Seychelles are beautiful islands located off the east coast of Africa. Unfortunately, isolation and a pristine environment comes with a price and a trip to the Seychelles will cost. The Seychelles cater to honeymooners, celebrities, and high-end tourists. But if you have the money, then this place should be on the top of your list of places to visit.
On the main islands, you can find hotels on the low end budget, but there are many high-end places with rooms starting at well over £100 per night per person. Most people will travel as part of a package holiday, but this isn’t necessarily a requirement.
You can eat relatively cheaply as long as you steer away from hotel and high end restaurants.
Bikes are one of the best ways to get around the islands, you should be able to find a place to hire one. On the main islands of Mahé and Praslin you should be able to hire a car. Also, there are high-speed catamaran rides between Mahé and Praslin. Ferries also run between the islands as well as boat trips. Some of the boat trips are more focused on sightseeing.

We found a number of adventure trips that you could go on in the Amazon, one in particular has caught our attention. Exodus provides an 11 day (including flights) package excursion following the Inca Trail. This is inclusive of flights at just under £2,000 per person covering:

• All breakfasts, 5 lunches, 4 dinners
• All accommodation
• All transport and listed activities
• Tour leader throughout
• Flights from London
• Arrival and departure transfers

Only four of the eleven days are spent walking and you’ll usually be walking for 6-8 hours in high altitude, but will be on good paths – however expect lots of steps! The trail goes from the Urubamba River, across mountain passes and through cloud forests, passing through several crumbling fortresses before reaching the lost city of Machu Picchu.

Their groups are small from 4-16, usually averaging about 12 and are for adults (16 years+) who they suggest should be moderately fit.

One of the most popular countries for a safari in Africa, Tanzania is far more varied than you might first imagine. Below are three options to consider for a Tanzania safari; you could think about doing just one option or even combining them with one another.

The Northern Circuit

The northern areas of Tanzania are the country’s most well-known. The famous Serengeti National Park is here along with areas such as the Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. Wildlife in these areas is fantastic, particularly in the Serengeti. This is also where you’ll find the Great Migration (for some months of the year), an incredible gathering of over two million wildebeest and zebra. The best way to see the north is with a private guide who will accompany you to each location bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and experience whilst ensuring consistency throughout your holiday.
