Botswana Wildlife Safari

10-Day Accommodated Safari Tour – Departs Maun 22 March 2025 – Max 12 participants

We travel to Botswana during the green season, when the land transforms from a dry winter landscape into a vibrant lush wonderland. Salt pans become shimmering wetlands teeming with waterbirds, and offspring born in November and December will be young and playful. We stay in traditional safari accommodation (tented camps and lodges), nestled in Botswana’s remote reserves to ensure an authentic safari experience.

Bhutan – The Last Shangri-La

14-Day Accommodated Tour – Departs Bangkok 27 April 2025 – Max 12 participants

Bhutan is a fiercely independent Himalayan kingdom offering exquisite scenery, rich traditions and pristine environments. Home to snow leopards, blue sheep, red pandas, Asian elephants and tigers, Bhutan’s environment is rigorously protected, and mass tourism is avoided to preserve the unique natural heritage and precious wildlife. This country is also one of the last strongholds of Tibetan Buddhism, and a visit to the magnificent Taktsang Monastery (the Tiger’s Nest) near Paro is a highlight of the tour.
