“A dream to set foot on every continent was fulfilled with an expedition organized by White Desert. Additional feats followed with little effort thanks to White Desert's willingness to customize its expeditions to accomplish your desires.
I was able to fly my hot-air balloon over Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica and this flight marked the 1st solo free flight of a balloon in Antarctica. All this was done amidst an atmosphere of complete luxury and expertise provided by premiere Antarctica guides.”
Eric Burhans, USA
This is as close to 'Out of this World' as you can get - Seeing is believing and you leave humbled and with a great respect for the White Desert - and the White Desert team.
Richard and Suzanne Mason, UK
“The highlight was our visit to the mountains, and the breath taking beauty, pristine nature and immense scale of this forbidding but wonderful place. The daily activities at camp were well organized, energetic and challenging.”
Ken Vere Nicoll, UK
“The whole experience was quite incredible. The weather was stunning and the trip to the mountains stunning. I heartily recommend this to anyone looking for a unique travel experience in, what can only be described as, a breath taking environment.“
Rick Garratt, UK
“Every minute of our trip was an adventure and I will never forget it. Thanks for the trip of a life time.”
Gail Bongiovanni, USA
“I loved the experience from start to finish. The guides were excellent and made me feel I could do anything I wanted too. White Desert camp was just perfect, relaxed, homely and cosy. I think about Antarctica every day and find it so hard to explain to my friends and family what it is like out there. For me, Antarctica was the most amazing and beautiful experience and I can't imagine any place or thing will ever match it.”
Denise Eva, Ireland
White Desert runs a highly professional set up, making everyone extremely welcome and always going the extra mile to accommodate your wishes. I certainly recommend the journey to all who have an interest in adventure, five star style!
Dave Pearce, UK
“We had a wonderful experience and I want to thank you for living out your dream which created a great adventure for Gail & I and all of the others who have been guest at your camp. For your passion, we will be forever grateful!”
Everett Nissly, USA
For sheer opulence and luxury in one of the most hostile and awe-inspiring environments, there is no other company that I would travel with. White Desert have brought the sophisticated demands of five star living to the most remote place on earth with an extraordinary attention to detail.
Gilo Cardozo, UK
“One of the greatest adventure holidays of my life! Two weeks of kiting, skiing, rock-climbing and glacier-walking. Cherry Apsley-Garrard was right when he called it ‘the most beautiful continent in the world’!”
Nigel Johnson-Hill, UK
“I would like to thank you for arranging the incredible trip down to Antarctica. It exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The landscape is simply awesome and quite breathtaking. It is certainly the last of the great Wilderness areas and something I have always wanted to do.”
Frank Raimondo, South Africa
You haven't experienced life completely until you have listened to the silence of the vast white desert at the foot of the Ulvetanna Mountains.
Ms Kirsten Jensen, South Africa
“When I look at the photographs taken on that sparkling day, I do it in silence and solitude. It does not take me long to be back into that out-of-body sense that I experienced in Antarctica. There is nothing like it in the whole circumference of earth.”
Naas Husemeyer. Holland
"The whole trip consisted of a series of adventures, amazing hikes, divine drink from the snow bar, delicious food and the warm hospitality I received from everyone involved. I am already looking forward to my next trip."
Lynn Angel, South Africa
"White Desert is creating a permanent memory of somewhere that is totally alien to 99.9% of the human population. Trust me, you wont forget that place. Ever."
James McRoberts, Canada
"This is a must. It certainly was a life highlight and an experience I think about in some form almost daily. I would do it again like a shot. While the environment will be a statement in itself (and blow you away) the people involved bring it all together and make it just so enjoyable.Many thanks to Patrick and the team."
Bruce Mellor, New Zealand
'This was probably one of the most exciting and invigorating experiences of my life – in the run up to our trip I almost felt as if I was on my way up to space. This is one to add to your “bucket list” of things to do before you die – its ne I’d like to return to.'
Paul Gardiner, South Africa
Yes, I have now got the polar "bug"! It is no exaggeration to say that the whole experience has changed my life and the field guides' expertise, knowledge, patience and good humour were just part of what made the whole journey so memorable. Highlights are too numerous to recount, but shall anyone ever seek affirmation on whether they should undertake this adventure, simply have them call me.
Farzin Pourmokhtar, USA
"This trip and event changed my life and I couldn’t have done it without the White Desert team getting me there, looking after me and giving ongoing support and enthusiasm. I loved it and I will do it again and again if I can!"
Ram Barkai, South Africa
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. More than any other holiday I have ever been on before. Every second of the trip has been imprinted on my memory! Every day was completely different and held surprises that I could have only dreamed of.
Cathy MacKenzie, South Africa
"White Desert provided me a unique opportunity to witness the remote, captivating, almost alien beauty that is Antarctica in a classic and stylish fashion. I'm planning to go back again next year"
Jonathan Carter-Meggs, UK
Antarctica – there is so little there, but so much to experience! It is a place where you can find your own true voice, away from the distractions of the outside world. It is where you find the true meaning of travelling.
Alan Chen, Taiwan
