‘Down to earth’ means simple, practical, reasonable, and not overly fancy. It means ‘grounded’, in a good way! We hope that our holidays offer just that – holidays which are simple, fun, affordable and which show you the best bits of a region with comfort and good service, but without unnecessary frills which bump up costs. We offer excellent holidays at good value prices.

Adventure travel: We offer holidays which concentrate mainly on wildlife, others which are more culture-orientated, and then of course there are walking holidays, and a great many which have a range of different activities included in them. If you were to choose one term which might connect them all it would probably be ‘adventure travel’. However this does not mean that you have to be 18 yrs old and be willing to rough it every night. Our holidays are for anyone with an interest in the world and who are willing to accept that life, and especially travel, is unpredictable. You need an open mind, a willingness to be flexible and take the highs and lows with equanimity. Occasionally, moving slightly out of your normal comfort zone brings the best experiences. Most of our holidays are also perfect for families with children.
