Style of Travel
Undiscovered Destinations Ltd has worked hard to source the best accommodations, transport and services available. They believe that travel, even in countries where tourism is a new concept, can be a rewarding journey of discovery and adventure.

Most of their tours are hotel based, with breakfast and lunch included, although on a few itineraries, they have included some camping, which includes all meals prepared by their excellent cooks. To help you choose the perfect adventure, they have given each of the tours a trip classification.

Pioneer – Taking You There First
Pioneer is a term often over used in the travel industry. At Undiscovered Destinations, when they describe a trip as pioneering, they mean it. Almost certainly you will be amongst an elite group of intrepid travellers to be the first to explore a country, few have discovered. You will not find their Pioneer tours in other brochures. They are unique journeys that add a whole new meaning to getting off the beaten track. If you're like them, you are driven by a desire to discover a truly hidden corner of the world, then you may like to explore Angola, a spectacular land, now recovering from nearly 30 years of civil war. Alternatively, travel down the Congo River by dug out canoe, meeting remote pygmy people as you go, or join Undiscovered Destinations in Eritrea and the explore the remote Denkalia by 4WD.

Of course, reaching such remote areas of the world can come with its challenges; several nights camping, long journeys by 4WD and the need to maintain a degree of flexibility for when carefully laid plans change. Whatever the local conditions most importantly you will be more than rewarded with an opportunity to explore an untouched country and meet friendly local people who have no idea of the concept of tourism. At Undiscovered Destinations, they believe the country should be pioneering not the fact you may need to forego some of your normal comforts.

Traveler – Your Road of Discovery
Still with an underlying spirit of adventure, Traveller itineraries are at the core of the program. These journeys will appeal to those travellers who still want to discover a land, totally untouched by tourism, but expect the minimum standards everyone enjoys. Look forward to good quality hotels, private transport and knowledgeable local staff on a varied range of unique and exciting tours. Any camping will be kept to a minimum and can even be substituted for a hotel stay. Similarly, any trekking or other activities are always optional. The aim is to be as flexible as possible, while still maintaining the ethos of adventure travel.

Hidden Luxury – Discovery for the Discerning Traveller
A new and exciting addition to the program and one that has already proved to be a popular choice with well-travelled, yet discerning clients. Available in many destinations, Undiscovered Destinations can offer you the best facilities, meeting the highest international standards. As a taster, the superb Luxury Week in Eritrea itinerary is based on a stay at the fabulous Albergo Italia, the country’s first boutique hotel. Originally opened in 1899 as the Keren Hotel, the Albergo Italia is probably the oldest hotel in Asmara. The hotel re-opened in 2005, after a thorough renovation to restore its original grandeur.

For the ultimate luxury experience and available on all tours, why not enquire about flight upgrades, or suite options at hotels.
