Cruise Holidays
Enjoy the gentle pace of river life and the landscapes that unfold in comfort and luxury. From the history and drama of the River Nile on an exclusive Bales Dahabiyya, the Gorges of the mighty Yangtze or the riverside communities in India or Ecuador.
Wildlife & Safari Holidays
Enjoy the natural wonders of our world usually only seen in documentaries. African safaris for the “Big Five”, Antarctic and Galapagos cruises for penguins, whales and sea-life or Indian and Nepalese jungles for elephant, leopard and the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger.
Walking & Active Holidays
If you want something more active then try walking in the Himalayas or Andes (making use of very comfortable lodges) or perhaps joining a unique Zambian Walking Safari. The jungles of Borneo lend themselves to activity or try rafting or zip-wiring in the rainforests of Costa Rica.
Train & Rail Holidays
Travelling by rail is a great way to see the planet be it the most modern Bullet Train in China and Japan or a luxury converted Maharajah’s carriage in India. See the High Andes in Peru from the Vistadome Train or cross the South Africa veldt on the Blue Train.
Group Travel
Group Travel arrangements can be created for 10 or more travellers, such as class trips, sports team, corporate events and more. We have access to group rates from the airlines, can offer excellent hotel prices and our local guides are second to none.
