"I don’t normally write reviews but…"

I don’t normally write reviews but after the most amazing 10 day family holiday in Tanzania I felt compelled to do so. This trip was booked with Travel Nation as holiday of a lifetime before our girls start out on their careers and it didn’t fail to disappoint. It’s certainty not a cheap holiday but well worth every single penny. It was a first class experience from beginning to end. Our private guide for the week, Fred, was delightful, highly experienced, informative, entertaining, spotted the wildlife before anyone else, tailored the trip to meet all our needs and nothing was ever too much trouble. Unlike many of the other travel companies we looked at, all the luxury lodges we stayed in catered for small groups. Each had their own personality, the wow factor and made us feel very special indeed. The Tanzanian people were incredibly welcoming, the service was seamless, the food endless and very good and the overall experience was something we’ll never forget. We saw far more wildlife than we ever expected, herds of elephants crossing the road in front of us, 16 lions feasting on the latest kill and the very noisy wilderbeast migration crossing the Mara River!! Travel Nation were very informative and had had first hand experience of all the places we were visiting. When we missed our connection home due to a burst tyre the team at Travel Nation went above and beyond our expectations to ensure that everything was taken care of. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. Huge thank you to all at Travel Nation especially Grainne, Jonny, Scott and Jim for everything you did for us and we’ll be in touch very soon to book the next trip. Lisa, Mark, Sophie, Amy and Gemma.

"Great for multi-flight bookings"

Jim and the travel nation team were an incredible help with booking my flights. I had 7 flights in total over a 6 month period which they helped find the cheapest options for. I received regular updates when my flight times changed with advice attached and a detailed itinerary and document to help explain all the requirements and procedures for each country I went to. They were always quick to respond and found myself and my partner a great deal on all of our flights. 100% would recommend.

"They planned our dream trip perfectly!"

Olly was nothing short of fantastic in helping to plan and execute our dream trip around french polynesia. He worked with us to find out what was important to us and suggested some islands we wouldn't have thought of, and they turned out to be incredible. The whole experience of being able to log onto the travel nation portal to view the trip and itinerary was great to really work through the finer details. Once in French Polynesia the arrangements couldn't have been smoother, someone was waiting at every airport and all transfers and excursions were without issue. We 100% will book with Olly and travel nation again and have already recommended to friends planning big trips!

"Honeymoon to French Polynesia "

I spent ages looking around for someone to help plan my Honeymoon to French Polynesia. After many unrealistic quotes I finally came across Travel Nation in Brighton. It was perfect for me as I work in Hove and I was delighted to find someone that was local. I was immediately put in touch with Olly who was incredible right from the start.
I told him what I wanted from the holiday and where I wanted to visit and he came up with the perfect itinerary that was even below our budget. We have never been ones to stay in 5* hotels (although I`m sure you could if you want), and the places we stayed couldnt have been more like us.
We booked about 13 months before the trip, it was seamless and so easy to do.
Olly sent me the itinerary to look through before we committed and it was just perfect for us, like he knew us personally when booking everything.
We have recently just returned and I could not fault anything at all. It was honestly the BEST holiday we have ever been on and perfect in every way. The islands we visited, Moorea, Huahine, Tahaa, Bora Bora and Tahiti were all amazing in their own way and the excursions that were booked for us by Olly were just incredibly perfect.
I know I am going on about how perfect it was, but I could not praise this company enough. From the communication to the flights, accommodation, food, people and destinations were just so PERFECT.
Thank you Olly for creating our dream honeymoon and making our dreams of visiting French Polynesia come true.

"Trip of a Lifetime …"

Just back from an amazing retirement trip organised by Jim😁👍. Only contacted Travel Nation late February to put together an itinerary for us.
The itinerary and flights worked great and Jim's suggestions of hotels were spot on.
We had 6nts in Vancouver/Vancouver Island the hotels in both locations were perfect for our needs with us
knowing it was going to be busy - we had harbour views both times and
made sitting having coffee on the
balcony so relaxing.
We then headed down to French Polynesia with Moorea being our first stop for 3nts - it was all we could have wished for- small friendly hotel Cooks Bay Suites right on the beach with a lovely restaurant ate there twice and breakfast was very adequate for being continental.
Next stop for 4nts Bora Bora - Maitai Polynesia maybe a bit more older style but again perfect for our needs good choice for breakfast which fitted in well with the 3 excursions booked.
As you land at Bora Bora Airport it just takes your breath away oh to be back🌞😎.
Had one night in Tahiti on our return in the Kon Tiki wished we had an extra night room was so modern and lovely.
Our last stop was at the Hyatt Regency LA Airport after a discussion with Jim - we enjoyed the pool the morning before our evening departure home.
Have already been in discussion with Jim regarding our next adventure.
If you have not used Travel Nation before I could not fault the service we received.
Thank you again Jim

"What a fantastic holiday in Tanzania"

What a fantastic holiday in Tanzania! This was our first ever safari, and having no previous experience to go on, we were totally dependant on the experts advice. Johnny Goodall from Travel Nation turned out to be the ideal man for the job! He was friendly, efficient, and helpful, and tailored a safari to include all the things he thought we might like, and then organised everything perfectly from start to finish. Every little detail was covered, and the whole holiday went smoothly, without a hitch, from start to finish. What an amazing experience, and what an excellent travel company! Thank you so much from Paul, Liz, Kevin and Deborah.

"Brilliant travel company!"

I have just returned from a six month trip of a lifetime around the world. Jim at Travel Nation was unbelievably helpful both in the long months of planning my trip and during my time away as I made last minute changes to my plans as I travelled. He always found great deals on flights and came up with excellent suggestions for hotels and adventure tour companies ( my two Intrepid trips in Africa and Costa Rica were amazing!!) Always responsive, professional and helpful, I highly recommend Travel Nation and Jim to anyone planning a trip!

"Highly recommend"

Jonny and the team at TravelNation were exceptional in planning our dream honeymoon to Tanzania. From start to finish, they provided invaluable advice and made the entire booking process seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail and expertise ensured that every aspect of our trip was perfectly tailored to us. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience, and highly recommend their services for anyone looking to plan an unforgettable getaway.

"The Galápagos Islands 2024"

The Galápagos Islands are a world within themselves. The landscapes and above all the animals are scarcely believable. So tame and so completely different to anywhere else. A nature lovers paradise.

The Archipel-1 was a fantastic boat. The staff were friendly and the food fantastic. Our guide was fantastic too. 14 other guests allows a full itinerary of exploration and twice daily snorkling. We highly recommend the Western islands tour… but there is so much to see we need to go back again!

A land base on Santa Cruz and San Christobal allowed more extensive trips and relaxation. The hotels we stayed at were mid range - comfortable but not luxurious. Perfect for us. We’d highly recommend the tours to Bartolome and Kicker Rock and the cycling tour on San Christobal. With more time Española and its albatrosses or Floreana would have been interesting options too. If you scuba dive, there are even more ideas!

It’s an indirect route to get there. It would be nice to explore more of Ecuador if time and circumstances allowed. We went via Bogotá but via Spain with Iberia might also work … maybe better.

"Once again Chris West at Travel Nation"

Once again Chris West at Travel Nation, nailed the brief!!
I wanted to take my family to Florida and visit not only the theme parks, but also see the rest of what Florida had to offer. Chris, organised a fly-drive holiday based on our budget. This allowed us to tick all the boxes we wanted as a family, plus visit places we hadn’t really considered. This included superb hotels and activities that we weren’t aware of. Chris, and the team at Travel Nation, really do take the hassle and stress away from planning a multi-location long haul holiday. I fully recommend you try for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
