Luxury holiday packages,
itemised properly.

Flights and hotels are the easy part. The inclusions that separate a genuine luxury package from a repackaged group tour are: a private vehicle and licensed chauffeur-guide for the entire trip, all entrance fees and national park permits, private jeeps rather than shared, breakfast daily plus most dinners, airport meet-and-greet, and a named planner reachable 24 hours a day while you are away.

Visas, insurance, lunches, alcohol, spa treatments, tips, and premium extras like seaplane or helicopter transfers. None of that is unreasonable — the test is whether the exclusions are listed in the quote or discovered afterwards.

A package is a route someone else designed, priced at volume. Tailor-made begins with your dates, pace, budget and interests. At the luxury end the price gap has largely closed, because the hotels and vehicles are the same either way — what changes is whether the itinerary fits you or you fit it.

We treat our packages as starting shapes. See tailor made holidays for how the design process works and bespoke travel for the fully open version.

Land-only, two sharing, luxury level. 7 nights £2,000–£3,600. 10 nights £2,600–£4,800. 14 nights £3,600–£6,400. Ultra-luxury 10 nights £6,500–£12,000. Return economy flights from London £700–£1,100; premium economy adds £500–£900.

Our shaped routes are on the tour packages page and the full library at itineraries.

All-inclusive means something different above five stars — it usually covers premium spirits, in-villa dining and excursions rather than buffet volume. Where it works and where it doesn't is covered on all inclusive luxury holidays.

Is the vehicle private for the whole trip, or shared on some days? Is the guide licensed and dedicated, or a driver with a phone? Are park permits and jeeps included? What is the deposit, the balance date and the cancellation schedule? And how is the money protected — see our protection page for how we answer that one.
