Before you leave, you will work closely with one of our experts to design an absolutely perfect itinerary that includes compelling, well-planned travel and the very best accommodations.
Our professional team continuously travels the world in order to remain up-to-date on the latest activities, leading luxury hotels/lodges, and high-end tour operators, so you may rest assured our advice and recommendations are trustworthy.

Flexible private VIP holidays allow you the advantage of chance encounters and serendipitous moments. You can easily follow new interests as your knowledge of a destination grows and develops.

Our experts understand comfort is key, we include deluxe and the finest first class travel and accommodation in all our itineraries. The properties we select offer the sort of quiet seclusion and understated luxury which make returning to them each day so pleasurable. Even if you don’t leave the lodge, you’re such a welcome person indeed! We know relaxation is an important component of your visit. Whether you want a small luxury bed and breakfast or a chic downtown hotel, we have a recommendation to suit your preferences.
As a matter of course, we do not publish prices for these private V.I.P guided tours as they can vary enormously for tailor-made travel. There are a number of factors which will influence the price of your travel arrangements: these include the standard of hotel (we offer a variety of premium to the super-luxurious), the season, the duration of your trip, the level of private guiding and the complexity of the itinerary. Our specialists will be delighted to discuss the various options in more detail with you.
Discretion is our second name; many people have travelled with us who are within the public eye. You can rest assure that Angling Direct Holidays will keep all of your travel arrangements private to you and in no way will your holiday be discussed or used to promote our services.
