When most of us think of a dream vacation, images of sandy beaches, umbrella drinks, and a sparkly swimming pool come to mind (don’t forget the sunscreen!) But for the wild at heart, it might take something a little more adventurous to get them excited.
Not to worry. Here at Philantopia, we pride ourselves in curating the very best auction travel packages in the world, and that includes special packages for the thrill-seekers, the free spirits, the donors who are truly wild at heart. Take a look!
Zulu Nyala African Safari Package
Nothing can compare to the experience of seeing Africa’s big game in the wild. Hippos, rhinoceros, giraffes, elephants, lions, and more are all living and thriving at the Zulu Nyala Heritage Safari Lodge, which is located in one of South Africa’s most diverse conservation regions. This privately owned reserve is home to over 40 different species of animal and a wide array of magnificent bird life.
Each package includes daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as two game-viewing activities per day on the grounds. READ MORE.
Sweet Songs Jungle Lodge
How about a journey deep into the heart of the rainforest? This five-night, all-inclusive stay provides an intimate setting for nature lovers of all ages. Visitors will have the opportunity to go horseback riding to ancient Maya sites, explore the 20 acres of lush tropical vegetation and nearby tropical broad-leaf forest, and hike beyond the property to the Maya archaeological site Xunantunich.
Rich in history and beauty, after a day of excitement donors will be able to return to the casita, where they have access to the treehouse bar, complimentary use of river tubes, canoes, and bikes, or can lounge by the infinity pool. READ MORE.
Somewhere Hot ~ Private Island Catamaran Cruise
For donors who have dreamed of charting their own course, this is the perfect way to dip their toe into life on the seven seas! Somewhere Hot is a 51-foot power catamaran designed to easily accommodate six guests while nimbly navigating the clear blue waters surrounding the Virgin Islands. Itineraries are custom-curated for each charter based on guest preferences, and can be altered at guests’ pleasure at a moment’s notice. Donors might spend a day SCUBA diving, wakeboarding, knee boarding, or taking a wild tube ride behind the RIB when they’re not exploring the islands.
Departing from West End, Tortola, BVI, travelers may choose to visit destinations such as Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, Norman Island, Cooper Island, and St. Thomas. READ MORE.
Las Vegas National Finals Rodeo
You don’t have to travel internationally to satisfy those adventurous hankerings! Send your donors to Las Vegas for the National Finals Rodeo, the world’s premier rodeo with the very best cowboys, barrel racers and livestock on planet Earth. The contestants really are a cut above anything you’ll see at rodeos around the country, showcasing bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, WRPA barrel racing and bull riding. It’s the Super Bowl of Rodeo!
Guests will spend three days and two nights at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Vegas strip, plus enjoy 100-level seating at the rodeo event. READ MORE.

Travelers will see Livingston Island, Deception Island, Cuverville Island, and many more, as well as an incredible array of birds and sea life found only here, at the “end of the Earth.”
