Asia Safari \u2014 Your Local Travel Agency in Laos since 2002<\/h1>\n

Asia Safari is a receptive agency founded in Vientiane in 2002 by Jean-Paul Duverg\u00e9. Over 25 years of organizing tailor-made trips to Laos and Indochina for discerning French-speaking travelers. No catalog. No intermediary. Just a passionate local team that knows the country like the back of its hand. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Why Asia Safari?<\/h2>\n

The name Asia Safari was born from the field, not from a brainstorming session.<\/p>\n

When we arrived in Laos in the early 2000s, adventure tourism was still in its infancy. We then envisioned expeditions to remote areas, with mobile camps in the heart of nature \u2014 tents pitched in the middle of forests and isolated villages, in a spirit directly inspired by African safaris. <\/p>\n

Those years in the field changed everything: new itineraries traced on foot, by pirogue or on elephant back, bonds forged with local communities who still trust us today, a knowledge of the country that cannot be acquired from guidebooks.<\/p>\n

When we founded the agency to create tailor-made trips to Laos, keeping this name was essential. It says who we are: a passionate field team, with twenty-five years of experience traveling the country from the northern mountains to the Mekong islands. <\/p>\n

Today, every trip we design carries this heritage \u2014 the desire to explore, to go a little further, to reveal a Laos that few travelers have the chance to see.<\/p>\n<\/div>

In 2007, after 5 years of exploration in the north of the country, Jean-Paul Duverg\u00e9’s, Asia Safari’s founder, African dream took shape. The agency expanded its offerings with an accommodation facility (10 rooms) built at the foot of the mountains in Oudomxay province. A key base for discovering the region of the Akha, Khamu, and Ikos minorities and experiencing a way of life on the banks of the Nam Pak: the native staff from neighboring villages, attached to the Lodge for many years, are a true source of well-being. The cuisine made from local products is worthy of Asia’s finest tables, and the traditional bathing ritual is unique in Laos.<\/p>\n<\/div>
