EWP (UK) - History
Executive Wilderness Programmes was formed in Kenya in 1985 by a group of local specialists comprising climbers, bush experts, a rally driver and two pilots. The company served those with highly specialised needs. Our clients included two filming units, numerous technical climbing ascents, ballooning, air safaris etc. throughout East Africa.

In 1986 the company opened an office in the UK. Registered as Factpass Ltd, it traded as Executive Wilderness Programmes until 1989 when it changed its trading name to EWP. At the same time the Kenyan company changed ownership and is now independant of EWP (UK).

In 1991 with the opening up of the former Eastern Block, Andrew Wielochowski, a director of EWP (UK) who spoke Polish and Russian established contacts in Eastern Europe and soon EWP built up associations with leading experts in a variety of outdoor activity fields in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Turkey, the Azores, parts of Italy and Central Asia. We now have representative organisations in all of these countries.

EWP (UK) - Maps
Many of the areas we operated in had maps which were either out of print, restricted or out of date. To remedy this we used our local expertise and with the help of cartographers we published our range of maps. West Col Productions (UK), The Geographic Bureau, (St Petersburg) and Bel Alpin (Romania) were involved with this work and many of our maps are jointly published with these companies. See Maps .

Our Guides
We have a core of fully qualified technical climbing guides who accompany our expeditions requiring technical mountain guiding. We also use local experts: in East Africa many of our trips are led by local guides who have been trained and / or approved by us. These guides are not responsible for technical climbing guiding. However in the Caucasus and Central Asia our local guides are generally "Masters of Sport" and mountaineering experts of the highest calibre. All our trips are led by English speaking guides who have been trained by us. In the former Soviet Union well equipped doctors accompany our trips into remote areas. In less remote areas we have trained first aiders in every group. In East Africa our local walking guides have basic first aid knowledge and on the Major East African mountains they can quickly obtain professional help from the local park rescue teams.
