Apex Expeditions

Apex Expeditions is a Seattle-based small-group expedition company offering high-end natural history and wildlife journeys to some of the planet's most biologically distinctive places, including Madagascar, Brazil, India, Namibia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Their Madagascar programmes lean into the island's astonishing endemism, with itineraries built around the five complete bird families and 140 endemic species restricted to the island. Trips are led by named expedition leaders and combine birding with broader natural history — lemurs, chameleons and the island's bizarre insectivores — at price points typical of upmarket expedition operators. Itineraries are detailed, dated and small-group, with a strong emphasis on experienced leadership.
