The Wildside – Botswana Safari

July 10, 2021 by Trisha Moses

botswana african gay tour elephants

As with most new places I travel to, I aim to have a clear mind and zero expectations. That way I eliminate any chance of disappointment.
However, rest assured that Botswana will not disappoint. I was blown away as I developed our new Botswana Safari experience, which also includes Victoria Falls for 2022. I can honestly say that this adventure was over the top in every way possible.

International Travel Over a Year into the Pandemic

May 14, 2021 by Trisha Moses

Namibia waterburg view for miles

In August, we launched our first tour since March 2020. Our clients traveling during the pandemic had a wonderful time away from the world down in the bottom of the Grand Canyon. After almost 5 months of all tours being rescheduling for 2021, it was a very bittersweet moment to be able to actually run a 2020 tour! I’ve missed our tours and I’ve missed seeing the amazing memories that our groups share. It was a joy that I was able to be present to make sure expectations of dealing with Covid-19 were met.

Through a Murky Crystal Ball

April 4, 2021 by Philip Sheldon

SW Gay Colorado Dude Ranch Adventure Tour

As we move into the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, I am cautiously optimistic about the resumption of travel. Our daily lives have changed, our expectations have changed, travel has changed. What has not changed is the human yearning for new experiences – and to return to familiar places where one feels welcome.

Tribute to HE Travel Founder Hanns Ebensten

Hanns Ebensten Tribute Blog HE Travel Worldwide Gay Adventure and Cultural Travel Tours

As I start my 21st year as the owner of HE Travel, I would like to pay homage to our heritage. A look back at the history of HE Travel must start with Hanns Ebensten, who founded Hanns Ebensten Travel and ran the first gay tour in 1973, down the Grand Canyon.

Twenty Years: Looking Back and Ahead

February 7, 2021 by Philip Sheldon

20 year anniversary for Phil Sheldon of HE Travel

20 years is a very long time. 20 years pass in an instant. I feel both emotions as I commemorate the 20th anniversary of my purchase of Hanns Ebensten Travel (later HE Travel), and as we gleefully put the year 2020 into the rearview mirror.

Thanksgiving Promise 2020

November 29, 2020 by Philip Sheldon

Phils 2020 Thanksgiving Blog with featured guest, Delta, his bunny

The American holiday of Thanksgiving offers an opportunity to reflect on a challenging year and to share gratitude. When travel came to a standstill back in March, none of us knew what to expect. However, we at HE Travel are very grateful for the support and encouragement we received from our clients and our travel partners around the world. This has made it possible to look ahead to offering memorable travel experiences in 2021 and beyond.
