Event & Trip Historiography

Spencer Scott Travel Services started creating and operating bespoke events and holidays in 1988 for small private parties through our affiliation with a range of organisations including Born Free Foundation, BBC Wildlife, The Artists Publication Company, the FT & Daily Telegraph. Our programmes continue to evolve and most are hosted on an exclusive basis with world-renown experts including Simon King, Chris Packham, Claudio Sillero, Virginia McKenna & Ken Howard. Increasingly our wildlife programmes are joint venture safaris with progressive charities including Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme, Painted Dog Conservation & Born Free and actively support their research and conservation initiatives.

The lists that follow chronologically chart the destinations and hosts we have worked with.

Our specialist programmes include

Safaris, Painting Holidays, Lowland Treks & Mountain Peaks, Anniversaries & Celebrations, International Opera & Music, Photographic journeys, World Wines, World Heritage Sites, Gardens of the World and Wilderness Trail Riding.
