Chilean Patagonia

Patagonia, though often very cold in temperature, is currently one of the hottest destinations in South America and just getting better from our experience.

Torres del Paine National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site in southern Chilean Patagonia. With spectacular natural landscapes of mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers, Patagonia is considered to have some of the best hiking in the world.

Torres del Paine offers wonderful trail systems, including the famous W-trek.  While here it is hard to pass up a visit to Glacier Grey which is the largest in the park.  This is the place to go for ice-hiking and kayaking up close to these massive ice formations to experience the majesty and intricacies of constantly shifting ice walls.

You might be lucky to get a glimpse of the elusive Puma and watch as the Andean Condor soars on the thermals.  With a wing span of over 3 metres they are huge and stunning birds.

And if you are looking for an epic journey of a lifetime, combining both Patagonia and Antarctica is really the ultimate experience.  These two continents are like nowhere else, and this epic journey will take you to some of the most remote and wild places on the planet.

You can read Rob’s great story on tracking pumas on foot, below. An incredible experience.

Epic Argentina 10 nights

This extraordinary adventure takes in Argentinian Patagonia in all its glory, but is bookended by nights in one of the great cities of South America, Buenos Aires. The finest foods and wines, as much physical involvement as you choose with treks and paddles. All round this is a superb itinerary.

Testimonial
what our clients say

From our travellers

Brad I just wanted to say thank you for your guidance, comedic timing, leadership and friendship for our climb. I was so impressed with your leadership and help in motivating all of our guys that entrusted you in your knowledge and patience. You really gave us the VIP experience. Listening to you encourage men with their focus and determination was inspiring to me. I’m not easily impressed but you managed to do it. Thank you again for this life changing experience.
Matt – Kili climb
Words cannot describe the gratitude Harry and I have for each of your roles in designing an experience which was truly priceless. We knew this would be a special time together from the outset. Anytime a parent can enjoy time one to one with a child in this sort of adventure was set up to start from a great place. I could produce a small novel of vignette remembrances which I could share with you, in complete gratitude. James, I would have never known that this was your first guiding experience. The ease with which you took us through your massive playground. I’ll leave you with my final impression: that of our collective laughs on the trails and of the fun of it all, so simply put, which will forever be such a mainstay of my memories of this incredible trip. (**Annie and Harry, mum and son, travelled to Uganda and Tanzania, guided by Rob's son James. His first guiding trip with guests.)

Booking through Epic Private Journeys took the stress out of organising an overseas trip to a country we weren’t familiar with, South Africa. We really appreciated the attention to detail and knowledge of the area shared with us. Sam and Lisa always made themselves available for any questions we had, including whilst on the trip which was great! The experiences we were exposed to were phenomenal, and the trip as a whole exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much.

Anita and the whole Epic team did an outstanding job organizing, planning and executing our trip to Kenya. Their attention to detail, from assisting us with choosing our outstanding accommodations, to having a pre-trip preparatory call with a staff member on the ground - to having several people immediately waiting for us at the airport and helping every step of the way, made our vacation the best ever! When there was a flood in Kenya just a couple months before our departure date and our accommodations were closed for the year, Anita was able to find us superb last minute accommodations, which ended up being the favorites of our trip. We loved every minute of our incredible trip and are so grateful for working with Anita and Epic.

My husband and I recently returned from a trip to East Africa, arranged for us by Sam and Epic Private Journeys. We had the most wonderful time! Their expertise in laying out our itinerary, and arrangements was impeccable! Thanks to their knowledge and experience, we were thrilled with each location that we visited, enabling us to enjoy the wildlife, as well as the culture of these beautiful countries. The guides, accommodations and travel arrangements were all fabulous. We enjoyed a mix of canvas tents and lodges, each with their own unique personality and natural beauty. This involved several moves throughout Kenya and Tanzania, and all of our travel connections went flawlessly! Their communication with us in preparation, for the trip was so helpful. From completing visa applications, to packing lists to recommending unique stops along the way, they were immensely patient and generous with their time, answering all of our questions, and making us feel completely prepared to go. And they continued to be in touch with us along the way, always available to provide guidance. We are so grateful to the team for this fabulous experience, and cannot wait to get our next African journey planned!

Re-entry has taken longer than expected, but I'm finally taking a breath to respond.  Might also be due to Pisco Sours twice daily during our entire trip! THE TRIP WAS FABULOUS!!! Everything we hoped for and more from an Epic trip.  A gift of memories beyond measure!! Hotels? We would return to all! I am clearly spoiled!   Thank you again for another successful adventure.  Cindy & Jack – Amazon & Machu Picchu

Our trip to Africa was a dream come true; everything we wished for was granted by the genies at Epic! From the onset they listened, responded, explained and supported. Advice and recommendations were spot on, there was no point in which we felt the experience wasn’t designed entirely around us. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Anna

Climbing Kilimanjaro with Epic was nothing short of a life-changing experience. Their commitment to excellence and a genuine passion for providing a transformative journey created moments our family will remember for the rest of our lives. From the early calls about training and health markers to the team helping us with the climb on the ground, Epic's meticulous planning, attention to detail, and unwavering support ensured that every step of the climb was not just a physical feat but a soul-stirring adventure. For us, the journey was not just about reaching the summit but about the transformative moments along the way—the camaraderie forged in the tents with the guides, porters, and cooks, the breathtaking landscapes that unfolded with each day, and the profound sense of accomplishment as the summit came into view. Every person on the expedition was willing to help and went above and beyond to create a memorable experience for all of us, and we genuinely felt they enjoyed our presence as well. Epic's commitment to sustainability and ethical tourism also allowed us to have peace of mind throughout the journey, knowing that we would leave as little of a footprint behind. Climbing Kilimanjaro was a project on our minds for a long time. Embarking on this adventure with Epic made it an even better experience than we thought possible. They truly gave our family an 'experience for the books,' and we look forward to creating more memories with them in the future.

Our Safari in Africa was a once in a lifetime experience for our family. Throughout the planning Bridgit and Rob carefully listened to and answered our questions and fully understood our expectations, needs and concerns as a family of 5 traveling in Africa. Anita’s attention to detail with the complicated logistics made the safari seamless from beginning to end. Kudos Anita! Trekking gorillas in Uganda was one of many highlights and truly an unforgettable experience. Our kids thanked us too many times to count for such an incredible trip. Thank you, Epic, for making this a magical family vacation where lifelong memories were created!!!
Shelly – Family of five
Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful, successful climb/week on Kilimanjaro. We cannot begin to express how impressed we were with the crew/guides/cooks/porters and level of service and care. We had no idea we’d be taken such good care of and all agree it ”made” the trip. All of my friends thanked me again and again for finding Epic for our climb. We always felt safe and cared for. The connections we all made on the trail/at camp with these amazing souls will stay in our hearts and memories forever. What a beautiful group of people.
Lynne – Mt Kilimanjaro
I just wanted to thank you so much for everything you did to help put together our incredible Africa adventure. It truly was a trip of a lifetime, and I know how hard you worked behind the scenes to make it all happen. I also know how much effort it took in the eleventh hour when our flight got cancelled to make sure we would still be able to make our dream trip a reality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We hope to embark on another adventure with Epic in the future, and in the meantime have been telling all of our friends to reach out to you to plan their next trip.
