Trip at a Glance

Guarantee your 2009 price with our Good Buy Plan
Just Announced: Save up to $1000 per couple on select Jan-Jun departures when you reserve by 10/1/08. Applies to new bookings only. Prices shown reflect savings.

The spray of mighty Victoria Falls caresses your face ... a small child welcomes you to her village in Namibia ... elephants trumpet in Hwange National Park ... you and your travel mates exchange stories around a fire under a star-filled African sky. In the morning, you wake to the birdsong in a nearby acacia tree—and begin another day of the safari of your dreams. And because Botswana's government is committed to preserving the environment, limiting the number of visitors to its parks, the land remains wonderfully unspoiled. Unlike safaris visiting East Africa, we'll encounter far fewer people during this safari adventure. We call this our "ultimate" safari—because it's the ultimate in exclusivity and in value. While on safari, experience small lodges (just 8-10 rooms) and tented camps ... game drives and guided safari walks with our sharp-eyed Trip Leaders and driver-guides ... village visits ... included meals ... even complimentary laundry service. From the majestic Okavango Delta to world-famous Chobe National Park, big game to local cultures—this safari has it all.
