Heroes and Heroines The people who lead the way when it comes to those things which matter to us: exploration, the environment, women’s empowerment and education.
Travel. Made extraordinary
Welcome to luxury, tailor-made holidays and expert-led group tours.
Why Steppes Travel?
Your destination for all things travel
People and places. Cultures and curiosity. For over 30 years, we’ve been perfectly matching them through our rich knowledge, personal service and tribe of trusted partners.
Extraordinary destinations
New places. In new ways
We always strive to help you explore those little-known places in completely unique ways. Let us show you over 100 locations, including the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica and Japan, like never before.
Fundraising
The Heroes & Heroines Fund
Heroes and heroines truly live among us right now; they are the ones leaving children and partners at home to staff hospitals and maintain essential services. Donate to our hero and heroines fund to help give the holiday of a lifetime to someone that is putting their lives at risk for us. Nominate who you think deserves a holiday – to be taken when the time is right.
We recently took part in a 24-hour non-stop virtual cycling challenge to fundraise for our heroes, cycling over 580km and raising over £3,000. You can see our video here. Next up – our Around the World with Steppes Travel Quiz night.
