Travel Trade Partnerships

Specialist mountain, active and overland journeys for your clients.

Mountain Guide is a Russia-based specialist travel business led by Sergey Baranov. We work with travel advisors and tour operators to develop journeys around a specific client brief, from a specialist active component to a complete private itinerary.

Tell us what your clients want to experience, how they like to travel and where specialist knowledge would make a difference. We will define the scope, operating team and quotation for that particular journey.

Three ways to work together

A personal expedition leader or adventure specialist

Request Sergey’s personal involvement in a mountain, trekking or overland journey. His role, availability and the appropriate local support are agreed for the specific itinerary. Qualifications, work permissions and insurance must match the activities and responsibilities involved.

A specialist component within your itinerary

Add an agreed mountain, trekking or active module to a wider journey designed by your team. We define the meeting points, services, local team, handovers and responsibilities so the component fits your client’s overall trip.

A complete private journey

Develop a tailored itinerary with us and the relevant local receiving operator. We agree the route, pace, accommodation, transport, guiding language and activities before presenting a detailed, request-specific quotation.

Private Africa journeys

VIP travel in Africa is designed and costed separately from our standard programmes. A published group itinerary is not a ready-made private luxury offer.

For each enquiry, we specify the accommodation level and exact properties, vehicle and luggage requirements, private or shared activities, guide language, pace and any domestic flights or specialist services. The final proposal identifies the local operating arrangements, inclusions, exclusions and availability.

We assess whether a route suits the guests before recommending it. A long overland exploration and a fly-in safari are different products, with different budgets and expectations. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Your brand and client relationship

You retain your brand and client relationship. We do not market directly to clients you introduce. We provide a net quotation for the agreed services, with the division of responsibilities and commercial terms set out in writing.

There is no universal commission or automatic price derived from our public group tariffs. Private arrangements are quoted against the actual brief, party size and service level.

Send us a client brief

A useful starting point is:

• Destination and approximate dates, including flexibility.
• Number of guests, ages and relevant activity experience.
• Interests, preferred pace and any essential requirements.
• Accommodation and service expectations, guiding language and budget range.
• Whether you need Sergey’s personal involvement, a specialist component or a complete private journey.

We then confirm the scope and any missing details, check local delivery and prepare a written proposal. Availability, permits, safety arrangements, contracting and payment eligibility must be confirmed before a booking is accepted.

Our online programmes illustrate possible routes. They do not confirm private-trip availability, an English-speaking team or the current price for your client’s request.
