Egypt and Jordan - history, culture, and middle Eastern mystique....

Egypt Nile Cruise, Sahara & Jordan - Egypt Nile Cruise, Sahara & Jordan

Take a cruise on the Nile, sleep under a starry Arabian sky in the magnificent White Desert, stand before the Pyramids of Giza, and explore the beautiful pink and orange lost city of Petra. These are just some of the many incredible things we do along the way. Egypt and Jordan are two amazing countries with fascinating cultures, awe-inspiring landscapes and friendly locals. Come with us on a journey back in time, full of culture, adventure and fun!



Egypt - Nile Cruise and Sahara

Egypt - balmy desert, amazing temples and tombs, and a cruise on the Nile...

Imagine yourself relaxing next to a pool under the hot Egyptian sun, cool drink in hand, on the deck of a beautiful cruise ship - casually watching life on shore pass by, as we float from one amazing place to the next. Sounds good, doesn't it! Egypt is a country that just has to be visited to be believed, and really is a must on any travelers list. The legacies left behind in the form of incredible temples, pyramids and artifacts created by the Pharaohs and other ancient peoples will leave you absolutely speechless, especially in places like Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel and Cairo. What better way to experience these treasures than on board a cruise ship on the Nile! We begin our trip as "land-lubbers" in Cairo and Aswan, taking in the sights and mingling with the locals, before boarding our beautiful boat for a very "cruisey" holiday. We finish the trip with an overnight jeep safari into the spectacular white desert of the Sahara, spending the night under a starry Arabian sky!.



Namibia & Botswana

Stunning desert landscapes and animals in the wild - a great adventure!

Starting at Victoria Falls in Livingstone, we continue on to Namibia, a land of huge vistas and ever-changing scenery that will take your breath away. We stay in the Etosha National Park, where we view giraffe, zebra, impala, elephants and more. Explore the Skeleton Coast, ancient Bushman rock art, and in Swakopmund we spend a day enjoying the cafes, great shops, and wonderful food.
On to Botswana, where we tay on an island in the Okavango Delta, taking a sunset walk to see animals grazing in the beautiful light of the day. Our final days are spent in Chobe National Park where we take a boat cruise - see hippos, crocs and elephants in the water, and buffalo and kudu on land.
There is no doubt that an African safari is a life-changing experience!



India Highlights

India is a feast for the senses!

Think India and you think of colourful saris, delicious spicy food, sacred cows, sensual smells, rickshaws, and chaotic yet irresistible markets packed with fantastic handmade treasures. Think Rajasthan and you think of romantic deserts, camels sauntering across golden dunes, exotic men in colourful turbans, princely palaces and temples, all with a backdrop of wonderful mystical charm. Rajasthan is a fairytale land full of rich treasures - vibrant, colourful, magic and exotic - no wonder travelers love it.
