​When exploring new and exciting worldwide destinations, there are many advantages to travelling as part of a smaller tour group. There is a more intimate and sociable atmosphere, and it is much easier for smaller groups to meet local people in more informal settings and to experience rewarding off-the-beaten-track destinations and activities that would be impractical for large tour groups. With this in mind Titan has developed its small group tours in Uganda, Ethiopia, Burma and South Africa, combining exceptional value for money and unforgettable experiences.
 
Titan’s new 12-day ‘Great Apes of Uganda’ itinerary offers an unbeatable collection of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. In small groups of a maximum of 16 travellers per departure, this escorted tour takes in everything from the open savannah to rainforest, dense papyrus swamps and crater lakes, to the vast Lake Edward, offering the chance to experience game drives, nature walks and boat rides to search for the countless mammals, reptiles, birds and butterflies that reside in this amazing country. The truly unforgettable highlight, however, are the hikes to observe chimpanzees and a powerful troop of magnificent mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Prices start from £3,749 per person based on 5 December 2017 departure, including scheduled Ethiopian Airlines flights via Addis Ababa, 9 nights in hotels and 2 in flight, 25 meals, gorilla and chimpanzee trekking permits, 12 excursions and visits, the services of an experienced local Titan tour manager and Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service.
 
Also new for 2017 is the incredible 13-day ‘Scenic and Cultural Treasures of Ethiopia’ escorted tour. Tourism in Ethiopia is still in its infancy, and when creating this itinerary Titan were keen to ensure groups sized were small (limited to just 16), ensuring travellers get a genuine and immersive experience of this intriguing country. From the sublime beauty of the Blue Nile and Simien Mountains, home to the ‘bleeding heart monkey’, to the fascinating culture and welcoming people, this tour will be an unforgettable adventure. Prices start from £2,999 per person based on 9 February 2017 departure, including scheduled Ethiopian Airlines direct flights, 11 nights in hotels and 1 in flight, 33 meals, 10 excursions and visits, the services of an experienced local Titan tour manager and Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service.
 
Designed specifically for Titan’s range of small group tours, the stunning 15-day ‘South African Safari Adventure’ itinerary makes the most of the tailored experiences small group travel has to offer, such as walking safaris and a visit to the fascinating UNESCO Word Heritage Site of Mapungubwe. South Africa’s northern reserves, occupied in many cases by the ‘Big Five’, form the basis of this exceptional tour. With many meals included and accommodation in top class lodges, concluding with a 3-night stay in a luxurious safari lodge. Prices start from £3,049 per person based on 28 June 2017 departure, including scheduled South African Airways or British Airways direct flights, 12 nights in hotel/lodge and 2 in flight, 35 meals, 21 excursions and visits including 13 game drives, the services of an experienced local Titan tour manager and Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service.
 
As an emerging nation with a less well developed infrastructure, Burma offers superb value for money, and Titan’s new 12-day ‘Essential Burma’ itinerary provides a wonderful chance to explore this fascinating country with a small group and at an incredible price. As part of Titan’s ‘essential’ range, which maintains the strength and assurance of a traditional Titan tour but focuses more on the key highlights of a country or region, this stunning tour begins in the former capital, Yangon. The city is filled with glittering Buddhist temples and evocative architectural reminders of the days of the Raj. The tour continues to view picture-postcard monasteries adorned with colourful murals, carvings and golden Buddhas and rural villages seemingly unchanged by time. Prices start from £1,999 per person based on 8 May 2017 departure, including scheduled Emirates flights via Dubai, 9 nights in hotels and 2 in flight, 21 meals, 13 excursions and visits, and the services of an experienced local Titan tour manager.
