At Undiscovered Destinations we believe we are the first UK based tour operators to offer a regular small group tour in Eritrea, one of the most exciting and intriguing destinations on the planet. Even for the well travelled, these pioneering trips are something special and almost certainly unique.
We have 2 small group options, Eritrea Discovery and Dankalia Adventure. The Adventure trip takes in the length of the infamous Dankalia, where as the Discovery, includes more varied activities, a camel safari and possibly a ride on the 100-year-old Italian built steam railway. Both include a day excursion to the wonderful Dahlak islands to discover one of the best coral reefs.

Tailormade Tours
What is a Tailormade Tour?
If you want the freedom to plan your own trip, without being restricted to the consensus of the group, then a Tailormade Tour is a great way to travel. It really is the next best thing to travelling independently and will appeal to the traveller, who perhaps would normally travel this way. The practicalities of independent travel should not be underestimated. Expert local knowledge and help is essential if you are to make the most of your trip. A private tour offers extremely good value. You will enjoy the flexibility and freedom to simply stop when and where you like, and control the pace of your trip.
Give us a call, so we can informally talk about your plans, what your interests are and what you hope to get out of your trip. We will liaise with our overseas colleagues to ensure that we offer you sound and relevant advice.
Alternatively, complete and submit the Tailormade Tour Quotation Request form. We aim to get back to you within 2 working days with details of options and costs.
