Tailor made holidays
This trip can be tailor made to create a unique holiday for your individual requirements by travel experts with intimate knowledge of the destination. It is a more luxurious trip that will suit those who enjoy immersing themselves in new cultures and environments before relaxing in comfort. As this trip can be tailor made it would be helpful if you could you provide the following information: rough budget per person (stating with or without flights), your address and postcode, contact phone number, preferred date of travel, length of trip, number of passengers, preferred countries and areas within those countries, specific interests & type of accommodation.

How this holiday makes a difference

The visitor project at Kawaza village won the British Guild of Travel Writers "Silver Otter" December 2000 environmental award. All the villagers were part of the decision to invite guests to stay with them. Your visit will bring income to help the local school.

We were voted most responsible tour operator by UK NGO Tourism Concern. On average 75% of the cost of your trip - excluding flights - remains in the destination.

Flights are automatically carbon offset through The Travel Forest, which plants 10 indigenous trees on your behalf (currently in northern Tanzania). Whilst the primary motivation for planting the trees is to offset carbon emissions, the project also works as a poverty alleviation and environmental improvement scheme.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


How dedicated our guides were... Driving up a rocky dry river to see white rhinos and when they smelled/heard us and started coming towards us, realized they could be a lot faster than us on this terrain...

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


We have done 13 days safari and transfer and three days on the beach... I would not plan more than 10 days safari and transfer...

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Every place we have been (Tortilis Camp, Loisaba, Olonana, Manda Bay), enormous attention was given to local people and impact on environment. This is definitely the way it should be...

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


An opportunity of a lifetime even if we ate too much (food was too good).

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The most memorable was the wonderful individual service at Islands of Siankaba & Kwando Safaris. At Siankaba, arriving back to the room each day to find that either a bubble bath had been run or fresh flowers had been left was wonderful. The most exciting was the gorge swing & white river rafting in Victoria Falls as well as the night game drives following lions stalking prey in the Okavango.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Take motion sickness tablets for charter flights. They are very small planes and can be quite bumpy! Take more memory than you think you need if you have a digital camera.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, the benefit to the local people was apparent as well as the various providers attempts to minimise environmental impacts.
