EXPERTS IN THE CRAFTING OF LUXURY TAILOR MADE HOLIDAYS

Genuine Nordic hospitality & Winter fun

For young and old there is something special about the magic of winter in the far north. Standing in awe at the beauty of the displaying northern lights, gliding silently along forest trails on skis or zooming along with dog sleds, perhaps getting off the beaten track with snowshoes, staying overnight in an igloo or wilderness cabin; then coming back to cosy rooms, wonderful food and hot saunas.

We love our winter holidays up in Sweden and Finland and we have lost count of how many times we have been beyond Arctic Circle but we know we have been providing great winter experiences and northern lights holidays to our clients since before the turn of the millenia.

Clients so frequently talk about the terrific hospitality and with so many years experience we know the great places to stay and where to find the best activities. Now it is your turn to discover what all it is all about…

Why We Enjoy Costa Rica - And why you should travel with us

• The smell of freshly ground Costa Rican coffee filtered the traditional way to start the day at a smart boutique lodge.

• Passionate and knowledgeable guides at every turn; but better still having your own private guide.

• Quiet walks on Pacific beaches.

• The serendipity of spotting wildlife, a tamandua browsing in a tree, a tayra rushing across the road just in front of us, dancing red-capped manakins at a lek, pan-tropical spotted dolphins feeding beside the boat.

• Actually enjoying gallo pinto (beans & rice) for breakfast! Excellent steaks for lunch and fantastic fresh caught raw wahoo and tuna.

• And of course more wildlife from butterflies to whales, glass frogs to jabiru storks, sloths to cheeky baby coatis.

• Our extensive knowledge from the Caribbean to the Pacific coast, from the Nicaraguan border to the border with Panama, from beach to the moutain tops, wetlands to cloudforests, you can be sure we have travelled throughout the country finding wildlife gems, exciting adventures and some great little lodges.

• Our trip ideas on this page have been carefully thought through based on our own experiences and they make great itineraries whether you are a bird watcher, outdoor enthusiast or nature & beach traveller.

Our Africa

There is a sense of belonging we feel when returning to Africa, the magic is re-ignited in us with the sights, sounds and smells; and the charm is in the friendliness of the people. Africa is under our skin, a passion, a wonder and perhaps romantically because this is the place where the man was born.

Our experience of the African continent goes far beyond those countries featured here having travelled widely, but it is within these countries that we can offer the most insightful, professional and unbiased advice.

As we endeavour always to provide world-class experiences, then within Africa, unless specifically requested, we tend to favour smaller, intimate safari camps that provide terrific guiding and personal service. This is not a limiting factor as there are a wealth of unique camps and lodges throughout the African bush that can fulfil a lifetime of safaris in Africa. Some are isolated, simple bush camps others luxurious lodges yet all receive great appreciation from our clients.

Through this and many other small factors communicated to us, we know we have found you the right holiday time and again. Finally, perhaps like you, our clients rarely rush their safari holidays; staying a while to appreciate locations is a consistent theme. It goes without saying that our tailor-made itineraries are all truly unique.
