In 1994, after 13 years in adventure travel, Denell Falk founded Civilized Adventures, continuing a close relationship with the Calgary Zoo, designing their natural-history based Zoofaris. Her enthusiasm, experience and attention to detail continue to bring her success in designing special interest trips for both independent travellers and organizations including the Calgary Zoo, the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada, and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (Calgary Centre), as well as for individuals.

Drawing from many rich travel experiences, Denell is an astute critic of what’s worth adding to a trip. She has led many groups to Africa, Asia, the South Pacific, Europe, South and Central America and also to Antarctica. Denell has been hosting groups for over 20 years, and in 2008 she hosted a Civilized Adventure to Egypt and a safari to Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe. In January/February 2009 Denell hosts a group in Kenya & Tanzania to witness the annual migration! E-mail her at denell@civilizedadv.com.
