who we are
About Salt Caravan
We make small-group journeys built around food, guided by people who know their places properly.
We take you to the places you wouldn’t find on your own, and introduce you to the people you’d never have met without us.
We’re for curious, experienced travelers who’d rather understand a place than tick it off. People who’d choose one brilliant meal over five mediocre ones, and a good story over another photo for the collection.
We’re not for everyone.
That’s fine. We weren’t trying to be.
the kitchen behind the scenes
We’re a small team with a lot of experience designing and running small-group travel.
And yes, we’re obsessed with food.
But we’re equally interested in the things you probably don’t think about while you’re eating it: whether the timing works, whether the transfer is where it should be, whether everyone knows what’s happening, and what we’ll do if something goes sideways.
The best trips feel effortless.
They aren’t.
That’s our job.
Mat and Rebe co-founded Leatherback Travel, the company behind Salt Caravan. They've eaten badly in a lot of famous places and well in a lot of unknown ones. We represent that second list.
