Touring Explained Ideal for first time visitors, escorted tours are a great way to experience a destination with the benefit of an expert guide offering informative commentary, amidst some of the world’s spectacular sights! For repeat visitors, escorted touring may also provide a chance to journey far from the beaten track. Each of our tours includes a guide, varied sightseeing, return scheduled flights, accommodation and meals as detailed in each of the tour itineraries. We haven’t included tipping, to ensure this local expenditure goes directly into the hands of those who work so hard to maximise your enjoyment overseas.


Some tours are subject to a minimum number of passengers to ensure the very best value.


Game Experiences A selection of our tours allow special opportunities to view some of the world’s most unique wildlife and game experiences. Africa boasts some of the world’s finest wildlife reserves and national parks, amongst a backdrop of endless skies, barren deserts and rugged mountains. The Etosha National park in Namibia offers a more scenic wildlife experience, or the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania provide the chance to spot the ‘Big Five’. The romance and diversity of India’s jungle landscapes provide a backdrop for a captivating safari experience, one which uncovers India’s wild heart. Game drives through the Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks are where the majestic presence of the elusive tiger reigns supreme.


Local Guides Our guides are of the highest quality and many have been with us for years. You can expect a good standard of English and vast local knowledge.
