If you would like to spend your 2013 holidays doing something a little bit different, a multi-destination escorted tour might be just the holiday you are looking for.

Combing a thrill seeking adventure with a indulgent beach break, a luxury escorted tour really does offer ‘the best of both worlds’, and as you have a professional guide on hand to take care of all the travel arrangements, luggage, and hotel check-in procedures, the only thing you have to do is turn up, and enjoy!

There are many different options available to those looking for a multi-destination holiday, and here we share our top two journeys to give you some inspiration:

South Africa & Mauritius

South Africa and Mauritius go together like strawberries and cream!  South Africa offers the excitement of a luxury tented Safari where one can witness the Big 5 (Lion, elephant, water buffalo, leopard, rhino) during a game drive, cool cosmopolitan cities such as Cape Town offering endless shopping and dining locations, and magnificent Winelands.

The Island of Mauritius is just a short flight from South Africa, and after an action packed week in SA, one can relax, unwind, and enjoy the beautiful white sandy beaches, and warm turquoise waters of this Indian Ocean paradise.

With 5-star ultra luxury hotels dotted along the coastline, Mauritius is the perfect place to end your multi-destination escorted tour.

Kilimanjaro & Zanzibar

While both of these destinations reside in the East African Country of Tanzania, they offer two very different holiday experiences!  Climbing Kilimanjaro is a dream for many, and a small group escorted tour to the top of this impressive 5895m peak is ideal for those looking for adventure!

Once you have completed your mission to the top of Africa’s highest mountain, a relaxing beach break on the tropical island of spice, will help sooth those muscles and rejuvenate the body.

A short one-hour flight will transport you from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar, where you can enjoy the fine dining and Spa facilities available at your luxury 5-Star All-Inclusive hotel.

This holiday of a lifetime includes all the adventure one could possibly wish for, and the added luxury beach break makes this a winning combination.

There are so many wonderful countries and places to visit on our planet, and if you want to cram as much as possible into your holiday leave, why not take a multi-destination escorted tour, and enjoy a little bit of everything!
