Norfolk based Briggate Travel launches bespoke journeys that don't cost the earth.

When launching the innovative new tour operator Briggate Travel founders Robin Russell-Pavier and Robert Courtney had a simple ethos, knowledge, sustainability and a desire to go beyond the ordinary. They appeal to experienced travellers with a sense of adventure looking for luxury of experience. Adventure comes in many ways from walking safaris, nature treks, and wildlife interaction to exploring the Cape by vintage sidecar.

Their expertise comes not only from a lifelong passion for travel but also through working in senior roles in the travel industry. What makes Briggate Travel so special is Robin and Robert’s in-depth firsthand familiarity with the destinations they specialise in.

Their knowledge of Africa’s tourism, including its many game reserves is extensive. Think driving a vintage Land Rover on your Kenya safari, glamping under the stars or a road trip through South Africa, Namibia or taking in the magic of Botswana’s unique desert and delta combination, together with exciting walking safaris in Zimbabwe and Zambia.

The pair intuitively feel Japan’s special appeal and gentle charms. They show the land beyond the cherry blossom. Who could not be excited by the culture, flora, fauna, and birds of exotic Papua New Guinea? Add to this their' no-one-size-fits-all’ philosophy and a very personal approach to working with each client to craft a bespoke journey.

Solo Travellers are an important group in Briggate Travel’s remit, with safari destinations, such as Zambia offering lodges that offer single supplement waivers for solo travellers.

Families seeking a soft-adventure holiday are introduced to family-friendly lodges and safaris in malaria-free areas such as Madikwe, South Africa, or KwaZulu-Natal. Plus, South Africa glamping holidays are ideal for families.

Robin and Robert also realise that you don’t have to forgo air travel entirely to be a more ecominded traveller. There have been considerable developments in the commercial aviation industry that will only continue to advance. Airlines are now switching to more sustainable fuels, investing in electric jet research, or offering carbon offsets, which all adds up to a greener future for aviation.

Briggate Travel is careful to only work with partners who put back into their local communities; this might encompass women and children's education, health, infrastructure, maintenance, food and water suppliers. The pair are currently working on setting up a profit-based fund to contribute towards existing projects.

Briggate Travel is fully bonded with ATOL and ABTOT ensuring client's peace of mind and their low overheads ensure savings which are passed directly on to the client.

Welcome to Luxury of Experience – your adventure, your way.
