Travel Is About More Than Places. It’s About People
Travel isn’t just about breathtaking landscapes or iconic landmarks; it’s equally about the people you meet and the stories you share along the way. That’s where small group tours truly shine. They strike the perfect balance between shared adventures and personal discoveries. At Our Local Tour, we’re passionate about creating journeys that connect travellers with authentic, meaningful local experiences. Our carefully designed small group tours take you to some of the most fascinating destinations across the globe. From exciting new trips in Oman, Bangladesh, and Albania to unforgettable journeys through West Africa, Uganda, and Botswana, there’s something for every curious traveller.
Why Choose Small Group Tours?
Small group travel isn’t just about fewer faces, it’s about deeper connections. With groups averaging 8 to 12 people, you enjoy all the benefits of organised travel. Expert guides, seamless logistics, and stress-free planning, while keeping the intimacy and flexibility of independent exploration. Smaller groups open doors to unique opportunities, like visiting a local artisan in Ghana or hiking hidden trails in Albania that larger tours often miss.
Travelling in a small group also reduces your environmental and cultural footprint, aligning perfectly with sustainable travel principles. At Our Local Tour, we’re committed to making a positive impact, supporting community-based tourism initiatives and following eco-friendly practices in destinations like Botswana’s wildlife reserves.
Exciting New Destinations: Oman, Bangladesh, and Albania
Our newly launched tours visit Oman, Bangladesh, and Albania, and reflect our dedication to offering fresh, authentic travel experiences.
Oman is a land of contrasts, where dramatic deserts meet lush oases and historic cities. Imagine watching the sun set over the dunes of Wahiba Sands or exploring ancient forts and bustling souks in Nizwa. Oman’s commitment to preserving its heritage and natural beauty ensures every moment feels genuine and untouched.
Bangladesh is perfect for travellers seeking adventure and cultural depth. Our tours go beyond Dhaka’s lively streets to the serene Sundarbans mangrove forests, home to the elusive Bengal tiger, and the tranquil tea estates of Srimangal. Engaging with local communities—such as learning about vibrant tribal cultures in the Chittagong Hill Tracts—adds layers of meaning to your journey.
Albania, nestled in the Balkans, offers a captivating mix of history, culture, and natural splendour. From the ancient ruins of Butrint to the stunning Albanian Riviera, our tours showcase the country’s rich heritage and breathtaking landscapes. Add warm hospitality and delicious cuisine, and Albania becomes a destination that delights at every turn.
Adventures in West Africa
For those drawn to vibrant cultures and living traditions, West Africa is a treasure trove. Our tours in Ghana, Benin, and Togo immerse you in the region’s rich heritage, featuring visits to Ashanti communities, voodoo festivals, and historical sites linked to the transatlantic slave trade. A journey through West Africa is more than a trip, it’s an exploration of resilience, creativity, and cultural pride.
Wildlife Wonders in Uganda and Botswana
Nature enthusiasts will find endless inspiration in Uganda and Botswana, where our small-group wildlife adventures offer unforgettable encounters. Meeting the majestic mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a life-changing experience. Safaris in Queen Elizabeth National Park reveal elephants, lions, and even rare tree-climbing lions, while a visit to the source of the Nile blends nature with history. There are a range of small group Uganda tours that show you the best of the country.
Botswana’s pristine Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park showcase African wildlife at its finest. Smaller groups mean quieter, more intimate viewing, whether gliding through the delta’s waterways or watching herds of elephants at Chobe. Botswana’s dedication to low-impact tourism ensures these incredible local experiences remain sustainable for generations to come. On our Botswana safari holidays, you are really getting into the wild.
