Boutique Accommodations

Our accommodations, often at distinctive, one-of-a-kind lodgings, are chosen to enhance your immersion experience. Because we're traveling in a small group, we can bypass typical tourist hotels. Instead, we'll opt for high-quality, well-located lodgings at the best value available. Enjoy deluxe campsite accommodations in the Sahara desert, marvel at the old-world charm of castles in the Irish countryside and glimpse the Big Five in safari lodge camps. Our regional staff has hand-picked accommodations whose atmosphere and decor reflect the rich traditions of your destination.
