Trip Style

Classic

Designed to ensure an authentic and unforgettable travel experience, our Classic trip styles have broad appeal. That’s because they are all about the exploration of unique landscapes, awe-inspiring wildlife and foreign cultures.

Service Level

To help you choose the adventure that’s right for you, each of our trips is carefully evaluated based on its physical demands. Use the following grading system to find the trip that’s right for you.

Some trips are like a stroll on the beach, while others have you trekking alpine passes. Some of you thrive on camping out on the savannah, while others may prefer a hot shower and a comfortable bed in a lodge. Follow the grading systems below to find the right trip for you.

To help you choose the trip that's right for you, we've broken all of our trips down into four service levels. Measuring the comfort level of the accommodation and transport. So whether you're travelling on a budget and want to save money by using public transport, or prefer upgraded accommodation and are happy to pay a little more, then we have a level for you.

Basic
This is grassroots travel at its most interesting
Standard
Authentic experiences with some of the comforts of home
Comfort
For those who like to travel in comfort
