Journeys
We can book you a ready-made holiday from a tour operator we work with, or, from 2027, build a journey from scratch with our own partners on the ground. Either way, we need to know a little about you before we can suggest anything sensible.
Ready-made holidays to all four destinations from established tour operators, adjusted where the operator allows. Some include flights. We tell you who the operator is when you enquire, and give you their booking conditions before you book.
From 2027 we will also build tailor-made, ground-only journeys with our own partners: safaris, the coast and Sri Lanka wellness. Flights are not included, but we are happy to advise. We are taking enquiries now.
We keep to a few places we know well. Knowing the ground is what turns a good trip into a memorable one: which lodge faces the right way, which guide is worth waiting for, which week to avoid.
We can arrange a private safari with your own guide and vehicle, so you are not sharing a minibus. The Mara and the Serengeti when the timing is right, and quieter conservancies when it is not. Usually seven to ten nights, often paired with the coast.
The Indian Ocean coast, most often as the second half of a safari. Zanzibar for beaches, spice farms and Stone Town; Lamu for something slower and considerably less visited. Five to seven nights is usually right.
Doctor-led Ayurveda and classical Panchakarma, alongside tea country, the south coast and the cultural triangle. The wellness programmes run from five to twenty-one nights, depending on what you want from them.
See the Sri Lanka programmes →Beach and island holidays in their own right, from tour operators we work with. Once our own journeys launch, you can also add a few nights on the way home, or a honeymoon leg after safari.
01
Where, roughly when, how many of you, and what you are hoping for. A rough budget helps more than people expect, because it saves us both proposing things that were never going to work.
02
A call, usually half an hour. This is where most of the useful work happens, and where we will tell you if what you have described is not going to do what you want it to.
03
A written itinerary with what is included, what is not, and what it costs. No pressure to decide.
04
Most people change the first version: the pace, the properties, the length or the route. That is what the conversation is for.
05
A deposit secures it. Every payment goes into a UK trust account with Protected Trust Services, and the tour operator or supplier is paid from there. For a package, you get the operator's booking conditions before you pay.
06
You will have a named contact and a number that works while you are away.
We are putting together sample itineraries and indicative prices with ground partners and will publish them here soon. Until then, the quickest way to find out what your trip might cost is to tell us what you have in mind.
Tell us roughly where, roughly when, and what you are hoping for. Shabnam will reply personally within two working days, or call if you would rather talk it through.
