Sri Lanka: The Wild Highland Odyssey

Here’s an extraordinary adventure for those who enjoy exploration without sacrificing comfort.

The Namibia Skeleton Coast 100km Expedition with Tribal Tracks offers a rare opportunity to cross one of the most remote landscapes on Earth. Fewer than 700 people have ever completed this route, and only 160 permits are issued each year. We have secured places for just 16 trekkers for the journey taking place 19–27 February 2027.

Over five days, you will trek between 18–22km a day across towering dunes and along the wild Atlantic shoreline, carrying only a light daypack while your luggage is transported ahead. Expect immense silence, vast horizons and wildlife including jackals, seals, oryx and, if you’re fortunate, the elusive brown hyena.

Each day ends at a beautifully prepared Tribal Tracks camp, complete with hot showers, chemical toilets and exceptional food prepared by camp chefs — think traditional braais beneath enormous desert skies and cool boxes stocked with ice-cold drinks.

This is wilderness without discomfort.
Adventure without compromise.

£3,795 per person (excluding flights)
Deadline to join: 15 May 2026

An optional spa retreat can be added at the end of the trek before returning to the UK.

Places are strictly limited — contact us or follow the web link in this post for further details. Link in bio

Luxury e-Biking Retreat | Norway
📍 3–8 June 2026

A remarkable six-day cycling journey through some of Norway’s most breathtaking landscapes.

This carefully curated retreat combines guided e-bike rides with dramatic fjord scenery and exceptional places to stay. Iconic routes include the spectacular Atlantic Ocean Road and the unforgettable approach to the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, with every detail handled so the focus can remain on the experience itself.

Along the way, stay in a series of distinctive hotels — from the atmospheric island fishing village of Håholmen, reached by private boat, to the elegant waterfront setting of Brosundet in Ålesund, the historic grandeur of Hotel Union Øye, and the intimate luxury of Blåtind Boutique Hotel.

Days are spent cycling through extraordinary scenery, while evenings are unhurried — time for Nordic cuisine, sauna by the fjord, long sunsets, and quiet moments to absorb the landscape.

This is Norway experienced at the right pace: immersive, restorative, and unforgettable.

From £2,950 per person
Includes premium e-bikes, accommodation, guided rides, ferry crossings and full trip logistics.
