More information

The first two weeks of West Africa’s Hidden Gems are spent travelling through Nigeria - and for people with limited time at their disposal we offer the opportunity to take this as a short-duration 17-day tour.
More Information

The Horn of Africa - Omo Option
Our pioneering tour to this remote region departing on 22 January is proving to be very popular and we already have sufficient passengers to justify its operation.
As several of our regular clients who are taking this tour have already visited Ethiopia’s Historic Route (Lalibela, Gondar and Lake Tana) on a previous tour, we have arranged for their benefit an alternative tour to the country’s south - the fascinating Omo Valley, a remote area inhabited by more than twenty distinctive tribes.
