Which style is right for you???

Basix

The best value journeys on the planet! On a Basix trip you can expect amazing experiences, but none of the inclusions that you may not want.

Which means budget (1-2 star) accommodation, plenty of free time, activities that are optional and the freedom to choose meals to suit your budget. On some trips you may be camping and required to set up your own tent. You’ll also have access to a group leader to offer advice and help you uncover the region’s hidden gems. On a Basix journey, the way you travel is all a part of the adventure. Depending on the destination and the itinerary, you could find yourself travelling on anything from a donkey to a bus or a private safari vehicle. These trips are ideal for first-time travellers seeking fun and independence with the support of a group leader. They’re also ideal for independent travellers looking to make the most of their travel time with minimum hassle and maximum experiences.

Original

Original trips are classic Intrepid adventures. With a mix of included activities and free time, they offer plenty of opportunities…

to explore at your own pace and take part in activities that really get beneath the skin of a destination. While the occasional meal may be included, you’ll have the freedom to seek out your own culinary adventures. Accommodation is generally budget or tourist class (2-3 star), but you’re as likely to find yourself as a guest of a local family as staying in a hotel or camping. Transport will vary as well. Depending on the destination and the itinerary you could find yourself travelling on anything from a camel to a train or a private safari vehicle. It’s all a part of the adventure! Original travellers have a desire to make the most of their travel time and really get to know a place, its people and cultures.

Comfort

Comfort is your style of travel if you want the whole grassroots experience with more inclusions, meals and creature comforts.

While accommodation is predominantly tourist class (3-4 star), on some itineraries there is the opportunity to stay with a local family, spend the night on a train or camp out in exotic places (without putting up your own tent of course). Along the way, you’ll really experience the destination up close. You’ll mingle with locals, enjoy a taste of their way of life and gain special insights from your leader. This is not luxury travel, but real world experiences – just with a softer landing!
