Expedition Booking

How to apply for placement: seasonal schedules, guest selection criteria, and invitation requests.

Admission to The Amber Reserve is strictly limited and highly selective. To maintain absolute security, ecological balance, and guest privacy, we host a maximum of forty guests per season. No exceptions are made.

If you have not received a direct personal invitation from a member of our Board, you may submit a formal application for placement below.


The Selection Process

Applications are reviewed quarterly by our Admissions Committee. Priority is granted according to the following criteria:

  1. Prior Wilderness Experience: Guests with experience in remote, high-altitude, or tropical wilderness environments.
  2. Scientific or Conservation Support: Individuals who actively support paleogenomics research, wildlife conservation, or ecological stewardship.
  3. Institutional Affiliation: Representatives from accredited research universities, conservation trusts, or partner organizations.

Seasonal Booking Schedule

Due to migratory and nesting patterns of our resident species, expeditions are scheduled around three primary seasons:

  • The Dry Season (May – September): Optimal conditions for the Central Savanna Safari and deep-forest walks. Highest species visibility.
  • The Nesting Season (October – January): High activity in the Great Forest and Aviary. Restricted access to certain nesting sectors; enhanced observation from armored outposts.
  • The Marine Season (February – April): Warm waters and optimal visibility in the Marine Lagoon. Best for deep-water observation panels and coastal crossings.

How to Apply

To request an invitation for an upcoming season, please prepare a formal dossier containing:

  • Your Professional Profile: Detailing your background, affiliations, and prior wilderness travel.
  • Expedition Objectives: A brief statement explaining your interest in observing resurrected Mesozoic life.
  • Party Details: The names, contact details, and dietary/medical considerations for all proposed guests (maximum party size of six).

All dossiers should be sent securely to our Admissions Desk:

“We do not sell tickets. We select companions for an journey that defies sixty-five million years of history. Choose your season, submit your dossier, and prepare to witness what should not exist.” — Director of Admissions, Operations Group
