Africa
Three times the size of North America, Africa holds within its vastness a staggering range of landscapes, abundant and varied wildlife, a myriad of cultures and civilizations, and the most significant hominid sites on earth. We present a number of ways to enjoy the array of the continent's attractions: privately chartered ships, vintage propliners, and tented safari camps among them.
|  | | Back to Africa with Lex Hes: Safari to Namibia, Botswana, ZambiaDeparts: March 9, 2010 Join expert naturalist Lex Hes on our luxury African safari through Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia. Witness the incredible variety of landscapes, wildlife, and birds, while staying at some of Africa's most remote camps. Begin in Namibia where we search for desert elephants in Damaraland, visit with members of the nomadic Himba tribe, and witness huge concentrations of wildlife in Etosha National Park. The exquisite Mombo Camp is our base for explorations of Botswana's Okavango Delta. Our last stop at South Luangwa National Park in Zambia is famous for its healthy leopard population. | |  | | Uganda: Primate ParadiseDeparts: March 27, 2010 and April 10, 2010 Join Uganda expert Jonathan Rossouw on this comprehensive African wildlife safari through Uganda. The numerous species of primates are the star attraction and only in Uganda can travelers witness and photograph, at close range, troops of chimpanzees, red and white colobus monkeys, and mangabeys. An expedition highlight is our two days of trekking to find Uganda's iconic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. While the focus is on Uganda's primates, our expedition has been designed to showcase many of Uganda's natural wonders, from the unusual looking shoebill to vast pools of hippos and crocodiles on the banks of the Nile. | |  | | Ultimate BotswanaDeparts: August 24, 2010 Botswana epitomizes the African wildlife safari experience, its plains filled with animals, its habitats so vast and varied, and the lodges and camps set unobtrusively close to the wilderness. Our Ultimate Botswana safari continues to be one of our most sought after Eco-Expeditions in part because of our exceptional naturalist guide and photographer, Lex Hes, who shares his wealth of knowledge in a personalized small group setting. This luxury safari offers such outstanding wildlife-sighting opportunities, you'll return home with a collection of photos from the most diverse experience imaginable. | |  | | Zambia: Africa's Best Kept SecretDeparts: October 13, 2010 and October 30, 2010 Zambia offers an impressive variety of habitats as well as large concentrations of wildlife in some of the most remote game areas on the African continent. Discover this diversity in the company of Lex Hes, expert African wildlife guide and published nature photographer. Our expedition spans the spectacular landscapes of Kafue, South Luangwa, and Lower Zambezi National Parks—some of the best-kept secrets in Africa—where we look for predators such as leopard and wild dog to Thornicroft’s giraffe and Cookson’s wildebeest, species that occur nowhere else in the world. Bird life is also particularly prolific, with 740 bird species. |
