At Encounters Travel we offer a range of different types of tours... Our small group adventure tours give you the chance to travel, have fun as well and take in the culture and sights of some of the world's most exotic and exciting destinations with fellow like-minded travellers. Group sizes on most trips range from 12-20 to ensure you can hear and get to know your guide well, and make friends with your fellow travellers.
Similar in style, our shoestring tours are set at a lower budget and may use slightly lower levels and accommodation and have larger maximum group sizes. They provide a great chance to see the main highlights of a destination at a lower cost. Some are 'point to point' tours, making them work especially well for independent travellers who want to continue exploring a destination after an initial tour with us, rather than flying straight home.
In Africa we offer a selection of overland adventures which cover larger distances and sometimes multiple countries while travelling in comfortable expedition vehicles. You can choose between lower budget camping trips, and 'accommodated' tours which stay in hotels and lodges.
Families who want to take their children on an exciting and rewarding holiday can consider our specially designed family tours. Available both on set dates on which you can join other families, or as private departures just for you, these give both adult and children alike a great taste of some of the world's best destinations.
Our city break tours are what the name suggests - short stays in some of the world's most exciting cities with a balance of included touring and free time to explore independently. All can be run on any dates and customised to suit.
Finally, we also offer a wide range of private tours for people who don't want to join a group and would like our help in designing their own holiday. All our small-group, shoestring, family and city break tours can be run privately, and we also feature a further selection of sample itineraries in various countries around the world. All of these can either be booked as they are, or used as a base that our experienced travel consultants can then tweak to fit your personal requirements, interests, preferred accommodation level, and your budget.

Our tailor-made tours seek to create a personalised experience – one that is completely exclusive to you. By taking all your interests and requests into consideration, we design an itinerary that ticks off your specific boxes. If you are after adventurous exploration, cultural immersion, a relaxing escape or a balanced blend of everything, we can make it happen.
A highlight of our tailor-made tours is that the itinerary is flexible and incorporates plenty of free time - so you can do some exploring on your own. Our local, friendly guides, experts in their country’s history and culture, will be happy to adjust the activities or your schedule as you travel.
If you are a group of friends, a large family or a company, our tailor-made tours are an ideal, stress-free option. You can even select your own hotels or make use of our recommended accommodation. We have a varied selection of sample holiday itineraries to choose from, either as they stand or as a base for inspiration.
Our video features aim to bring our adventure tours to life in a way that no photo can, giving you a great taste of the destination.
From travel tips to country guides, packing lists to little known things to do, you'll find it all in our popular travel blog.
