DEAR T R AV E L E R After this trying year, we are so excited to be getting back out into the world. National Geographic was built on the idea that humans have an innate desire to explore and to discover new things. That desire compelled primatologist Dian Fossey to live with gorillas in the mountains of Rwanda. And it’s currently inspiring Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Salopek to travel around the world on foot—telling stories all the way—on a 21,000-mile, National Geographicsponsored Out of Eden Walk.

Fortunately, there are easier ways to cover vast distances and explore remote cultures and places. On our Private Jet expeditions, we can touch down in fascinating, far-flung destinations without the tangle of logistics and long overland journeys. We can take a cooking class in a temple in Japan, visit an archaeological dig in Uzbekistan, and enjoy a concert in Estonia—all on one incredible trip. With an entire aircraft for our exclusive use, we can maintain our high standards for health and safety everywhere we go. Best of all, we travel with National Geographic’s storytellers, scientists, and photographers—intrepid explorers who are eager to share their passion and knowledge with you.

In the following pages, you’ll find four itineraries that encompass a staggering sweep of cultures and habitats. We’ve teamed up with The Wall Street Journal to offer

The Future of Everything: Exploring Global Innovation by Private Jet, a journey that will bring us to innovation centers from Seoul to Helsinki. We’ll hear from scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs on the cutting edge—and meet with experts from National Geographic and The Wall Street Journal at every stop.

We delve into the diverse wonders of an entire continent on two unforgettable trips: on Africa by Private Jet, explore fascinating cultures and legendary wildlife from Morocco to South Africa to Rwanda and beyond. Or experience Machu Picchu, Iguaçu Falls, Patagonia, and much more on Central and South America by Private Jet. Our popular journey, Around the World by Private Jet, whisks us to iconic places from Easter Island to Angkor Wat to the Taj Mahal and beyond. On every trip, you’ll relax in a VIP-configured private jet and stay in some of the world’s top accommodations. And no matter where you travel with us, your comfort and safety are our top priority. Please refer to the next page for details on our updated health and safety protocols.

An extraordinary travel experience awaits. We hope you’ll join us.

Our health and safety protocols will consider the latest guidance and recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, international and local health agencies, and destination partners. We look forward to sharing additional details on our website as they become available.

We also are closely monitoring U.S. Department of State travel advisories and the guidance of government officials around the world so that we can nimbly respond to potential travel restrictions or policy changes in the countries we visit.

Imagine zooming in on a leopard alongside wildlife photographer and filmmaker Sandesh Kadur, a National Geographic Fellow whose documentaries have revealed the plight of endangered species.

Or consider the insights you’d gain exploring Silk Road sites with archaeologist and National Geographic magazine editor Kristin Romey, who has excavated digs in Central Asia and beyond.

The signature of these expeditions is the extraordinary team of experts that travels with us— anthropologists, wildlife biologists, geographers, and photographers who bring the places we go to life.

National Geographic opens doors around the globe. Our relationships with scientists, storytellers, museums, and active research sites allow us special access to places and people— including our own grantees, whom we meet in the field whenever we can. Traveling with us, you’ll enjoy a host of specially arranged experiences, whether it’s listening to soulful Sufi singers with a scholar in Morocco, or meeting an archaeologist in the Peru to hear firsthand about important Inca finds.

Over the past 132 years, we’ve sent our scientists, storytellers, and adventurers across continents and into remote cultures, down to the oceans’ depths and up the highest mountains in an effort to better understand our planet. National Geographic Expeditions grew from this legacy as a way to invite others to explore—to encounter the wonders of the world up close, in depth, right at the source, and to be transformed by the experience.

S U P E R I O R S E R V I C E , S E A M L E S S T R AV E L A Boeing 757 jet has been specially outfitted for these incredible expeditions.

Its long-range capabilities and capacity to land at smaller airports afford us the flexibility to fly direct and avoid layovers—which in turn gives us the freedom to make the most of our experiences on land. On our Around the World by Private Jet, Central and South America by Private Jet, and The Future of Everything: Exploring Global Innovation by Private Jet expeditions, the jet’s interior has been refitted to accommodate just 75 travelers in a spacious two-by-two seating configuration, instead of the standard 233 seats. On our Africa by Private Jet expedition, the jet is configured to accommodate 57 travelers. Each reclining, VIP-style seat is handcrafted from the finest European leather and equipped with a center console, leg rest, foldout footrest, and four-way adjustable headrest, offering supreme in-flight comfort as we travel between destinations.

