like never before.
Creating meaningful
encounters with Indigenous
cultures worldwide.

Across the globe, Indigenous Peoples
sustain living traditions that illuminate
some of humanity’s oldest ways of
being. Through language, ceremony,
artistry and storytelling, these cultures
steward many of the planet’s most
biodiverse environments, from Paci昀椀c
archipelagos to the Amazon, and the
savannahs and highlands of Africa.
For travelers who seek not just to see the
world but to understand it, Based On A True
Story – a discreet travel company renowned
for rare experiences – has spent over two
decades cultivating relationships, securing
permissions, and mastering logistics
to create meaningful encounters with
Indigenous cultures worldwide.
Often reaching into some of the world’s
wildest and most remote regions, these
journeys are meticulously planned to ensure
comfort, safety, and cultural sensitivity.
Private aviation compresses distance into
point-to-point 昀氀ights, with helicopter or
seaplane links where needed, so time is
spent where it matters – on the ground.
The purpose is depth: unforgettable
encounters where guests are welcomed into
festivals and rituals guided by elders, sharing
food, crafts, music, art, and oral history.
Families are embraced too, with children
discovering friendships that transcend
geography and culture.
Every detail is designed in collaboration with
community leaders, ensuring each meeting
unfolds on local terms. Many journeys also
support conservation, education, or cultural
initiatives, keeping travel bene昀椀ts within the
places that make these experiences possible.
