How to make your perfect exotic holiday escape – to somewhere you never imagined going
Visiting unfamiliar locations, such as Cuba, Rwanda, Israel and Ecuador for a getaway with a difference is perfectly possible – and easy – with a little expert, insider know-how
There are many far-flung destinations and travel moments that are so unique, enticing and – well – otherworldly that it can feel impossible to imagine ever experiencing them yourself.
How do you even get to Easter Island, located hundreds of miles off the coast of mainland Chile for example?
How do you find yourself sipping sundowners while submerged in Botswana’s Okavango Delta? And just how easy is it to snowshoe across lava fields in search of Iceland’s elusive Northern Lights?
The answer is that venturing to more exotic locations is perfectly possible and easy with a little insider know-how.
“The problem with less common destinations is that often, the information available to us can be unreliable,” says Nico Heath, co-founder of luxury tour operator, Lightfoot Travel, which creates bespoke travel itineraries for guests.
“To really enjoy and maximise your time on an exotic trip, it pays to enlist the help of experts who can provide suggestions you can trust alongside a whole host of tailored tips.”
Armed with a schedule that’s totally created to suit your needs, including personal drivers and guides, accommodation and loads of fresh ideas, travelling to unfamiliar territory can be easy and stress-free.
