About White Desert
White Desert runs luxury expedition trips to the Antarctic interior. Guests fly from Cape Town to a blue ice runway, stay in the company's camps (Whichaway, Echo and Explorer) and take itineraries that include visits to the South Pole, an Emperor penguin colony and Blue Ice Tunnels. Camps are limited to 12 guests each, and the company also offers a one-day trip from Cape Town to Antarctica.
Customers are individual travellers, families and exclusive-use groups who book priced, fixed-date trips per person. Trips are sold directly through the company's enquiry and booking process, and trade enquiries from travel partners are handled separately.
White Desert was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in London, with an operating base in Cape Town, where guests are briefed before departure. The company states that a team of over 100 people works on the ground during each season.
Product: Fixed-date guided Antarctic expedition trips from Cape Town, including flights, camp stays and South Pole itineraries.
