Emma Sanger-Horwell
Biography
With over 25 years’ experience in the travel industry, Emma is currently one of the ten highest qualified cruise consultants in the country and has been certified a Master by the Cruise Lines International Association. She’s also just as comfortable below the waves, counting the Maldives and Malta’s Blue Lagoon as just two of her favourite dive sites. Then, back on land, her travels have taken her to six of the seven continents, having visited over 70 different countries. Ask her about everything from Chile’s Nazca Lines and Peru’s Machu Picchu to African safaris – a continent close to her heart. A true animal lover, Emma counts Kruger National Park as one of her most favourite and humbling experiences. She’s also travelled extensively in Asia, getting married on Thailand’s Koh Samui and falling in love with Cambodia, its people and history. She has her sights now firmly focused on getting to that seventh continent, Antarctica.
Specialist destinations
A pulsating continent full of colour and contrasts and ripe for exploration. Africa contains some of the world's greatest wildlife areas and richest cultures. Headliners like Botswana, South Africa and Tanzania vie for your attention with gems such as Madagascar and Mozambique. Which will you pick?
Such is the size of Asia that it almost defies description. Whether you explore the hi-tech cities and ancient regions of China and Japan, journey across the central steppe or immerse yourself in the culturally rich South East regions, you'll be amazed by the cultural diversity at every turn.
Australasia's two main countries, Australia and New Zealand, offer the traveller a wide range of holiday options and experiences. And, further east, the islands of Fiji, French Polynesia and the South Pacific are as close to perfection as it gets.
The Caribbean is a wonderfully mixed bag that offsets clichéd visions of seductive white sands and turquoise seas with dramatic, forested landscapes. Relax into the rhythm of the island life and explore the distinct history and cultures of this idyllic region.
A rich heritage and outstanding landscapes compete for your attention during holidays in Europe. With more countries than Asia crammed into a relatively compact space, for tailor made holidays Europe is unmatched.
