Traveller's World

read moreAn absolute gem of an island - lush vegetation, delightful people, beautiful beaches, dramatic mountains, ancient historic temples and national parks, all with abundant wildlife and exotic birds. A beach stay can be a large or small part of the itinerary, but it is an exciting experience, setting off with your own car and driver to see something of the island. Sri Lanka is sunny and warm during the depths of our winter, which is great, but there are two monsoon seasons, so it is important that we discuss dates with you.

read moreRuaha is considered one of Tanzania's 'best kept secrets' with a rich floral diversity providing a wealth of wildlife, and an average of just 6,000 visitors per year. The easiest way to arrive is by small plane from Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar or Selous. The park is noted for its large herds of elephant, greater and lesser kudus, sable and roan antelopes. There are many predators including lions, cheetahs, jackals, highly endangered hunting dogs, leopards and striped hyenas. There are also a few luxury tented camps.

read moreSardinia is a beautiful island with spectacular mountain scenery and white sandy beaches. Being Italian, it lends itself to good food and wine and has a great family atmosphere. The area of Northern Sardinia is fantastic to explore by car and also has plenty to offer walkers of all abilities. Flying into Olbia, the Costa Smerelda in the east has many wonderful beaches to enjoy, with white sand and turquoise waters. Cannigione (transfer time approximately 1 hour) is a small town with a choice of local restaurants, tavernas, pharmacy and small supermarket, and there is a boating marina where you can take trips to the Archipelago of La Maddalena.

read moreA skiing holiday in Canada or the USA - a great choice with snow reliable destinations. The seasons run from early December to mid-April depending on the location, and there is something to suit all levels - younger and older children, couples, groups - from beginner slopes to long, sweeping runs through trees (glade skiing). You can spend the whole time at the resort, choose a 2-centre holiday, or include a city visit as well as skiing. There are scheduled flights any day of the week and some charter flights, so we can make up any duration to fit your dates.

read moreKenya offers delightful, small, close to nature safari camps to take you away from mass tourism. Typically with only about 10 or 12 luxury tents, you still get the comfort of a proper bed and space to walk around inside but with the rustic feel of being under canvas. The tents have a private shower and WC attached and usually a veranda to sit and watch the world go by. These small luxury tented camps give you the best of both worlds - while they are comfortable, you feel close to the wilderness that you've come to experience.

read moreThe best place to see tigers are two remote national parks in central India - Kanha and Bandhavgarh. The wildlife and natural habitat make a wonderfully exciting and relaxing contrast with the culture and history of other parts of India. Being out in the forest at dawn to see a wild tiger from elephant back is an experience of a lifetime. You really can see the tigers this close up and when you do, you will never forget it! Traveller's World will tailor make an itinerary to include the national parks with anything you would like to see in India.

read moreThe southernmost part of the Greek mainland below the Corinth Canal has archeology set in natural beauty. In addition to the relaxing 'away from it all' feeling with true Greek traditions, there is a great deal to explore. Because much of the Peloponnese was cut off for so long by distance and poor roads, many parts still have a feeling of remoteness, even though there are now fast modern highways to take you quickly to the place you wish to visit. The Peloponnese is well blessed with intriguing ancient sites like the famous ruins of ancient Olympia, Mycenae, anfd Pylos as well as delightful smaller sites off the beaten track, which you can have all to yourself.

read moreAlbania has historic towns and ancient ruins, striking mountain scenery and a lovely Riviera coast. There is nowhere I have been that is so falsely represented in the western press and public opinion. This is a great time to go while undiscovered - reasonable prices, uncrowded, local people enjoying visitors. The best way to see Albania is by self-drive car and the only place you can get a rental car is in Tirana, so fly London to Tirana. You can have the accommodation pre-booked and we will help you work out an itinerary.
