our story

EXPLORE THE THOMSON WAY with local experts, socially responsible practices and engaging, off-the-beaten path adventures.

Since 1981, Wineland-Thomson Adventures has been setting the standard in sustainable international tourism. Our founders Judi Wineland and Rick Thomson founded the business on three cornerstones: supporting responsible on-the-ground operations, hiring people who know their destination best and choosing services that empower local economies.

Thomson Safaris, our flagship operation, continues to deliver Tanzania’s most personalized safari and Kilimanjaro trekking experiences. Thomson Family Adventures provides family travelers with memorable, off-the-beaten path experiences on all seven continents. Thomson Collection offers customizable travel experiences with quality, integrity and the highest standards of service.

Our award-winning adventures have made us the preferred travel operator for some of the world’s most respected schools, museums and conservation organizations. Still, our greatest praise comes from our guests, who call their trips life changing.
