Small Group Tours
Small group tours offer outstanding value - almost invariably the savings when compared to a private trip are considerable. Our tours visit many of the most sought after areas in Africa, Madagascar and Latin America, and are led by extremely knowledgeable, English-speaking guides. Group sizes are usually between 4 -12 people in Africa with slightly larger group sizes possible in Latin America. Some tours depart with a minimum of two passengers. Accommodation ranges from dome tents to comfortable lodges and luxury en suite semi-permanent camps. Small group tours are a sociable and fun way to travel and we can also organise bespoke tours for groups of friends or family.
