Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1-2 Tunis

Set the senses on fire with a journey to the medina of Tunis, before strolling through the lively souqs to bargain for souvenirs. Head to Carthage, a World Heritage site where ancient monuments including the Antonine baths, a Roman amphitheatre and the Punic ports are...

Day 3 Kairouan

Better understand this bubbly slice of Africa with a visit to the Bardo Museum, where archaeological finds reign supreme. Leave the city behind and proceed to the archaeological site of Dougga, arguably the best Roman ruins in Africa. Walk among incredibly well-preser...

Day 4-5 Tozeur

Travel to the oasis town of Tozeur and catch some shade beneath one of the 200,000 palm trees popping out of this unique desert landscape.

Day 6 Matmata

It can be very hot in the middle of the desert (surprise, surprise!) so head to Matmata where troglodytes - underground houses - are built to protect the Berber locals from the heat. The moon-like landscape is totally surreal, and has been used as a set in Starwars and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Day 7-8 Sousse

Today we travel to Sousse, Tunisia’s 3rd largest city. On the way we stop at El Jem to take in the World Heritage listed amphitheatre, a structure that dates from 238 AD and is the second largest of its kind in the world after the Colosseum in Rome.

Day 9-10 Tunis

Charge the camera batteries and prepare to be wowed by the incredible Roman amphitheatre in El-Jem. Dating back to AD238, this sight staged gladiator shows, chariot races and was even used in scenes of Monty Python’s The Life of Brian. On the drive back to Tunis, take one last glance at the epic surrounding scenery, then enjoy a final group meal of merguez sausage, fragrant couscous and spicy Ojja stew.

It’s been more than 36 years since our first small group set out to discover Nepal. It’s this heritage and our reputation that keeps travellers coming back time and time again.

We appeal to the well-travelled, discerning traveller. The one who chooses value over price, and wants to immerse themselves in a place instead of just ticking landmarks off a bucket list. The type of person who would rather stay in a family run B&B built in a 16th century Venetian convent than a forgettable hotel. We’re for travellers who want inclusions along the way instead of fiddling around for loose change.

Almost 20 years ago, Peregrine led an industry revolution by solely employing locally born leaders. This innovative approach gives our travellers a deeper insight into the countries they visit. Doorways are opened and a true understanding of the place is fostered.

At Peregrine, we travel in intimate groups and take the time to get under the skin of a destination. Of course we all want to see the Taj Mahal in India. But imagine then heading to a remote Rajasthani village and learning about rural life while in the company of locals. Seeing the famous sites is a must, but it’s often the memory of wandering through a small village or sharing dinner with a local family that will leave a lasting impact.

We promise to share our knowledge and expertise with you, and ensure you will come home with stories you will tell for years to come.

Why we love this operator
Since their founding in 1977 by trekkers exploring Nepal, they’ve maintained a strong connection to local culture and the “traveler spirit”.
What they’re known for
Immersive experiences that prioritize value, authenticity and adventure over luxury touches for older travelers.

If you have credit card insurance your group leader will require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and credit card details.

Additional Information
Style descriptions ‘Comfort travel’ means encountering all that the real world has to offer, but with an added degree of, well… comfort. We use more private transport, the travel pace more relaxed, the accommodation a touch nicer. And by paying a little more up front, you’ll be treated to more included meals, more leader-led activities and get a greater immersion in all things local.Finish point Hotel El Mouradi Gammarth Côtes de Carthage La Marsa Tunis BP 597-2070 TUNISIA Phone: +216 71 27 43 00 Fax: +216 71 27 42 00
