We believe in curated experiences that enrich, immerse and inspire photographers and travellers to connect to nature and wildlife.
Atlas 1 Expeditions is a travel company specialising in wildlife photography and conservation trips that transcend mass-tourism and focus on small-scale responsible journeys that leave a lasting impact on both travellers and the world they explore.
-
We are photographers and filmmakers with a burning curiosity about the natural world. We yearn to understand our environment through our lens and we believe in the transformative power of visual media to inspire conservation, cultivate empathy, and ignite a deeper connection between humanity and the planet we call home.
-
We meticulously choose our destinations, drawing from our firsthand experiences in the regions we operate to secure unique access. We seek out locations with the opportunity to dive below the surface of conservation, to disconnect from society’s distractions, and which guarantee unforgettable wildlife encounters.
-
You don’t need to be a professional photographer to join. Our approach is to curate expeditions that incorporate all levels of photography instruction for people with a genuine interest in wildlife, nature, and conservation. Our passion is storytelling, and we invite you to craft your own unique narrative of connection with nature alongside us.

“We founded Atlas 1 Expeditions to engage conscious travelers seeking a deeper connection with the places they visit, born from over 20 years of our combined global travel and unique access to the front lines of conservation. As creative professionals with backgrounds in media production, we aim to share our passion for storytelling through the rich, immersive experiences we've curated.”

What People Are Saying
"From the beginning, Emma and Donal set the tone for the trip. Their compassion for animals, their convictions toward animal conservation, their humor, their caring of the group members and love for each other.. I believe this affected our group interactions.
We shared stories around a bonfire, laughed with new friends, and helped each other. Of course, I learned so much from our accomplished photography hosts, but I also learned from group members."
