A True Partnership in Conservation: Arturo Islas Allende x Back to the Source Tours
Over the past few years, Arturo Islas Allende has not only become a beloved voice in wildlife conservation across Latin America, but also a cherished partner and advocate within our East African travel family. At Back to the Source Tours, we are proud and honored to have worked side by side with Arturo and his team—from orchestrating wildlife filmmaking safaris in the heart of East Africa to producing the widely celebrated children’s conservation series, SíMiPlaneta: Arturo y Su Pandilla, across Uganda and Kenya.
These unforgettable journeys weren’t just about filming wildlife—they were about building bridges between cultures, uplifting local voices, and sharing conservation messages that transcend language and borders. Whether tracking lions in the savanna, filming gorillas in Bwindi, or capturing Maasai-led community stories, every moment was grounded in mutual respect, purposeful storytelling, and sustainable travel practices that directly benefit the local communities we serve.
Now, as Arturo opens the door for others to join in on these powerful experiences, we are thrilled to offer select hosted group trips where travelers can walk in the footsteps of his journey. His November 2025 tour is now open for bookings, and more dates for 2026 will be released soon. These hosted safaris go far beyond tourism—they’re a chance to connect with nature, meet conservation heroes, and be a part of something truly meaningful.
Working with Arturo is more than a collaboration—it’s a shared mission to be a voice for those who can’t speak, whether they are endangered animals or marginalized communities. We are constantly inspired by leaders like Arturo who use their platforms to protect the wild and amplify causes that matter. We welcome like-minded travelers who want to leave more than just footprints. Through every custom-designed experience, we invite you to leave a legacy of awareness, empathy, and impact.
Watch this space. There’s so much more to come. And from the entire Back to the Source Tours team—thank you for believing in what we do.

Road Trip vs. Aerial vs. Train
At Back to the Source Tours, we are deeply committed to offering our travelers the most unforgettable experiences of their lives, while staying grounded in sustainability, cultural respect, and environmental responsibility. Across all of our tours, you’ll notice that we provide a variety of travel options—by road, by air, and sometimes even by First Class train—carefully curated to reflect not only the best of each destination, but also your personal preferences and time frame.
Many of our suggested itineraries feature a thoughtful mix of transportation modes—allowing you to cover more ground when time is limited, or to slow down and absorb the journey when that’s your preference. This flexibility is central to our approach: every trip is customized, and every route can be adjusted to better align with your values—whether that means reducing your carbon footprint or choosing the most immersive path.
Let us know how you prefer to travel, and we’ll build the perfect experience around it—without compromising on authenticity, comfort, or our shared commitment to preserving the places we love.
