Just when you think this amazing country couldn’t get any prettier, you stumble across a small village that takes your breath away. The name of this […]
Written by Peregrine Travel Centre Team Member Adriana. Everyone has different opinions and preferences when it comes to taking a holiday. There’s no right or wrong way to see the world, and each experience is unique. I’ve been lucky enough to do two group tours in the last 6 years. My first was a 17 […]

One of the best parts about travelling is getting the opportunity to taste delicious local food along the way. A lot of different cultures celebrate special occasions by cooking traditional meals and sharing them with family and friends. This Easter, we looked at a selection of traditional Easter treats around the world. Our mouths are […]
The words ‘African safari’ conjure up images of trumpeting elephants, impalas mid-leap and open-topped four-wheel drives hurtling down dusty roads. Heading into the wilds on a guided safari is one of the most exciting and memorable experiences a traveller can have. That first sight of a giraffe emerging from the bushes or a pride of […]

Russia has always been a mysterious travel destination. Not everyone knows what to expect and what they should be including on their itineraries. We sat down and spoke with Bryce Crampton, General Manager Sales & Marketing for Beyond Travel. Bryce was in Adelaide to talk to some Peregrine Travel Centre guests about travel in Russia […]
How many people have spent countless hours in between flights just waiting for their next plane? Living in Australia, we know all too well the pain of that trip to or from Europe and the United States where you often have many hours in transit between those epic 12 hour flights. After being in a […]

Original blog post featured on The Journal by Intrepid Travel. Soon, store shelves will be brimming with kissing teddy bears, heart-shaped chocolate boxes and other novelty marketing gimmicks designed to make single people weep. Yes, Valentine’s Day is here again. But although February 14 has become synonymous with Hallmark in many parts of the world, not every culture […]
The daily itinerary on a big cruise ship, while fun (in a kid-in-a-candy-store kind of way) is pretty monotonous. Breakfast buffet, lie down, have a snack, fight for a deck chair by the pool, lie down, lunch, a matinee performance at the on-ship cinema, snack, lie down, dinner, repeat. Occasionally there’ll be a shore excursion, […]
The beautiful landscapes, ancient ruins and dramatic culture of South America are enough to make anyone want to visit this amazing continent.

Lauren has recently returned from Italy, where she did the 10 day Peregrine Secrets of Italy tour as part of her trip. From the canals of Venice to the historic streets of Rome, Italy is constantly familiar and endlessly surprising. This trip visits the top-tier sights – Venice’s bridges, Pisa’s Leaning Tower and Rome’s Colosseum – and […]
Travelling alone doesn’t mean you have to travel alone. One of the best ways I’ve found to explore a country, during my two years of solo travel, is to join a tour group. Travelling solo in a group means you still get to feel like a wild adventurer exploring the world (because you are) but you’ve […]
There’s just something about sloths. From their sweet, smiling faces to their laissez faire way of life – the world just can’t get enough of them. Heck, even Ellen DeGeneres has had them on her show. For the sloths that aren’t starring in YouTube videos or Facebook posts, you can find them in the tropical forests of […]
It’s hit the news, the twitter feeds and the facebook pages. Heads are down and phones are up .

JULY 2016 | WORDS BY ELLENA JOHNSTONE FROM INSIDER JOURNEYS NOW IS THE TIME TO EXPLORE MYANMAR. From temple-strewn plains to golden stupas, floating gardens to colonial gems, Myanmar has so much to see and experience. Yet there is no denying the country is changing, and our advice is simple – it’s time to go. […]
India has a reputation as one of the most beautiful and, frankly, bizarre countries on the planet. But it’s also got a reputation, rightly or wrongly, as a slightly dangerous place for women to travel alone. Now we’ve never had any problems on our group tours in India (our guides know all the areas to […]
