Untamed Borders offers bespoke trips and small group tours to some of the world’s most interesting and inaccessible places.
Untamed Borders was formed in 2008 by professional fixers, supporting journalists wanting to reach hard to access areas in order to provide cutting-edge stories. Today, we still serve media professionals as well as helping adventurous travellers to experience unusual and largely unvisited areas of the world.
We offer an array of fixed date group trips across a number of activities and destinations. Whether it’s cultural, skiing, trekking or marathons, we’re sure you’ll find the right adventure for you.
From the first ever kayaking trip to Afghanistan to scuba diving in Libya and a long weekend in Mogadishu, no request is too large or small. Check out some of the customised trips we have crafted for our guests.
We work with a range of media professionals from photographers to journalists to documentary filmmakers. We have taken ex-US military skiing in Iraq through to filming the Siberian wildlife.
We are proud to be involved in numerous projects within the communities we visit, from organising the Marathon of Afghanistan to sponsoring the training of female mountain guides in Tajikistan.
