Unlike traditional cruises that navigate the Antarctic Peninsula, White Desert flies you directly into the heart of the continent. Their private jet service from Cape Town to Antarctica ensures a seamless journey, allowing you to step onto the icy expanse within just five hours. This means no days spent crossing the often-turbulent Drake Passage—just pure Antarctic magic from the moment you arrive.
Exclusive Eco-Luxury Camps

White Desert operates two ultra-luxurious camps, Whichaway and Echo, each designed with both sustainability and indulgence in mind.
- Whichaway Camp is nestled by a freshwater lake and offers chic, pod-style accommodations with plush interiors, fine dining, and expert-led excursions.
- Echo Camp is a futuristic retreat inspired by space exploration, providing an intimate and modern setting for discerning travelers.
Both camps prioritize environmental responsibility, running on renewable energy and operating under a strict “leave no trace” policy.
