Our Pledge to Sustainability
Röam offers the chance to explore places far beyond the limits of normal travel maps—journeys into the heart of some of the world’s most remote and untouched ecosystems. While these places inspire wonder and fascination for us, they also form the foundations of fragile ecosystems, ancient cultures and livelihood systems on which local communities depend. Many of our destinations exist in peripheral or sensitive contexts—areas that have been cut off from visitors due to complex historical or geopolitical factors. This isolation often means that the ecosystems and traditional ways of life found here are not only delicate, but especially vulnerable to change.
To us, positive-impact travel means crafting experiences that protect the natural environments that we visit, generate meaningful benefits for local communities, and support sustainable, long-term visitation. These goals are at the heart of everything we do—from the destinations we select to the partnerships we build, and the way each journey is designed and delivered on the ground.
Röam’s model is rooted in embodying, in every trip that we run, practices that are sensitive and responsive to the local context. We work closely with our local guides and partners to share knowledge and foster approaches that support sustainability, and we look for meaningful ways to spark collaboration and respond to local needs—especially as visitation increases in the places we explore.
Low volume, immersive itineraries
We prioritize low volume travel and focus on designing customized expeditions for small private groups. Our itineraries are designed to be immersive, and our trips always prioritize local and traditional knowledge. We do this primarily by working closely with local guides or communities who can connect our clients intimately to the history, culture, and ecology of each destination.
Ecological sustainability
On the ground we aim to leave nothing behind and use only what we need in the most sustainable way. While each destination is different, all our trips are planned with absolute attention to the conscious use of local and natural resources, waste management, avoidance of single use plastics and the use of eco-friendly products and materials.
Carbon Offsets
We work with Koobi Carbon to determine the footprint of our trips and offer clients options for offsetting the carbon created through travel. Koobi’s offsets support projects in global priority areas for biodiversity and wildlife conservation. As part of this commitment, we offer a carbon pledge as part of our itineraries, giving clients the chance to choose which projects in Koobi’s portfolio their credits support.
Social responsibility
We take great care to understand the full impact of our journeys on local communities—both the benefits and the potential challenges. Above all, we aim to ensure that local people experience direct and lasting value from visitation, whether through the employment of local guides or by identifying key ecological or community needs that Röam and our travelers can support through long-term, thoughtful engagement and collaboration in each destination.

Tadrart Rouge, Algeria
In the expert care of our Tuareg guides, you will discover a landscape that is both harsh and formidable, yet at the same time primordial, strangely familiar, and totally intoxicating. Stepping into this region is like passing through a doorway into another world- one governed by the elements and oblivious to time.
Socotra Archipelago, Yemen
Röam offers carefully curated experiences that take you deep into the wild heart of Socotra. Join us to discover this extraordinary archipelago and landscapes so strange and beautiful they feel closer to a dream than a destination.
Eritrea, Red Sea Coast
Eritrea feels like a hidden world, a place behind a secret door. From the outside, it’s almost invisible, but stepping inside reveals a mosaic of histories, cultures and landscapes that exist beyond the rush of the modern world.
Iona Biosphere, Angola
Iona National Park and its surrounding landscapes are a testament to the region’s ecological and cultural richness. Shaped by desert winds and Atlantic fog, its onshore and offshore ecosystems host exceptional levels of endemism, with reptile, plant, and bird species found nowhere else on Earth.