E X P E D I T I O N S TA F F A N D C R E W Traveling with our National Geographic Experts is a talented expedition team—experienced travel experts who meticulously attend to logistical details and ensure your experience is truly exceptional. The flight crew is also specially selected for this trip, chosen for their dedication to safety, attention to detail, and first-rate hospitality.

EXPEDITION PHYSICIAN A physician accompanies our expedition and is on call 24 hours a day to provide or facilitate health care services.

EXPEDITION CHEF We travel with a dedicated expedition chef and caterer who design delectable meals inspired by local cuisine in the destinations we visit. They incorporate the freshest ingredients in a wide array of dishes, which are served with top-tier beverages, including fine wines, craft beers, and spirits.

T R AV E L TA I L O R E D T O YO U R I N T E R E S T S Enjoy the freedom and flexibility to tailor your trip to your interests, choosing from a variety of available excursions in each of the places we visit.

In the pages that follow, you’ll find opportunities to adapt the expedition at no additional cost. Some of these alternative options have limited space or require a minimum number of participants; reservations are on a firstcome, first-served basis. We can also arrange special experiences that are not featured in the itinerary, whether you’d like to go behind the scenes at a world-renowned museum, explore intriguing ruins off the beaten path, or set out on a challenging hike.

If you have already visited or would like to skip one of the stops along the journey, we will look into arranging your visit to an alternative destination.

A team of National Geographic Experts will accompany this trip.

Conservationist, current National Geographic Fellow, and TED Senior Fellow Steve Boyes has dedicated his life to preserving Africa’s wilderness areas and the species that depend upon them. A native of South Africa, he founded the Cape Parrot Project with support from National Geographic, and is the scientific director of the Wild Bird Trust. In 2015, Steve launched what has become the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project to promote broader protection for the Okavango Delta’s watershed and its wildlife. Steve’s work takes him all over Africa, studying wildlife rehabilitation and biodiversity, fighting the wild-caught bird trade, and planting thousands of trees in forest restoration projects.

National Geographic Explorer Elizabeth Lonsdorf began researching primates as an undergraduate student at Duke University. After a brief foray into the field of marine mammal cognition, Elizabeth earned a Ph.D. from the Jane Goodall Institute’s Center for Primate Studies at the University of Minnesota, an experience that allowed her to follow in the footsteps of renowned primatologist Jane Goodall by studying wild chimpanzees at Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park. She returns annually to Gombe, where she manages a research program focused on chimpanzee health and infant development. Elizabeth serves on the faculty of Franklin & Marshall College, and is on the board of directors for Chimp Haven, a chimpanzee sanctuary in Louisiana.

THE RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT AND OPERATOR-PARTICIPANT CONTRACT AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW (THE “AGREEMENT”) INCLUDES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION. By registering for an “Expedition” (as defined herein), the participant (“Participant”) agrees to the Agreement. In order to secure a reservation on the Expedition, the Participant must indicate his/her acceptance of the terms of the Agreement by signing the Knowing and Voluntary Execution of Responsibility Statement and Operator-Participant Contract and Terms and Conditions, and pay a deposit.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT National Geographic Expeditions (a division of National Geographic Partners, LLC and its subsidiary Global Adrenaline, LLC, located at 1880 Oak Avenue, Suite 100, Evanston, Illinois 60201) is the principal and is responsible for providing the Africa by Private Jet (“Africa”); The Future of Everything: Exploring Global Innovation by Private Jet Expeditions (“The Future of Everything”); Around the World by Private Jet (“Around the World”); and Central and South America by Private Jet (“Central and South America”) Expeditions (each an “Expedition”). All transportation carriers, hotels, ground operators, medical providers, and other suppliers of services connected with specific Expeditions (“Other Providers”) are not agents or employees of National Geographic Expeditions but are independent contractors over whom National Geographic Expeditions has no control. The Other Providers are solely responsible and liable for providing their respective services. The passenger tickets in use by the carriers will constitute the sole contract between the carriers and the Participant; the carriers are not responsible for any act, omission, or event during the time the Participant is not aboard their conveyances.

