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.

Planning and preparing for a safari holiday in African can be a little daunting with so many countries and options to consider. Below are a few African travel tips to take into consideration both before and during your holiday: (more…)

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.

In the eastern Caribbean Sea northwest of Barbados you will discover an island called Saint Lucia. It is a gorgeous island and where you will find the Anse Chastanet resort. Situated between Petit and Gros Piton mountains it is pretty perfectly placed on the hillside.

At the resort you will have all the facilities you need right at your fingertips including a car rental desk and a currency exchange.
You’ll be able to enjoy spending time here with its 2 restaurants and bars, beachside boutiques, the scuba and water-sports centre, library and much more… You can go on a nature walk, or take a bike ride around St Lucia, or even enjoy a kayaking experience.

For something more relaxed, you can spend time on the beach and visit the casual bar and restaurant situated right by the beach. Or stay and be pampered in the luxury spa after being served breakfast or afternoon tea on the panoramic hillside terrace.

Rome has made its name as a superb city with ancient culture, tasty food and numerous attractions and it’s the type of city many people dream of visiting, especially when it is thriving in the summer months.

The famous Colosseum or the Circus Maximus will certainly be worth a visit but there is so much more. It’s the hidden gems in Rome that make it so special, such as the pizzeria tucked away in the cobble street alley, the friendly people and the beautiful warm weather.

You can enjoy pizza or pasta dishes in the sun,  with terrific views over the city and then perhaps take a day trip to visit Pompeii. Nightlife is also a really nice aspect of a Roman holiday but if you’re not looking for a night out on the town, more relaxing entertainment can be found in traditional bars and restaurants.
