Tanzania
October 31 to November 11, 2025
Experience the thrill of Tanzania’s wilderness, where explorers like David Livingstone once ventured. Discover savannahs, forests, and rivers teeming with iconic wildlife in one of nature's greatest spectacles. Witness herds of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope pursued by predators, while giraffes and elephants find brief respite. Visit national parks and reserves focused on conservation, and explore the history of early humans on Tanzania’s fertile plains, uncovering its rich cultural heritage.
Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands
June 18 to 29, 2026
For a thrilling cultural and wildlife adventure, set off to the captivating Galapagos Islands! Begin with 6 days on the mainland discovering UNESCO World Heritage marvels in Quito, snow-capped mountains and fantastic shopping in Otavalo, and learn about the fascinating initiatives of the Andean Bear project in Hacienda Zuleta. Then board your vessel for a 4-night cruise aboard the Coral II, to experience close encounters with animals found nowhere else on earth. Feel the wind as you navigate in an open panga, moving between the boat and each island, where your hikes will be accompanied by knowledgeable guides eager to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for this world treasure.
