Something a little different, but a bucket list destination for many. As well as a tour of historic Reykjavik, experience the wonders of nature first-hand with an itinerary to impress even seasoned geologists and wildlife experts.
It wouldn’t be a trip to Iceland without a stop in UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park, where we witness the power of Gullfoss waterfall and Strokkur geysers. Then there’s the fauna – seeing the iconic puffins of Reynisfjara’s volcanic black sandy beach and spotting whales and dolphins on a tranquil cruise. As well as being warmer and drier in summer, July and August is the ideal season for wildlife spotting.
A hidden gem of Europe, explore the charming villages and medieval towns amongst the breathtaking rolling hills and terraced vineyard slopes of the stunning Douro Valley in Portugal.

Uncover Madeira, the Pearl of the Atlantic
Madeira is well known for its year-round flora, making it a great destination in any season. We of course see these horticultural feats on visits to Palheiro Gardens, Monte Palace Tropical Gardens and the UNESCO-listed Ribeiro Frio forest park.
Plus, we uncover the many other highlights of Madeira, tasting world famous wines, walking the old town of picturesque Funchal and seeing the mysterious Curral das Freiras. Madeira has a pleasantly mild Mediterranean climate all year, but July and August bring an abundance of colour to the magnificent gardens.

Witness the wildlife of South Africa
One of the finest places in the world to experience South Africa’s wildlife is the Kruger National Park.
It is exactly how you imagine the African bush to be: areas of sweeping savannah, bisected by rivers full of hippos, muddy waterholes lined with animals quenching their thirst, and the bush itself, home to zebra and antelope, studded by immense biscuit-coloured termite hills and towering above it all, instantly recognisable giraffes! This wonderful 16-day tour is designed to highlight South Africa’s truly amazing diversity of cultures, its curious blend of old and new, and its phenomenal scenery and wildlife.
