Private Groups
Our groups department can offer the vast majority of the featured holiday itineraries in our brochures and on the website as private group departures, and in many cases, there is flexibility on the dates to fit in with your travel plans. We usually require a minimum of 6 to constitute a private group and everything that is included in the normal package price will be included: flights (if required), accommodation, transfers and the services of leaders and local staff. Our Group Sales Department would be happy to meet with your group to discuss any aspect of your proposed trip. Group organisers have found this very useful as we can answer all your questions in one evening and will happily do a presentation on your destination. Our group sales staff have led and travelled with Exodus in over 40 countries so offer an in-depth knowledge.
We currently arrange group holidays for a number of organisations and social clubs; charities, friends and families, walking clubs or military groups, and are dedicated to working with the group leader or charity representative in providing you with the highest possible standard of service.
Below is a quote from a client who recently travelled
on 'Walking in Andalucia' with their private group.
'We are back having had a fantastic week at Cortijo Rosario.
Can't speak too highly of Guy, our Leader, and Bill and Anne, and the facilities and the well-planned and staged walks in the surroundings.
I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of taking a special group there. It was especially suitable for any special groups who have some less energetic members/partners. Shorter walks supported by the bus could be arranged, or you could stay back at the Finca and have a lovely time reading, swimming, sun-bathing etc, overlooking glorious quiet countryside.'
Michael Bond, October 2008

Before getting into the 'World of Adventure Travel' I was a professional archaeologist working freelance in the Middle East namely Beirut, Israel, Syria and the United Arab Emirates and then I headed back to the relative safety of South London and have been at Exodus for the last 8 years. I have been fortunate to lead Exodus trips climbing Kilimanjaro 4 times in the last 5 years on our Christmas departure and this also allows me to pursue my other passion which is wildlife and photography. It does not get much better than sitting in the Serengeti on Christmas Day and taking a game drive to the airport before heading to the spice Island of Zanzibar for some well earned R & R. As well as climbing Kili, I have trekked in Nepal and the Alps with the Mont Blanc circuit being one of my all time favourite European walks. When not trekking I have been known to jump on a bike and cycle across Jordan and Morocco.

Having tired of running a City wine bar (long hours with yuppies quaffing too much bubbly, no doubt on expenses) I ran away to do a season skiing in the French Alps. Armed with a pocketful of cash I then backpacked for a year starting in Mexico, then heading through Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Brazil. I came out (not literally, I've got twins on the way) the other side in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia amongst others. Back home and broke - Exodus were foolish enough to take me on in Sales and its been a wonderful (and quick) 8 years. My fave type of trips are cycling and wildlife encounters, highlights being Cycling in Nicaragua and South Africa,gorilla watching in Uganda and the migration in the Mara. I also have the privelege of taking our loyal band of travel agents on tour… next up - Iceland in September!

Like most, I fell into the travel industry when I left University and decided it was time to get a "proper job" and so, joined a crew of six on a luxury hotel barge in the Burgundy region of France - best to ease into these things gently! Since then, my 13 years in travel has taken me to all ends of the globe - Egypt, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Africa, Canada & the Americas and more recently, whilst at Exodus, to the Polar regions of Spitzbergen and Antarctica.
Ballooning over the Valley of the Kings at sunrise ; drinking sundowners in a 4 x 4 with a cheetah tail hanging down between me and the person next to me; sitting in a zodiac metres away from a male Polar bear, are just a handful of the amazing experiences I have had. I have been working in Exodus' Special Groups and Polar department for just over three years and really enjoy working with like-minded people, who share my passion for travel.
