Authentic Adventures Photography holidays have gone from strength to strength thanks to our wonderful tutors and some very special locations.

This year they are excited to offer four new fabulous photographic locations to add to their photography holidays in Morocco, India, Iceland, Tuscany, and the Greek island of Santorini. They have a new photography trip to Venice and an exciting new dual centre adventure planned for the vibrant and distinctive Caribbean island of Cuba.

The locations
Their photographers enjoy working with the light bouncing off the sea on the Greek island of Santorini, while Morocco and India offer exotic locations, inspiring landscapes and cultural contrasts. In addition to the hilltop towns of Tuscany, they have a new photography city break to Venice focusing on the contrast of moonlight reflections on water by night as well as day time sights. They are returning to Iceland, this time to explore a new region in the north.

Their photography tutors are award winning photographers with the expertise to share their tips and teach their techniques and skills.

The itineraries blend large landscapes with close up detail. They use air-conditioned transport to take us to their locations and adventures. Excursions and meals are taken together as a group but all activities are optional and their hotels are ideal places to relax and review your digital photographs.

People come on Authentic Adventures painting holidays for a relaxed and enjoyable artistic adventure, and many return year after year to seek out new subjects and new locations. Last year they painted in two new settings: Idyllic Santorini and the beautiful island of Gozo, in addition to returning to their roots in Subbetica, Spain.

For 2012 they have selected two new destinations including the Caribbean Island of Cuba, and Aracena, Spain.

Their tutors
All their tutors are professional painters, working in a range of media. More importantly they are friendly, patient and encouraging in helping you develop your techniques, whatever your level of experience. They are totally committed, teaching for 6-8 hours per day with free time in the afternoons, although you may take as many breaks as you wish.

With a range of locations available in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, you’re bound to find inspiration on one of their trips.

Their Philosophy:
BAOBAB Travel is a fully ATOL bonded, independent travel company founded to promote responsible tourism and alternative forms of travel in Africa that benefit local communities economically and is sensitive to local cultures and the natural environment. The company is owner managed with both directors still very much involved in the day-to-day operation of the business. With their combined knowledge of the African tourism industry, and a passion for responsible travel and sustainable tourism, they have established and built partnerships with local tour operators and establishments, who share their sustainable tourism philosophy and passion.

BAOBAB holidays are designed to show you the real places, nature and culture in Africa avoiding resorts that have been ‘manufactured’ for tourists. They introduce you to local people, their cultures and traditions, and combine places that are off the beaten track with more iconic destinations. The result is a travel experience that is unique, varied, exhilarating, relaxing and fulfilling and which leaves you with a completely clear conscience.

Tailor-made Travel Service:
BAOBAB Travel is a specialist Africa tour operator, providing a flexible, tailor-made travel service. Every itinerary is developed specifically for the individual client, to suit your specific needs in terms of the duration of your trip, the dates, accommodation, activities and destinations, and budget (as far as possible). This requires some careful communication between you and one of their travel consultants, but they like to get your holiday itinerary spot on.

Their travel consultants are all well travelled and can provide you with expert travel advice and tips. They endeavour to visit all the destinations and lodges in their portfolio, so they can talk from personal experience and give you their view on the suitability of a place for either e.g. a honeymoon or a family holiday.

Fair Trade Tourism:
Baobab Travel recently had four South Africa travel packages Fair Trade Tourism certified and we are immensely proud of this achievement, as they are the first tour operator in the UK to provide a portfolio of trips that have been given the stamp of approval by Fair Trade in Tourism South Africa (FTTSA). They now proudly display the official Fair Trade Tourism mark, which is endorsed by Fairtrade International (FLO), Transfair Germany, and South African Tourism.
