The Ultimate Travel Company Information

The Ultimate Travel Company was established with the aim of sharing first-hand experiences and knowledge, so that each and every person explores a country in a way that ticks all the boxes, for them. We understand that someone who likes wildlife might also revel in the quiet life on a secluded beach? If you are a back-through-time traveller you might also appreciate modern luxury. We have over 30 years experience of organising worldwide travel and we have over 40 Destination Specialists who have all been there and done it, so that we can justifiably claim that we never recommend something we haven’t actually experienced. Our directors have also been on quite a journey. They have worked in the world-wide travel and hotel industry all their lives. Nick Van Gruisen was a professional guide in Botswana and Southern Africa. Martin Thompson managed leading hotels in Kenya. Rowan Paterson organised wildlife trips and treks through the Himalayas. Back in England they created The Ultimate Travel Company - a specialised, privately-owned travel company with far-reaching expertise and a personal touch. Which means our directors now journey into the office on a day-to-day basis, bringing their dedication and inspiration with them.
