TAILOR-MADE TRAVEL

BESPOKE JOURNEYS

No two travellers are the same and no two Ultimate holidays are either.

We don’t deal in off-the-shelf itineraries or plug-and-play trips. Everything we create is entirely bespoke, built from scratch by someone who knows the country inside out, often because they’ve lived there themselves. Our tailor-made travel experts don’t just sell a destination, they understand it and they know which experiences will (and won’t) suit the kind of traveller you are.

We personally inspect the places we recommend. Many don’t make the cut. So when we suggest a hotel or guide, it’s because we know it offers the kind of authenticity, comfort and character our travellers expect.

From your very first conversation to the day you fly home, you’ll have a dedicated expert on hand, fine-tuning every detail, answering every question and quietly ensuring things go exactly to plan. Our sample itineraries across our website are simply a springboard. Your journey will be yours alone.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“A TRUSTED CHOICE EVERY TIME”
From start to finish, everything is handled with care and attention, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. As a solo traveller, I appreciate the consistency- while there is a supplement, the quality of accommodation is never compromised. The escorted tours suit me perfectly, with excellent hotels, knowledgeable guides and the flexibility to opt in or out of the daily programme. With a relaxed pace and time to properly enjoy each destination, it all adds up to a far better experience. While they may be a little more than some group holidays, the smaller, friendly groups and overall quality make it well worth it.

“ZIMBABWE & MALAWI – A SEAMLESS SAFARI ADVENTURE”
From start to finish, the service was efficient, personal and incredibly well organised. Our itinerary, spanning five locations across Zimbabwe and Malawi, was expertly put together and ran exactly as planned. A truly memorable trip.
