Founded in 2008 and proudly based in Brighton, Rickshaw Travel works with in-destination experts and small-scale independent accommodation to create personalised journeys designed to immerse travellers in local life while preserving the character of each country. Their innovative 'bite-size trips' approach means everyone can pick and choose from hands-on cultural experiences, visits to iconic landmarks and experiential travel throughout incredible places to craft a holiday to suit their needs.
Central to Rickshaw’s mission is a deep commitment to sustainability and ethical travel. Certified by Travelife as a Better Places Partner, they have signed the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action and work toward net-zero emissions by 2050. Their collaboration with welfare experts Animondial and World Animal Protection ensures rigorous animal‑welfare standards, eradicating practices like elephant riding and promoting only ethical wildlife encounters. Furthermore, Rickshaw supports responsible tourism by avoiding plastic and championing local economies - making all their journeys a force for good in communities and ecosystems alike.
