ABOUT
EXTRAKT TRAVEL GMBH
We are a B2B Wildlife Photography Destination Management Company. Extrakt Travel GmbH specializes in high-end Wildlife Photography Safaris, Northern Lights Photography trips, Sport Fishing Expeditions, and remote wildlife adventures. We provide professional ground handling services, which are vital for expeditions in remote and logistically challenging areas.
We have established ourselves as a key Destination Management Company (DMC) for photographers, filmmakers, and influencers seeking unique and visually striking locations.
The Role of Ground Handling Services as a Wildlife Photography Destination Management Company!
Ground handling means managing all local logistics and operational support to run a trip smoothly once guests arrive. We operate in regions such as East Africa, Central Africa, the Amazon, and remote Indian Ocean islands. These services are crucial for a successful trip.
Unlike standard tour operators, we rely on locally coordinated infrastructure and expertise. This ensures safety, efficiency, and a seamless experience. Many of our expeditions take place far from established tourism networks, making reliable ground handling essential.
Our Key Ground Handling Services
- Airport Meet & Assist / Transfers
We personally coordinate the reception of our clients upon arrival, assisting with immigration, baggage, and onward transfers—often involving domestic flights, boats, or off-road vehicles to reach remote camps. - Local Transport & Logistics
We organize all local transport, including 4×4 vehicles, charter flights, boats, and fuel management. In regions with limited infrastructure, these logistics are carefully planned and continuously monitored. - Accommodation & Camp Operations
We work with trusted partners or establish our own remote lodges and tented camps. Our ground teams manage staffing, catering, maintenance, and guest services in areas where standard hotel infrastructure does not exist. - Permits & Regulatory Compliance
We handle all necessary permits, including fishing licenses, park permissions, customs clearance for equipment, and compliance with local regulations—often in complex administrative environments. - Guiding & Local Expertise
We coordinate experienced local guides, skippers, trackers, and translators. Their knowledge is essential not only for safety, but also for the success of activities such as sport fishing or wildlife tracking. - Safety & Emergency Planning
Safety is a top priority. Our ground handling includes medical contingency planning, evacuation procedures, satellite communication systems, and coordination with local authorities where required. - Equipment Handling & Maintenance
We ensure that all specialized equipment—whether fishing gear, boats, or professional camera systems—is transported, maintained, and fully operational in remote environments.
