BECOME AN IGO LION



Lions wanted for hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.

*Inspired by Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance Expedition in 1914

Whilst an IGO is in no way as extreme as Shackleton's 1914 expedition across Antarctica, sometimes the journey will have hazards. It’s definitely not always cold and you won’t be away for months, there is very little danger and we sincerely hope that you will return safely. One thing that does ring true is that you will be honoured and recognised for all of your success! 


We are IGO Adventures, tearing up routines, unplugging the digital world and giving you a purpose to reconnect with nature creating a community akin. We are not stuffy and we try not to travel ‘traditionally’. We want you to explore the world in a way that makes sense and above all - look after it!
