Lesley Rochat Travel was born from Lesley’s lifelong passion for nature, storytelling, and exploration, bringing together decades of experience in wildlife photography, conservation leadership, and global expedition travel.

Each journey is designed to inspire a deeper connection to the natural world, while offering guests a refined, immersive, and purpose-driven adventure through exclusive, small-group photographic safaris and expeditions, and curated journeys.

All of our experiences support our non-profit organisation, AfriOceans Conservation, founded in 2003 by Lesley, which is devoted to ocean protection and education. Many of our ocean-adventure-linked experiences are run from our beachfront centre, Shark Warrior Adventures.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Lesley Rochat Travel, we believe that travel can be transformative, both for the traveller and the planet. Every journey we offer is built around three guiding principles:

  • Excellence & Expertise – Led or curated by Lesley herself, each itinerary is shaped by years of field experience, artistic mastery, and deep environmental insight.
  • Purpose & Conservation – A portion of proceeds supports Lesley’s ongoing conservation initiatives and educational projects through AfriOceans.
  • Luxury with Meaning – We balance comfort and exclusivity with authenticity and integrity, ensuring that every trip enriches your life while treading lightly on the earth.

JOIN THE JOURNEY

Discover the wild through a new lens, one that celebrates beauty, purpose, and the power of storytelling. With Lesley Rochat Travel, every journey is more than a trip; it’s an opportunity to grow as a photographer, traveller, and guardian of the natural world.
