Denell Falk

Denell Falk founded Civilized Adventures in 1994, building on 13 years in adventure travel. In the early days of Civilized Adventures, Denell established a close relationship with the Calgary Zoo, designing their natural-history based Zoofaris to Africa, South America and other nature hot-spots. As more people learned of Civilized Adventures, Denell was able to expand and she directed her enthusiasm, experience and attention to detail in seeking out amazing new travel opportunities while establishing important contacts around the world. Today, Civilized Adventures clients consist of individuals, family groups, small groups of friends travelling together, and special-interest corporate groups.

Drawing from many rich travel experiences, Denell is an astute critic of what’s worth adding to a trip, and she never stops looking for new and exciting options for our clients. Denell has been hosting groups for over 20 years, including special journeys testing out new experiences.She has led many groups to Africa (from traditional safari-based countries to the mysterious pyramids of Egypt), Asia, the South Pacific, Europe, South and Central America, as well as expedition cruises to Antarctica, the Spitsbergen region, and our Maritimes. Memorable "recce" trips have included an eye-opening exploration of Papua New Guinea, a walking trip in the foothills of the Indian Himalaya, our inaugural small-group journey to Sri Lanka, and a trip into Brazil's Pantanal and Amazonia regions, including stays in Rio and Salvador.

Coming up in 2017: Denell invites you to join her on a PORTUGAL BIKE ADVENTURE in April, an ICELAND small-group trip in June, a trip to MONGOLIA in September, or a MYANMAR/CAMBODIA trip in October.
