How We Travel Together

Kazakhstan is no longer a secret

Deemed safe

In 2025, Kazakhstan was officially recognised as a safe destination by the US State Department. 15.7 million foreign tourists — in a single year.

Truly unspoilt

Fewer than 1 per cent of the world’s travellers have seen the lunar landscapes of Mangistau or the lakes of the Kazakh Altai. You’ll be among the first.

Vogue. CNN. World Travel Awards.

Almaty has been named one of the top 14 destinations for 2025 by Vogue. Global recognition has come only recently, but ALEM was here long before anyone else.

FACTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Stories of those who saw the world differently

‘We never imagined that Kazakhstan could look so otherworldly. Bozjyra, Tuzbair, spending the night in yurts under the stars — this is exactly the sort of experience you simply cannot replicate on your own.’
— JAMES AND CHARLOTTE.
‘We were looking for genuine wilderness — and we found it here. Turquoise lakes, nomadic encampments and complete tranquillity far off the beaten track, known to very few. The perfect experience for those who’ve had enough of run-of-the-mill tours.’
— MARCUS AND ANNELISE.
‘Seeing a rocket launch in person is something we never even dared to dream of. The Gagarin launch, the restricted areas of the cosmodrome and the roar that makes everything around you fall silent. This isn’t just a tour; it’s an event that changes the very scale of your perception.’
— LUCAS AND SOPHIE.
“The helicopter transfer to Altai saved us three days’ travel time. Maral antler baths and complete isolation from civilisation were exactly what we needed to recharge. The organisation was top-notch.”
— Jack, an investor
‘We never imagined that birdwatching could be so captivating. A rare sickle-billed stork in its natural habitat, professional guides and a premium campsite in the middle of the steppe — this itinerary showed us a completely unexpected side of Kazakhstan.’
— DANIEL AND MARTA.
‘I didn’t expect Turkestan and Astana to reveal themselves from this angle. Private visits to museums and access to private tastings — that’s exactly the kind of exclusive experience we were looking for.’
— Daniyar and Saule
