Safari, cultural journeys, adventure travel and expedition cruising
Carry On Exploring
Some of the most rewarding travel does not fit neatly into a category. A safari in Botswana, a journey through Japan, a trek to Machu Picchu, an expedition cruise to Antarctica — these are trips that require more planning, more specialist knowledge and more careful matching of traveller to destination. Richard has arranged all of these and will help you work out what is realistic, what is worth the cost and what to expect.
Start planningWhat Richard arranges
Every kind of exploration
Safari & Wildlife
East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda), Southern Africa (Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia) and the Galápagos Islands. Richard arranges safaris that go beyond the standard circuit — private conservancies, specialist guides and camps that put you in the heart of the wilderness rather than on the edge of it. He will advise on the best time of year for the wildlife you want to see.
Cultural Journeys
Japan, India, Peru, Morocco, Jordan, Cambodia, Vietnam. Travel that immerses you in history, architecture, food and local life. Richard builds itineraries that give you time to absorb a place rather than rush through it — with the right mix of guided visits, free time and accommodation that reflects the character of where you are.
Adventure & Active Travel
From trekking in Nepal and cycling in Vietnam to kayaking in Patagonia and walking in Iceland, explore destinations at a more active pace. Richard helps you choose an operator and itinerary suited to your interests, experience and fitness, with clear guidance on the activities and level of challenge involved.
Expedition Cruising
Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos, Patagonia and the Norwegian fjords in winter. Small ships, expert guides and destinations that most people never reach. Richard works with the specialist expedition cruise lines — Hurtigruten, Quark, Lindblad, Ponant — and will advise on the right ship and itinerary for your interests.
