Why travel with us
Because travel should feel meaningful - not rushed, not transactional, and never generic.
Why The Green Lion?
At The Green Lion, we create journeys that connect young people to the world in a real and lasting way. We don’t just organise trips; we design experiences that encourage curiosity, growth, and positive impact - for both travellers and the communities they visit.
We simplify global student travel so you can focus on growth and relationships. Through one trusted partner, you access custom made programs across 45 destinations, designed for experiential learning, travel with purpose and genuine impact.
Unlike providers who resell off-the-shelf itineraries, we design, operate and deliver every experience ourselves. Backed by more than 25 years of on-the-ground expertise, our integrated approach ensures consistency, quality and care from planning through to delivery.
Experiences With Purpose and Impact
As a fully integrated impact travel operator, we work closely with local communities and governments to address genuine needs and create meaningful outcomes. Each program is carefully designed to deliver experiential learning, cultural connection and positive local impact, not profit-first tourism.
Whether your clients are seeking cultural immersion, volunteering, adventure travel, or wellness, program styles can be combined into bespoke journeys that are meaningful, safe and enriching.

Our Impact
Impact is at the heart of everything we do.
Supporting local communities
We work hand-in-hand with local partners and leaders to create programs that address real community needs, with a strong focus on education and skill sharing.
Protecting the environment
Our conservation efforts focus on wildlife and environmental conservation, human/animal conflict, reforestation and waste reduction and clean up initiatives; helping preserve the natural beauty we're so lucky to share with local communities.
Empowering participants
Our programs are designed to be as transformative for travellers as they are for the communities. Participants leave with a deeper understanding of global challenges, new skills, and lifelong connections.
Giving back through the Wyld Orange Foundation
Through our foundation, The Wyld Orange, we direct and support projects like local education initiatives, animal welfare and infrastructure improvements.
