The Green Lion offers an authentic, end-to-end travel experience that most providers can’t match. Unlike many tour operators that simply resell programs, we design and run every experience ourselves, drawing on over 25 years of on-the-ground expertise.

Our dedicated local teams handle everything — from designing programs to running daily activities — ensuring a seamless, high-quality journey with strong safety and support. Each trip is crafted to create real impact, working closely with local communities and governments to address genuine needs rather than chasing profit alone.

Whether you’re drawn to cultural immersion, volunteering, adventure travel or wellness, you can combine different styles to shape a trip that’s uniquely yours. Every experience is designed to be meaningful, safe and impactful — giving you the chance to discover the true nature of a place, connect with like-minded people and even learn more about yourself along the way.

As a fully integrated impact travel operator, The Green Lion guarantees both meaningful support for local communities and transformative experiences for you.

Impact is at the heart of everything we do.

Supporting local communities
We work hand-in-hand with local partners and leaders to create programs that address real community needs, with a strong focus on education and skill sharing. 

Protecting the environment and wildlife
Our conservation efforts focus on wildlife and environmental conservation, human/animal conflict, reforestation and waste reduction and clean up initiatives; helping preserve the natural beauty and biodiversity of each destination.

Empowering participants
Our programs are designed to be as transformative for travellers as they are for the communities. Participants leave with a deeper understanding of global challenges, new skills, and lifelong connections.

Giving back through the Wyld Orange Foundation
Through our foundation, The Wyld Orange, we directly fund and support projects like local education initiatives, animal welfare and infrastructure improvements.

At The Green Lion, your safety and well-being come first. With over 25 years of experience running programs around the world, we know how to create journeys that are enriching, structured and secure.

Our trained local teams are on the ground in every destination, ready to guide, support and look out for each participant at every step. From safe, comfortable accommodation to careful supervision and 24/7 on-the-ground assistance, we handle the details so you can focus on learning, growing and discovering.

We host many first time travellers,  which is why we build programs that feel both adventurous and supported — giving them the independence and confidence to explore, with the reassurance that help is always at hand.

When you choose The Green Lion, you’re choosing a program with a strong track record, clear safety protocols and a caring, experienced team — so you can feel confident you’re in good hands.
