THE EPIC DIFFERENCE
Simply epic!
For the past decade, Epic has tailored private journeys to some of the world’s most extraordinary places.
We live and breathe the travel experience and are passionate about creating unique and authentic trips for independent travellers. From the wilds and rich landscapes of Africa, North and South America, Antarctica and Australia, to the cultural heart of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Your trip is designed by our passionate and experienced professional guides. Having “lived” the product, we have a profound understanding of what makes the ultimate trip. We want you to feel the same passion, awe and respect for the places we love. This intimate and direct experience is fundamental to our ongoing success.
With Epic, you can see the world the way you want to see it, whether it’s an independent or privately guided journey. We customise every itinerary based around your interests and expectations. In our view, there’s no such thing as a “standard” safari or holiday. It has to be special and unique.
Experience our amazing once in a lifetime journeys…and let the destination touch your soul.

Born in South Africa, Debbi’s love of travel came from her grandparents, who owned hotels and travelled Africa and the world, extensively. Debbi went on to study nursing, but the travel bug bit and she took ‘a break’ to work with several key African safari operators.
Bridgit Fried had a successful career in public relations and marketing before taking time off to raise her four children. Bridgit recently combined her passion for travel and adventure with her sales and marketing skills and joined the Epic team, based in the United States.
We provide an incomparable level of service, both before and during your time with us. We want you to see Epic as your personal travel concierge. Our service providers are often small boutique organisations, much like us. Over time, through our mutual objectives and shared philosophy, we’ve found each other in the crowd – like-minded people, who understand what going the extra mile really means.
