MAHO® on Earth is a travel company and travel publication founded by explorer and travel designer Mahide. It grew from years of independent travel and a desire to create journeys that go beyond the usual routes. Built on years of firsthand travel across six continents, we design carefully curated journeys that focus on culture, nature, adventure, and meaningful local connection. Alongside our small-group trips and tailor-made itineraries, we publish travel guides, expedition reports, and authentic stories from around the world. Whether you join one of our curated adventures, design a private journey with us, or simply come here for inspiration, our goal remains the same: to help you experience the world with more curiosity, depth, and respect.
The best way to understand a MAHO journey is to hear from the people who’ve been on one. A few words from our travelers, shared from journeys around the world.
Our journey through Sri Lanka was truly beyond our expectations. We discovered a country of breathtaking beauty, wonderfully kind people, and an itinerary that was perfectly planned. Our guide, Ravit, was simply outstanding. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. Throughout the trip, he became much more than a guide—he became a true friend. This holiday will undoubtedly remain one of the most wonderful memories our family has ever shared. Mahide and her team provided an exceptional level of service, showing genuine thoughtfulness and dedication to ensuring we had the best possible experience.
SWITZERLAND, Bespoke Trip, Sri Lanka July 2026
My wife and I visited Sri Lanka for the first time recently; even though we are fairly experienced international travelers we realized that using a third party to help us with our travels would smooth things out and provide us with peace of mind. We looked at a few options but Mahide stood out in terms of her approach, flexibility and easy style. She spoke with us about our hopes and wishes and put together a full program (including accommodation and a driver guide) that gave us a core itinerary but also included some flexibility so that we could adjust things a little based on things like the weather, our energy level, and so on Things worked out great! Our guide (Mili) was super knowledgeable, friendly and and all around good guy, the accommodation was outstanding and as intended we worked around the occasional rain shower and energy trough(!) I would have absolutely no hesitation to use the team again, and highly recommend them

AUSTRIA, Scuba Diving Family Trip 2024, Egypt
Our Sri Lanka trip with MAHO last summer was beyond our dreams...It was as if Mahide knew us better than we knew ourselves.... I believe that what made Mahide's tour special was her love for her job, her sincere and genuine interest in the people she encountered, her experiences, intelligence and success in problem solving. ... We experienced that the value she gives to her job is also reflected in the way she selects her partners.....I would like to thank you very much Mahide, Mili and Vishan for making us experience this adventure full of beautiful memories that we will never forget.
CYPRUS, joined Sri Lanka Kandy Perahera Festival Group Tour 2024
A big thank you to our tour organizer and now beautiful friend Mahide @earthmaho who patiently answered all our questions, to our local guide Mili who greeted us with flowers and sent us home with gifts, and to our driver Vishan for letting us experience this beautiful country to the fullest and making it even more beautiful.
CYPRUS, joined Sri Lanka Kandy Perahera Festival Group Tour 2024
From October to November 2022, we had an amazing 4-week trip with Maho to and through Mexico. Maho planned a great mix of festivals (Día de Muertos), historical sites, nature, culture and relaxation. All of this made this trip an unforgettable dream trip. ... If you want to visit Mexico, Día de Muertos is the perfect time. You can always feel the passion that Mahide has for traveling and that she shares with her companions.... As most people in Mexico don't speak English, let alone German, we are also grateful for Maho's great Spanish skills. We would be happy to travel with Maho again at any time.
