Ecowildlife Travel S.L.

What Ecowildlife Travel S.L. does

Ecowildlife Travel S.L. is a privately held, Barcelona-based nature and wildlife travel operator founded in 2004, registered as a Spanish limitada (S.L.) under CIF B-65512147. The company organizes and sells guided group expedition packages to nature destinations across 50+ countries spanning Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, including safaris (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda), wildlife photography treks (India tigers, Himalayas snow leopards), aurora viewing trips (Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden), and cultural-nature hybrids (Nepal/Tibet, Sri Lanka). Trips are accompanied by specialist naturalist guides and priced on a per-person basis ranging from approximately €1,240 to €4,190 depending on duration, destination, group size, and inclusions.

The company's product surface is built around a direct-to-consumer model: a website (ecowildlife.es) with online booking, a calendar of accompanied departures, downloadable PDF catalogs, and destination galleries; supplemented by phone (934 856 691) and email sales, two Blogspot blogs (wildlife and birdwatching), and active social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter). Ancillary revenue streams include the Club Ecowildlife annual membership (recurring subscription with minimum 2% booking discounts, exclusive trips, and conservation participation), published catalogs and the Ecowildlife Traveler magazine series, specialty books such as 'Senderos del Tigre', and a freemium carbon footprint calculator. Ecowildlife aligns itself with the Quebec Declaration (2002) on ecotourism ethics and partners with conservation campaigns including PRO AVES, TOFT TIGER, GOLFINA, and Keep the Whales, as well as the wildlife research center Signatus for specialized expeditions.

Operationally, Ecowildlife runs with a very lean team of 7 employees out of Premià de Dalt, Barcelona, acting as a curator and reseller of guided expeditions rather than building proprietary technology or inventory. No proprietary technology stack, AI/ML capability, mobile app, API, patents, or certifications are disclosed. The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped with no external funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or institutional investment evidenced in the source data.
