🦍 Planning to see the mountain gorillas in June or July 2027? Don’t wait.

Permits for those months are already limited. Only a small number are released each day to protect the gorillas, and the dry season is one of the most sought-after times to trek.

Whether you’d like to join our fixed-date small group Uganda tour or have a private tailor-made itinerary designed around you, booking early is the best way to secure your dates.

There are places where history feels like something you can touch, and Uzbekistan is one of them. 🕌

Over ten days on the old Silk Road, you could be wandering the walled streets of Khiva, where over sixty monuments sit inside a single UNESCO-protected old town. You could try your hand at baking traditional Khorezmian bread, and stop for lunch in the desert at a nomadic dwelling. In Bukhara you could sit with a miniature painter for a masterclass in a craft that UNESCO recognises as living heritage, then be welcomed into a family home to learn how plov, the national dish, is really made.

And then there’s Samarkand. Registan Square at golden hour is the kind of sight that makes a whole group of people go quiet at once.

It’s one of those countries that surprises almost everyone who goes, and we love sharing it with people. 🧡

Georgia is one of the Caucasus’ best-kept secrets, and a week is enough to fall for it. 🍷🏔️

On our 8-day tour you’ll wander the colourful balconies of Tbilisi’s Old Town and soak in the sulphur baths. You’ll also:

* Eat a home-cooked lunch with a family in Sighnaghi and learn to bake Georgian bread.
* Taste natural wines at family-run cellars.
* Explore the ancient cave town of Uplistsikhe.
* Drive the Georgian Military Highway to Stepantsminda (Kazbegi).
* Walk up to the Gergeti Trinity Church, with Mount Kazbek behind it, and try your hand at folding khinkali.

It’s a private, tailor-made tour with a professional English-speaking guide, so we can arrange it for any departure date. British travellers don’t need a visa for Georgia either.

Explore Georgia in 8 days from just £1,345 per person. Get in touch to learn more.

Dreamed of seeing a wild tiger? 🐅

Our Tiger Trail Tour of India takes you deep into three of the country’s prime tiger reserves - Ranthambore, Kanha and Bandhavgarh. That’s 12 game drives with a forest guard guide, and plenty of time to search for the big cats.

And it isn’t only about the wildlife. You’ll also see the Taj Mahal at sunrise, wander the deserted Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri, visit the UNESCO-listed Khajuraho temples, and ride overnight on an Indian train. Kanha’s forests even inspired Kipling’s The Jungle Book.

It’s a private, tailor-made tour, so we can arrange it for any departure date between October and March. Want to add a beach stay or a yoga retreat? We can do that too.

16 days from £2,345 per person. See the full itinerary on our website.

Let’s be honest, the news can be a lot right now. It’s easy to feel that the world is divided, rushed and a bit worn out.

But in our experience, travel quietly puts things back in perspective. It’s sharing a meal with a family you’ve only just met. It’s a local guide who knows the best hidden spots and is proud to show you. It’s realising that most of us want the same things - community, kindness and a good story to tell.

Our small groups and tailor-made tours are built around exactly that, with real connections, local people and unhurried days.

Albania is one of those places that still catches people by surprise, dramatic mountains running straight down to the Adriatic, Ottoman era towns, and home-cooked meals with families who know exactly what to recommend and where.

Our Introducing Albania Small Group Tour is built for exactly that kind of discovery. It's a small group tour with a knowledgeable local guide, taking in Berat's UNESCO old town, the Albanian Riviera, and mountain villages most visitors never reach. It starts from just£1,395 per person.

It's one of our most accessible small group adventures, and a brilliant introduction to a country we think more people should know. A few dates are already filling up for next season.

Fancy something different for your next trip? We'd love to tell you more.
