The Rupununi is the other Guyana — the vast savannah country in the deep south, where rainforest gives way to open grassland, ranches, wetlands, and Amerindian communities, and the horizon goes further than most visitors have ever seen it go. Over five days and four nights, this expedition explores the North, Central, and South Rupununi: a serious, rewarding journey through one of the least-visited corners of South America.
This is our tour for travellers who’ve done comfortable and want remote — rugged, off the beaten path, and unlike anything on the coast. It has drawn particular interest from adventure travellers from the United States and the United Kingdom, and from birders, for whom the savannah and its wetlands are extraordinary ground.
The Rupununi is far away, and getting there is part of the expedition — we want you to choose this trip with open eyes. Expect long road journeys with rest stops. The total driving time, vehicle and stop schedule will be confirmed with your proposed itinerary. The roads of the interior are long and unpaved; the days can be hot and dusty; and the reward is a part of the world very few people ever see. If that trade excites you rather than worries you, this is your trip.
Tell us who you are, when you’d like to travel, and what draws you to the interior. We’ll reply personally with the current state of the expedition — the working itinerary, what’s confirmed and what isn’t, and a custom quote for your group. No deposits, no pressure; just a straight conversation about whether this trip and your expectations fit.
A complete list of transport, accommodation, meals, guides, entry fees and activities will be provided with the custom itinerary. These details are still being finalised.
Exclusions and optional costs will be itemised in your custom quote. Do not assume that a meal, excursion or transfer is included until it is listed.

Everything else we offer starts and ends in a single day’s reach of Georgetown. The Rupununi doesn’t — and that’s exactly its magic. Out here the light stretches across open savannah at dawn and dusk, nights are genuinely dark, and the quiet is the kind most travellers have forgotten exists. It asks more of you than our river trips, and it gives back a version of Guyana almost nobody gets to see.