National Geographic Partners, LLC, its parent, subsidiaries (including Global Adrenaline, LLC), affiliates, and any co-branded sponsor, and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, successors, representatives, and assigns (collectively, for the purpose of this Agreement only, the “Released Parties”) will not be held liable for: (A) unless negligent, any damage to, or loss of, property, or injury to, or death of, persons occasioned directly or indirectly by an act or omission of any Other Provider, including but not limited to any defect in any aircraft, watercraft, or vehicle operated or provided by such Other Provider; (B) any loss or damage due to delay, cancellation, or disruption in any manner caused by the laws, regulations, acts or failures to act, demands, orders, or interpositions of any government or any subdivision or agent thereof, or by acts of God, strikes, fire, flood, war, rebellion, terrorism, insurrection, sickness, quarantine, epidemics, theft, or any other cause(s) beyond their control; and (C) any and all claims, actions, or losses for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, loss of services, lost profits, consequential, exemplary, indirect or punitive damages, or otherwise which may arise out of or occur during the Participant’s travel in connection with the Expedition or Participant’s travel to/from the Expedition. The Participant waives any claim against the Released Parties for any such loss, damage, injury, or death, including any right to seek consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages against the Released Parties for any reason whatsoever, except as expressly provided for herein.

National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept, decline to accept, or remove the Participant on or from an Expedition if National Geographic Expeditions judges the Participant to be incapable of meeting the rigors and requirements of participating in the Expedition (except as applicable to air transportation as provided by Part 382 of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s rules), or judges the Participant’s actions to be unsuitable for group travel. In recognition of the inherent risk of the travels and related activities in which the Participant is intending to engage, the Participant willingly and voluntarily assumes full responsibility for any injury, loss, or damage suffered by or caused by the Participant. National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right, without penalty, to make changes in the published Expedition itinerary whenever, in its judgment, conditions warrant or if it deems it necessary for the comfort, convenience, or safety of the participants.

The Released Parties will not be liable for any air carrier’s cancellation or change penalty incurred by the purchase of a nonrefundable ticket to or from the Participant’s Expedition departure city. Baggage and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the Participant.

For The Future of Everything; Around the World; and Central and South America, refunds will be processed within 14 days of receipt of the Participant’s notice of cancellation. Leaving an Expedition in progress, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in a refund, and no refunds will be made for any unused portions of an Expedition. If the Participant cancels and provides a substitute participant for the Expedition, the Participant will receive from National Geographic

Expeditions a full refund of money paid toward the price once the substitute participant has paid in full. A Participant who paid the deposit by credit card shall have a right to a full refund until this Agreement is signed.

Please note that the costs for visas, commercial air tickets, insurance, suite upgrades, and preor post-Expedition independent arrangements may not be refundable.

ITINERARY CHANGES: The Expedition itinerary and staff presented in the catalog or on the website are subject to modification and change by National Geographic Expeditions. Every reasonable effort will be made to operate the Expedition as planned, but alterations may still occur after final itineraries are sent. In addition, should unforeseen world events or conditions require the Expedition itinerary to be altered, National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to do so for the safety and best interest of the group. National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to cancel any Expedition in the event inadequate enrollment makes the Expedition economically infeasible to operate, except as provided below. In such a case, National Geographic Expeditions will provide the Participant with a full refund of the monies paid to National Geographic Expeditions for the Expedition.

For Africa: National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to cancel a trip for any reason. A full refund will be made after such cancellation.

