Welcome to Niarra Travel
Where your journey is understood
Founded in 2020 by Nicky and Jonathan Oppenheimer as part of the Oppenheimer Generations community, Niarra Travel bridges a crucial gap in the travel industry for a tailormade service that meets the needs of travellers much like themselves. Guided by the Oppenheimers’ unique understanding and insights into the requirements of discerning individuals, Niarra Travel delivers bespoke and enriching experiences with a bold approach that prioritises integrity and purpose. Equipped with an extensive network of insider contacts and deep destination knowledge, the innovative team prides themselves on creating imaginative trips, anticipating your every need and getting right to the heart of what matters most to you.
"Niarra's expert team has years of experience working with numerous partners from around the world. Their bold approach of taking less and leaving more behind in the destinations for the benefit of communities and conservation, is shaking up the traditional tour operator business model, sending a ripple of change throughout the industry."
Tailored experiences, timeless memories
We are constantly curating the very best experiences and properties from around the world, so no matter the occasion: a landmark celebration or a spontaneous getaway, our experienced team will ensure your trip is crafted to perfection.
From remote lodges in some of the most untouched parts of Africa, to tracking snow leopards in India or laid-back yachting in Indonesia, we leverage long-standing relationships with our partners across the world to bring you stand-out experiences you won’t find anywhere else, all with meticulous attention to detail and infused with a good dose of Niarra magic.
Positive impact
At the core of Niarra is a conviction that travel can be deeply rewarding for everyone it touches, leaving more behind for the protection of the world’s wild spaces and the communities that live in and alongside them.
This led to the reimagining of the traditional tour operator business model with a transparent approach that channels a meaningful percentage of proceeds to the places that need it most, reinvesting in communities and the world’s most precious and fragile places.
Four years into our journey, we are excited to see tangible results, from successful wildlife conservation initiatives to empowering community projects, amongst numerous others.
