Whether trekking in the Himalaya, walking with wildlife in Africa, hiking in America's national parks or touring the cultural highlights of Vietnam, Mountain Kingdoms believes you should be able to do it in style. And they've now added two new indulgent holidays to their In Style range: a walking safari in Tanzania and a trekking holiday to the Annapurna and Everest regions of Nepal. Characterised by the best and most characterful accommodation, first-rate service and extra touches of luxury, these holidays will get you off-the-beaten-track without compromising on comfort.
Annapurna & Everest in Style
Grade: Moderate/Vigorous
Duration: 16 days from the UK, On Trek: 10 days
Flight inclusive from £3,450 Land only from £2,575
Two stunning treks amidst the breathtaking scenery of Nepal's most famous mountain ranges, staying in super-comfortable lodges.
• Trek in two spectacular regions – first the lower, more gentle, Annapurna foothills and then on to the higher, more dramatic, Everest Khumbu
• Impressive views of Himalayan giants including Annapurna 1, Machhapuchare – the 'Fishtail' peak and Everest itself
• Stay in the best trekking lodges en route and in Dwarika's 5-star heritage hotel in Kathmandu
• Excellent acclimatisation and highly experienced Sherpa trek leader
The Annapurna massif and Everest's Khumbu region are home to some of the most celebrated peaks in the world and we will explore both whilst staying in the best accommodation available. The luxury trekking lodges we use offer the highest standard of service with delicious food, en suite rooms, hot showers and delightful landscaped gardens where there are stunning views of the surrounding mountains to enjoy.
Starting in the 5-star splendour of Dwarika's hotel in Kathmandu we fly west to Pokhara to start a five-day trek through the scenic foothills of the Annapurnas. The scenery here is a mix of pretty pastoral farming land and steep terraced countryside dotted with attractive villages, all with wonderful vistas of the Annapurna range. After this easy-paced trek there is time to relax at a secluded lakeside hotel in Pokhara before returning to Kathmandu.
Next we fly to Lukla for a six-day trek into the heart of the Khumbu region. This is the home of the welcoming Sherpa people and we will visit their main village, Namche Bazaar, before trekking on to Thyangboche Monastery for majestic views of Everest. Throughout the trek we are surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery and iconic peaks providing a fitting climax to a magnificent trekking holiday.

Serengeti Walking Safari in Style, Tanzania
Grade: Gentle
Duration: 13 days from the UK; Walking/trekking: 6 days
Land Only from £4,985
Pristine landscapes, impressive wildlife and exclusive luxury camping – the best way to experience wild Africa.
• Small group trekking in an exclusive and unspoiled wilderness area of Serengeti National Park
• Walks on Mount Meru and in the hills near the Ngorongoro Crater
• Camping in style with all meals and drinks in camp included
• Game drives in Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park
• A privileged insider view into the culture of local Masai people
The highlight of this trip is a three-day trek through a pristine area of the Serengeti National park which, having been long set aside as a wilderness zone, has had little human intrusion for many years. We are one of the few companies able to offer a walking trip into this recently opened area where we will see a wide variety of wildlife that is totally undisturbed.
Before we travel to the Serengeti we will also enjoy walks on the slopes of Mount Meru and in the Ngorongoro conservation area. And, as no trip to this part of Africa would be complete without a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater, we also include that for the best of all worlds.
We stay throughout in tented accommodation but this is very much camping with a touch of luxury with large walk-in tents, comfortable beds, cosy quilts, hot showers, fluffy towels and delicious food. Truly a safari in style.
