We’re experts in the Americas and Africa. Many companies may cover the world, but we focus solely on North, Central and South America and Africa. We just want to be the best wherever we go. We’ve searched for over 30 of the best itineraries to the best destinations in the America’s and Africa to create highly-interactive adventures which offer you unique local and cultural experiences led by fascinating guides.

23 years of experience speaks for itself. Since 1985, we've been sharing our love of adventure with our guests. Our longtime insider’s knowledge and extensive contacts in each destination allow us to offer cultural and artistic experiences and encounters that give our guests a much more in-depth feel for the local people and their way of life.

Smaller is indeed better. The owners whose names are on the door at Austin Lehman are intimately involved with our day-to-day operations. You’ll even get personal attention right from the owners – the way a small and caring company should act and feel. There are just 12 guests on our adult trips and 18 on our family adventures. This affords each traveler a much more intimate and authentic experience and our guest-to-guide ratio is never more than 6:1. You’ll enjoy swapping stories and laughter with our guides and they will too. We've also created special itineraries for our adventures which are more appropriate for families, solo adventurers and adults-only. Our Custom Trip Experts will happily help you plan every aspect of your trip with us.
