Second Nature is a portfolio of award-winning brands across conservation and development. Our mission is to build an ecosystem for people seeking purpose-driven careers.

Each brand within the Second Nature portfolio is dedicated to a specific audience, yet all are united by our commitment to driving positive change:

◼ GVI: A provider of international internship programs and expeditions across conservation and community development, operating in 25 countries around the world. 

◼ Bushwise: A provider of professional safari guide and conservation career training, equipping the next generation of wildlife guides and conservation professionals in Africa.

◼ World of Difference: A specialist in delivering purpose-driven international expeditions for School and University groups. 

◼ GVI Foundation: Our not-for-profit arm, responsible for fundraising to support the long-term, critical work of GVI’s local community and conservation activities on the ground.

Our philosophy is built upon three equally important pillars: 
- Empowering people to live fulfilling lives
- Creating tangible global impact
- Delivering strong, sustainable financial performance to support that global impact. 

We believe that doing good and doing well should go hand-in-hand, creating a cycle of positive impact. Our mission makes our programs more meaningful, and our success provides the resources to amplify that impact.
