Country Guide: A to Z

Despite our name, “VentureCo Worldwide”, we specialise in sub-Sahara Africa, South America and Asia. We are familiar with round-the-world itineraries, but our “home patches” are sub-Sahara Africa, South America and Asia.

VentureCo’s attitude to “luxury” and “the best” is a little unconventional: we don’t rely on reputation and what the brochures claim, but rather on up-to-date, personal experience. As often as not a destination has a new property, managed by a couple who are hungry to enhance their reputation and this is often a better option than going for the established name, which sometimes trades off its reputation. The advantage that VentureCo has is that we have groups and individuals travelling all around the world, all the time, which means the grapevine works rather well for us. We use this first-hand feedback, combined with personal experience, to enhance your itinerary.

The greatest pleasure for a tour operator is to be asked to put together a holiday that requires the best: the best lodges & hotels; the best transport; the best guide and most important of all, the best "flow" to the itinerary: an itinerary that requires original thought and imagination. An itinerary that is as good as it can be and that you are delighted with, after you return!
