Egypt has been on Hollie's travel wish list for years, and recently she finally had the opportunity to experience it for herself, travelling along the Nile aboard the Travelmarvel Sirius.

One of the biggest highlights was seeing the Pyramids for the very first time – a moment that was even more incredible than she had imagined.

The journey continued with visits to Egypt's remarkable ancient sites, including the temples of Karnak, Philae and Abu Simbel, as well as the Valley of the Kings. Having an Egyptologist bring the history and stories behind these extraordinary places to life made each visit even more fascinating.

Between excursions, Hollie enjoyed the slower pace of life aboard the ship, watching everyday life unfold along the Nile and experiencing a memorable High Tea at the iconic Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan.

For Hollie, it was the perfect combination of ancient history, incredible experiences and time to simply enjoy the journey.

Dreaming of Egypt? Hollie would love to share her experience and help you plan your own Egyptian adventure.

From the vineyards of Franschhoek to the wilds of South Africa, Phil and Carole, along with their families, recently enjoyed a memorable journey with andBeyond Travel.

The trip began in Franschhoek, where they spent a few days at Leeu Estates enjoying the beautiful scenery and exploring the local wineries.

Then it was time for safari, with three nights at &Beyond Phinda Mountain Lodge followed by four nights at &Beyond Ngala Safari Lodge in the Kruger region.

The two reserves offered completely different experiences. Phinda was incredibly diverse, with varied landscapes and a reputation for cheetah and black rhino sightings. The trip got off to an extraordinary start, seeing the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) on their very first game drive.

At Ngala, the experience had more of that classic African bush feel, with incredible wildlife encounters including a rare white lion. A real highlight for Phil was watching elephants wander right up to the lodge and stop for a drink from the swimming pool.

Our clients discovered the exceptional experiences offered by the Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group, from expertly crafted journeys and immersive experiences to world-class cruising and extraordinary safari lodges.

On Saturday, our Travel Advisor Katie attended the National Travel Industry Awards as a Top 5 Finalist for Most Outstanding Travel Consultant – Leisure.

While she didn’t take home the top prize, being recognised as one of the youngest Advisors ever to become a Top 5 Finalist is an incredible achievement in itself.

Katie was a guest of the Luxury Travel Collection team at their table for the evening. It was a lovely opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the wider travel industry together.

It makes Katie’s achievement even more impressive when you consider that she joined Bicton Travel just four years ago as our receptionist and has since grown into a top Travel Advisor.

We couldn’t be prouder of you, Katie!
