Set Departure Holidays
Although widely regarded as specialists in bespoke holidays, Tim Best Travel has an established list of set departures departing on fixed dates throughout the year.
This is often a great way to travel if you are a single person and looking to join a group of fellow like minded travellers, or perhaps if you are a couple wishing to experience a luxury mobile safari or a flying safari in Africa but are finding a tailor made safari out of your budget.
Many of the set departure trips run with no more than 8 people, keeping it small, fun and friendly and often provides a more cost effective way of seeing a country. These are simply a sample of some of the set departures we can arrange for you, however please do ask us if there is a specific country you are interested in exploring and we can see if there is a set departure that you can join.