For The Future of Everything; Around the World; and Central and South America: National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to cancel a trip for any reason, provided National Geographic Expeditions notifies you in writing within seven days after the cancellation occurs, but no later than 10 days before the scheduled departure date. A full refund will be made within 14 days after such cancellation. National Geographic Expeditions will not cancel an Expedition less than 10 days before departure, except for circumstances that make it physically impossible to perform the Expedition. If such a circumstance occurs, National Geographic Expeditions will notify you as soon as possible; and if the trip is canceled, National Geographic Expeditions will refund all monies within 14 days. If National Geographic Expeditions makes a predeparture “Major Change” to a trip, you may cancel within 7 days of notice, or up to departure, whichever is earlier, and receive a full refund within 14 days after your decision to cancel. Only the following constitute “Major Changes:” (i) a change in the departure or return date unless the change results from a flight delay experienced by the air carrier, although a date change that National Geographic Expeditions knows of more than 2 days before the scheduled flight date or a delay of longer than 48 hours will always be considered a “Major Change;” (ii) a change in the origin or destination city of each flight leg, unless the change affects only the order in which cities named in the itinerary are visited; (iii) a substitution of any hotel or alternate hotel that is not named in the itinerary; or (iv) a price increase of more than 10 percent occurring 10 or more days before departure. If a “Major Change” occurs, National Geographic Expeditions will notify you within seven days after learning of the change but at least 10 days before the scheduled departure. If National Geographic Expeditions first knows of the “Major Change” less than 10 days before departure, National Geographic Expeditions will notify you as soon as possible. If a “Major Change” which you are unwilling to accept occurs after your initial outbound flight has been completed, National Geographic Expeditions will refund, within 14 days after your scheduled return day, that portion of your payment which applies to the service not provided.

Participant’s rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, including the procedures for major changes, shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available under applicable law, provided Participant’s receipt of a refund constitutes a waiver of such additional rights and remedies.

challenges for Participants with limited mobility, stamina or endurance concerns, or other types of disabilities or special needs. For Expeditions with destinations outside the United States, any physical condition, diet, or treatment requiring special attention must be reported in writing when the reservation is made so that National Geographic Expeditions can determine whether or not reasonable accommodations are available. Walking and climbing stairs are required on most excursions, at many destinations and hotels, and to board and disembark aircraft at many airports. Boarding assistance will be provided at all U.S. airports, the first foreign airport after departure from the United States, and the last foreign airport before arrival in the United States, if applicable, as provided by Part 382 of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s rules, but other airports may not provide assistance. If the Participant cannot participate in the Expedition at a reasonable pace, or requires extra assistance, arrangements may be made for private touring at each destination, if necessary, at the discretion of our Expedition staff. Depending upon the nature of the arrangements, extra costs for such arrangements will be the responsibility of the Participant. If any Participant would like to forgo some of the scheduled sightseeing to rejuvenate and relax, he/she may feel free to do so at any time. Please call National Geographic Expeditions for further details if you require reasonable accommodation to participate on this Expedition.

PHYSICIAN APPROVAL FOR TRAVEL: National Geographic Expeditions has engaged an independent physician group to staff the Expedition with a U.S.-licensed physician (“Expedition Physician”). The Expedition Physician assists National Geographic Expeditions with determining whether an individual may be able to/ ought to participate in the Expedition, and is available to Participants to provide professional medical services during the trip. The Participant understands and agrees that Expedition Physician is not an agent or employee of National Geographic Expeditions.

As a condition of participation in the Expedition (except as applicable to air transportation as provided by Part 382 of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s rules), the Participant must obtain his/her personal physician’s approval to join this Expedition. National Geographic Expeditions will send the Participant a Physician Approval for Travel form for his/her personal physician to complete. The completed form should be submitted directly to the Expedition Physician at the address provided on the form. The Participant understands and agrees that Expedition Physician may share information from the completed form with National Geographic Expeditions. For the latest recommendations on specific health precautions for the areas visited, the Participant should consult his/ her physician and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

MEDICAL EMERGENCIES: The Participant agrees that, should the Participant (i) experience any injury or illness while participating in the Expedition and (ii) become incapacitated such that he/she is unable to direct his/her own care, then National Geographic Expeditions may, in its discretion, rely on the direction of: Participant’s travelling companion, if any; Participant’s emergency contact; an Expedition Physician; or other Expedition staff, to authorize any necessary medical treatment including, but not limited to: X-ray, examination, anesthetic, medical or surgical diagnosis, or treatment and hospital care. Such treatment is to be rendered under the general or specific supervision of a physician licensed in the United States or, if in a foreign country and no U.S.-licensed physician is reasonably available, a duly licensed physician.

In the event of any emergency, medical or otherwise, the Participant authorizes National Geographic Expeditions and the Expedition Physician to release any information necessary to obtain medical or other emergency services to any person providing such services. The information that may be released includes, without limitation, the information set forth on the Physician Approval for Travel form submitted by Participant.

NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION: Participants are responsible for obtaining any documents required for their participation in the Expedition prior to the trip, such as a valid passport, all visas, vaccination certificates, completed Physician Approval for Travel forms, and any other documents. To participate in the Expedition, visas and/or entry permits may be required for some countries. Acquiring visas and/or entry permits is the responsibility of the Participant. Failure to obtain necessary documents does not negate the Terms and Conditions, and any extra costs incurred for rerouting a Participant due to travel without the necessary document will be the Participant’s responsibility. National Geographic Expeditions will provide information on the necessary visas and/or entry permits in pre-departure documents; provided that National Geographic Expeditions does so for informational purposes only. Participant must verify the travel documents required for his/her travel. National Geographic Expeditions is not liable for any damages resulting from Participant’s reliance on advice provided by National Geographic Expeditions regarding travel document requirements.

PHOTOGRAPHY: National Geographic Expeditions reserves the right to take photographs or videos during the operation of any Expedition or part thereof and to use the resulting photography, videos, or recordings for promotional or commercial use. By making a reservation on the Expedition, the Participant agrees to allow his/her likeness to be used by the Released Parties and the Released Parties–authorized third parties without compensation to the Participant. If the Participant prefers that his/her likeness not be used, he/she must notify National Geographic Expeditions in writing prior to departure of the Expedition.

BAGGAGE: On the private jet, the Participant is limited to 90 pounds of checked baggage in two bags (one bag of the Participant’s choice limited to 50 pounds and one wheeled bag that National Geographic Expeditions will send to the Participant ahead of time for use on the Expedition limited to 40 pounds), plus a few smaller carry-on items like a backpack and/or camera. In certain countries, participants may fly on private light aircraft. Due to weight restrictions on these flights, the Participant will only be allowed one bag, provided to the Participant by National Geographic Expeditions, plus his/her carry-on luggage (including camera equipment).

For international flights, the air carrier’s liability is limited to the actual value of the baggage but not more than 1,288 Special Drawing Rights, approximately $1,777 per participant, or amounts prescribed by applicable law, whichever is less, unless a higher value is declared at the time of check in and an appropriate excess valuation charge is paid. Baggage, when not handled by National Geographic Expeditions, and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the Participant.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK: Expedition he/she is undertaking involves potentially dangerous activities, some in remote areas of the world, with a risk of illness, injury, or death which may be caused by forces of nature, illness, or by willful or criminal conduct of third parties or by terrorism. The Participant further acknowledges that weather conditions may be severe, adverse, and/or unpleasant and that medical services or facilities may not be readily available or accessible or consistent with standards in the United States during some or all of the time during which he/she is participating on the Expedition, and that when available may not be of the quality which exists in the United States.

AIRCRAFT: The private jet flights will be performed using a Boeing 757 jet with 62 VIP-style seats for Africa. The private jet flights will be performed using a Boeing 757 jet with 82 VIP-style seats for The Future of Everything; Around the World; and Central and South America. The air carrier for the Expedition will be Icelandair. National Geographic Expeditions and the air carrier reserve the right to substitute equivalent aircraft or scheduled service, if necessary. Participants who actually travel on scheduled service will receive only the protections applicable to such scheduled service. The Participant’s Expedition itinerary may include flights on smaller aircraft operated by local approved airline carriers. Seating on these aircraft will be economy or economy with limited business seats, based upon the configuration of the aircraft.

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS: The operation of these flights may be subject to additional restrictions of the foreign governments involved, including the granting of landing rights for the flights. If the air carrier cannot obtain these rights for any particular flight leg of the Expedition, that flight leg will be canceled and alternative arrangements may be made at the discretion of National Geographic Expeditions. Alternatively, the Participant may cancel his/her reservation and receive a full refund if a flight leg is cancelled prior to first departure, or a refund of the unused itinerary if a flight leg is cancelled after first departure.

COMMERCIAL AIRFARE: National Geographic Expeditions may be able to assist the Participant in reserving commercial flights from his/her home city to London, England, and from Rome, Italy, to his/her home city (Africa); from his/her home city to Seattle, WA, and from Boston, MA to his/her home city (The Future of Everything); from his/her home city to Washington, D.C., and from Washington, D.C., to his/her home city (Around the World); and from his/her home city to Washington, D.C., and from Miami, FL, to his/her home city (Central and South America), in the class of service that the Participant prefers.
