious partners and providers to make a positive impact on each destination.
- We promote emerging countries and areas, to spread the tourism dollar more evenly across a country, and create and maintain employment locally
- Often the best time to travel is not peak season: we advocate off-peak travel where possible both for a more exclusive experience and to help spread local incomes across low months
- We promote destinations that have flourished through examples of local conservation success stories, for example Costa Rica’s protected national parks, and Sao Tome & Principe’s rainforests which were saved from becoming palm oil plantations
- We recommend independently-run, local services such as hotels, restaurants and crafts, and work with local guides and drivers
- LiNGER is a signatory to and member of several leading sustainable bodies, including Inspire Global, Future of Tourism and Better Business Act
- LiNGER travellers can give back through our partnership with Pack for a Purpose for most destinations. This award-winning charity recommends specific supplies to bring and delivers them to a community in need
- We offer the opportunity to devote time to voluntary activities, be it for a few hours or a few days. This may be advising micro-businesses in Nicaragua, teaching at a village school in Sri Lanka or researching plant species in the Amazon
All our trips encourage true immersion in the essence of a destination, creating an authentic cultural experience of benefit to all.
