Join us for an epic 23-day private jet expedition to experience eight unique adventures in eight of the world’s most exciting and hard-to-reach destinations in Africa, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and the Middle East.
Come face-to-face with the mysterious Sphinx and enjoy a private visit of the Pyramids in Egypt. Encounter, up-close, the animals of classic safari lore, including Rwanda’s mountain gorillas and the “Big Five” in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve of South Africa. Immerse yourself in the underwater splendor of the Maldives, where manta rays and other fascinating marine life abound. Ride on a gentle Asian elephant through Thailand’s Golden Triangle region, a lush land of tea hills and bamboo jungles. Explore the peaceful Buddhist culture of the Kingdom of Bhutan, nestled deep in the Himalaya. Gaze up at the brilliant night sky from a luxury tented camp in the heart of India’s Thar Desert. And step back in time into one of the wonders of the world, Jordan’s lost city of Petra, to behold the architectural genius of the ancient Nabataean people.
Fly from one destination to the next aboard a specially outfitted Boeing 757 private jet—configured to generously seat only 78 travelers in complete comfort and style. We are sharing this program with members of the American Museum of Natural History and National Geographic Expeditions. Leading the series of lectures and daily discussions will be a talented team of experts from these and other renowned educational organizations. Travel worry-free with a professional expedition staff and flight crew, including a dedicated physician and a private chef. And as each day’s adventure draws to a close, unwind in the world’s finest and most unique accommodations in spectacular settings.
