Travel with a blend of adventure and comfort

At Undiscovered Destinations we have worked hard to source the best accommodation, transport and services available. We believe that travel, even in countries where tourism is a new concept, can be a rewarding journey of discovery and adventure. Travelling with us you can look forward to a comfortable hotel, with en-suite room, running hot water and a welcoming restaurant/bar. On the majority of tours we have included breakfast and lunch, allowing clients the opportunity of doing their own thing in the evening. In our experience adventure travellers are independently minded and enjoy this freedom.

We believe that all travellers, whatever their experience, will appreciate our high standards at the end of a long and challenging day, and the freedom of not being restricted to eating with the group.

Of course there can be occasions when we have no alternative but to use more rustic accommodation, sometimes with intermittent supplies of running water and electricity. These tend to be rare and any slight discomfort will be outweighed by the spectacular, natural surroundings and opportunity to meet local people, who are totally untouched by tourism.

Most of our tours are hotel based although, on a few itineraries, we have included some camping, which includes all food and soft drinks prepared by our excellent cooks.We only use the very best equipment locally available. For example in Sudan we use a permanent camp, set at the foot of the stunning Meroe pyramids, complete with en-suite showers. In Angola and Congo our camping equipment also includes showers.

To help you choose the perfect adventure we have given each of our tours a trip rating.

Pioneer - Taking you there first

Pioneer is a term often over used in the travel industry. At Undiscovered Destinations, when we describe a trip as pioneering we mean it. Almost certainly you will be amongst an elite group of intrepid travellers to be the first to explore a country, few have discovered. You will not find our Pioneer tours in other brochures. They are unique journeys that add a whole new meaning to getting off the beaten track. If like us you are driven by a desire to discover a truly hidden corner of the world, then you may like to join us and explore Angola, a spectacular land, now recovering from nearly 30 years of civil war.

Alternatively travel down the Congo River by dug out canoe, meeting remote pygmy people as you go, or join us in Eritrea and explore the remote Denkalia by 4WD.

Of course, reaching such remote areas of the world can come with its challenges; several nights camping, long journeys by 4WD and the need to maintain a degree of flexibility for when carefully laid plans change. Whatever the local conditions most importantly you will be more than rewarded with an opportunity to explore an untouched country and meet friendly local people who have no idea of the concept of tourism. At Undiscovered Destinations we believe the country should be pioneering not the fact you may need to forego some of your normal comforts.

Traveller - Our road of discovery

Still with an underlying spirit of adventure our Traveller itineraries are at the core of our programme. These journeys will appeal to those travellers who still want to discover a land, totally untouched by tourism, but expect the minimum standards we all enjoy. Look forward to good quality hotels, private transport and knowledgeable local staff on a varied range of unique and exciting tours. Any camping will be kept to a minimum and can even be substituted for a hotel stay. Similarly any trekking or other activities are always optional. Our aim is to be as flexible as possible, but still maintaining the ethos of adventure travel.

Hidden Luxury - discovery for the discerning traveller

A new and exciting addition to the programme and one that has already proved to be a popular choice with our well-travelled, yet discerning clients. Available now in Eritrea, Bangladesh, Mozambique and Myanmar ( Burma), we can offer you the best facilities meeting the highest international standards. As a taster our superb Luxury Week in Eritrea itinerary is based on a stay at the fabulous Albergo Italia, the country's first boutique hotel. Originally opened in 1899 as the Keren Hotel, the Albergo Italia is probably the oldest hotel in Asmara.

The hotel re-opened in the second half of 2005, after a thorough renovation to restore its original grandeur. The present owner hired an Italian architect and imported handmade inlaid-wood furniture from Italy. The dining room is exquisite: soft greens and yellows set off the rich woods, with Asmara's astonishing light slanting in through the wooden window slats.

All rooms reflect an astonishing attention to detail. The bar, with its beautiful marble floor is the meeting place in Asmara, or alternatively, enjoy Asmara's pleasant year round climate with a drink on the hotel's outdoor terrace.

A superb choice for any visitor, which makes for a truly luxurious base in probably the most charming city on the African continent and one which today represents perhaps the most concentrated and intact assemblage of Art Deco Modernist architecture anywhere in the world.

For the ultimate luxury experience and available on all of our tours, why not enquire about flight upgrades, or suite options at our hotels.
