Discover Venice and La Biennale (September 2015)
Have you dreamed of Venice? Do the Canals and Waterways of this romantic Italian City call to you? Then perhaps we may have something to spark your interest.
We have a traveller looking to attend the Venice Biennale this September (2015) and is looking to share the cost of a hotel for the week, and a companion who is as passionate about art as she is. So if you don’t mind sharing with a fit single lady in her mid 50’s with a passion for art and a desire to encounter Italy please give us a call!
2016 and 2017 What to Expect!
For those that attended My Travel Expo, you already have an idea of what is coming up with the Group Departures for My Travel Expert and Shoalhaven Solo Sisters in the next 24 Months and beyond! On the Expo night we officially unveiled all of our Extended 2016 Group Tour Programmes, including three we had kept secret until the evening itself.
In January 2016, we are headed off to Egypt to encounter everything from the Pyramids at Giza to the Mighty Nile and onwards to Abu Simebl. In February 2016, we are doing another of our introductory tours, this time to Singapore the crossroads where east meets west. In April 2016, we board the Carnival Legend and Cruise to Tasmania. In May or June 2016, we jouney to the USA to discover the sounds of the South from Country to Rock and Roll, from Dixie to Jazz and Blues, including a Mississippi Cruise on a traditional paddlesteamer. In June 2016, we head off to Kenya and Tanzania to experience some of the worlds most incredible wildlife in some of the most incredible locations from the Masai Mara to the Serengeti. In August 2016, we return to Europe to wake in more of their incredible waterways this time journeying the Rhine and the Rhone. In September 2016, we are headed off to encounter the most remakable destination of Morocco as we journey from Casablanca to Marakech.

Still Available In 2015
Sometimes, and I am sure you agree, it seems like we are always talking about whats next, and that the dates are getting further and further out. While this is great for those of you who would like to pre-plan your trip to Egypt, or Africa, we would like to point out that we do still have a number of departures for 2015 that can take more travellers or have some availability left.
September 2015: European River Cruise – while the earlybird and fly free deals have ended the cruise-tour from Prague to Paris still has a few cabins available for allocation, so if you ever wanted to journey the scenic Danube in great company this may be your chance. I suggest that you get in touch as soon as possible if you wish to go!
October 2015: We have finalised dates for our Kangaroo Island Escape, a fantastic trip from Sydney to South Australia taking in Kangaroo Island Adelaide and the Barossa .. you can read about it in full here!
November 2015: In November we have another one of our introductory tours available – a perfect mix of free time combined with touring in an often neglected destination, join us as we explore Bangkok and Chiang Mai! More details can be found here on our website!
December 2015: We are also still looking for starters for our Christmas Markets tour, this is a uniquely charming and special time to visit Germany and would love to hear from more of you about going!
So as you can see there is plenty to still attend or travel on in 2015 – if any are of interest please let us know!
My African Experience
It’s here! Our latest upcoming group departure! And this time its something really special! Africa
We are doing an amazing trip in June 2016 to Kenya and Tanzania, taking in the best of the national parks including Amboseli, Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro to name just a few. There will be the possibility of viewing the “Big 5” (those being Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo) as well as other varied wildlife, and we will be using a mix of hotels, farmstays, permanant tented camps and seasonal tented camps. This trip is a fantastic way to get a taste of Africa and the wildlife that the region is so well known for!
For the current Itinerary and pricing please look at the full itinerary here!
Accessibility: It should be noted that this trip is fairly easy going, so if you were hesitating to think of Africa due to mobility issues, then think again, unless you are wheelchair bound there won’t be many problems – and even for the wheelchair bound traveller there are options available.
Accommodation: For the accommodation the properties being used are all very reasonable and have been chosen for comfort as much as location, and from what you can see in the below images the permanent tented camps are equal to many four and five star hotels and the seasonal camps are still amazingly well equipped – even coming with their own toilets.
So if you think you hear Africa calling, why not give us a call to register your name for this incredible journey!
