Safari in Africa or India?

Emma Wright

Safari in Africa or India? Africa is a gut feel. Primal, instinctive and grounded, it comes at you with force and looks you straight in the eye. India fills the heart. Lyrical, mysterious and spiritual it seduces with gestures, moments, joy and duality.

Romantic India
Denise Hummel

Whether you're planning a romantic honeymoon, or celebratory luxury family holiday of a lifetime, India has so much to offer. Denise Hummel experiences the most lavish hotels and incredible palaces and is treated like royalty in this land of grand contrasts.

As Denise progresses from Delhi to Agra, and then explores the royal cities of Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur, she discovers that the almost excessive luxury and outstanding service of the hospitality industry in India is crucial to the economy, so that the luxury traveller can relax and enjoy the splendour with a clear conscience, knowing that they are providing vital jobs and a sustainable income to those who need them.

Travel with a conscience.
