DEAR T R AV E L E R Over the past 131 years, National Geographic’s explorers have blazed a path across the globe, venturing into the unknown to discover, study, and report on the planet’s myriad treasures. Today they continue to go further and dig deeper, developing groundbreaking tools, technologies, and research that reveal new facets of the world, whether it’s the satellite mapping of ancient Petra or the use of recycled cell phones to detect illegal poaching in remote rain forests.

Now we invite you on an extraordinary expedition by private jet, one that embodies the curiosity and passion of our explorers—and the spirit of adventure for which National Geographic is known.

In 24 days, we’ll circle the globe on a trip brimming with cultural and natural wonders: from the mysterious moai of Easter Island to the magnificent Taj Mahal, and from the wildlife-rich Serengeti Plain to the astonishing marine ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef.

The stellar group of National Geographic experts at the helm will also enhance our experience with their knowledge and insights. We’ll be joined by anthropologist, linguist, and National Geographic Fellow K. David Harrison, who co-directed the Society’s Enduring Voices Project; anthropologist, writer, and filmmaker Carroll Dunham; and Pulitzerwinning photographer Jay Dickman.

We hope you will join us for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Please call 1-888-227-7265 or reserve online at natgeoexpeditions.com/privatejet.

Along our journey, we'll delve into fascinating cultures of the past and present. We'll explore the ancient architectural marvels of Machu Picchu, Angkor, and Petra; and we'll also take part in a cooking class in Cambodia, visit a women's cooperative in Samoa, and discover India's monuments through the eyes of local youth. Through these people we meet and interact with, we'll gain a deeper understanding of the aweinspiring places we visit.

Sincerely,

Gary E. Knell Chairman National Geographic Partners

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, whose field sites we visit whenever we can.

Traveling with us, you go behind the scenes to get a close-up view of work that’s helping to illuminate and protect the world’s cultural and natural treasures, from the conservation programs of National Geographic’s Big Cats Initiative to the revival of ancient Peruvian weaving traditions by National Geographic grantee Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez.

The signature of our private jet expeditions is the extraordinary team of National Geographic experts who travel with us—biologists, archaeologists, cultural experts, geographers, and photographers who interpret what we encounter. On one of the Tanzania options, for instance, travelers have an opportunity to join National Geographic Explorer-at-Large Louise Leakey or one of her colleagues for a private tour of Tanzania’s Olduvai George, where the Leakey family made the groundbreaking discovery of Homo habilis on a National Geographic–sponsored expedition.

Later, if you wish, embark on a spectacular hike along a section of the Inca Trail. Meet master Andean weaver Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez, a National Geographic grantee who has helped preserve and revive traditional weaving practices throughout Peru. We’ll also join archaeologist and National Geographic grantee Peter Frost or one of his colleagues for a talk on his archaeological expeditions in Peru, which have been featured in National Geographic magazine.

You may opt for an early-morning visit to the former Inca stronghold of Ollantaytambo before we board our privately chartered train to Machu Picchu (8,000 feet). Accompanied by private guides, explore this legendary 15th-century Inca citadel, which was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911 and excavated with support from the National Geographic Society. Discover the site’s hillside terraces of stone temples, sanctuaries, and homes. Then enjoy an elegant dinner aboard our train as we return to Cusco.

Questions still linger about this isolated island’s ancient Polynesian society and the mysterious moai—colossal stone statues—that they left behind. Discover its ancient ruins with resident archaeologists Edmundo Edwards, Patricia Vargas Cassanova, and Claudio Cristino. If you wish, rise early for a photo shoot with our National Geographic photographer, capturing the sun as it rises over this enigmatic landscape. Explore volcanic calderas, lava fields, and windswept grasslands; and delve into the theories surrounding the stone behemoths, which archaeologists believe were carved in honor of ancestors or chiefs. Visit the stone village of Orongo, the ceremonial center of the island’s intriguing Birdman cult, which was defined by a treacherous annual competition to retrieve a rare egg. Later, enjoy a splendid performance by the Kari Kari dance troupe.

The following day, you may choose to go on a vigorous hike up to the legendary Taktsang Lhakhang, or the Tiger's Nest Temple (10,200 feet)—the most famous pilgrimage site in Bhutan. Set your sights on the monastery's whitewashed stone walls and golden rooftops as you climb high above the valley, where the monastery clings to a vertical granite cliff. Alternatively, spend the day exploring Thimphu (7,900 feet), the capital of Bhutan, known for its mix of Himalayan and Western cultures.

Settle into our stunning hotel—a National Geographic Unique Lodge nestled in the hills outside town. This architectural gem is a work of art, painstakingly constructed, carved, and painted by Bhutanese artisans over five years.

Take in gorgeous Himalaya vistas as you explore Paro's highlights, including the historic fortress and monastery of Paro Dzong, where we will have an opportunity to meet some of the monks and learn about their daily lives.

Continue by private jet to Agra and check in to our luxurious hotel, offering views of the Taj Mahal from every room. This afternoon, you may explore the sandstone Agra Fort, a maze of palaces, courtyards, mosques, and private chambers modified by Mughal rulers over hundreds of years.

Or you may choose to join local youth on a heritage walk to Agra’s lesser known monuments—part of a project to improve livelihoods in disadvantaged communities.

If you wish, join our National Geographic photographer the following morning to capture images of the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Then take a guided tour of the Taj, the most iconic site in all of India. Explore the palace’s exquisite construction and serene garden, constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife. In the afternoon, encounter the exquisite tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah—also referred to as the “baby Taj”— the first Mughal structure in India made entirely from marble. Or visit the tomb of Akbar, one of the most famous Mughal emperors, and examine this architectural marvel built of red sandstone inlaid with white marble.

Alternative: On a full-day excursion, visit the impressive red-sandstone city of Fatehpur Sikri, once a Mughal capital and now a World Heritage site.

Founded in 1569 by the Mughal emperor Akbar, this renowned site—which blends both Muslim and Hindu architectural styles—reveals a vast complex of royal homes and pavilions, elegant courtyards, and grand gateways, as well as a beautiful mosque.

One of the world’s greatest wildlife destinations, the Serengeti Plain is home to the legendary "big five"—rhinoceroses, lions, leopards, elephants, and Cape buffalo. Head out across the savanna on game drives to witness Africa’s greatest concentration of wildebeests and zebras.

During our stay, meet National Geographic Explorer-at-Large Louise Leakey or one of her colleagues to hear about the many important fossil discoveries made by the Leakey family in the region. Celebrate our visit with a traditional singing and dancing performance.

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Alternative: Instead of exploring the Serengeti, travel by private charter aircraft to the Ngorongoro Crater (8,000 feet), where volcanic slopes shelter more than 25,000 animals. Spend your days on safari with local guides, and in the evening, return to your luxury villa at a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World perched on the crater’s rim. Meet National Geographic Explorer-at-Large Louise Leakey or one of her colleagues for a private tour of Olduvai Gorge, where the Leakey family discovered Homo habilis on a National Geographic–sponsored expedition. Enjoy a bush lunch on the floor of the crater. andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Petra, the once thriving capital of the Arab tribe known as the Nabataeans, is one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites. Situated between Arabia, Egypt, and the Levant, it was an important crossroads of trade before the city was mysteriously abandoned in the seventh century. Half-built, half-carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs, Petra was left to the winds and sands until it was rediscovered in 1812. Excavations of the city continue today, and include the pioneering work of National Geographic Fellow Sarah Parcak, who has used satellite imagery and aerial drone photography to document a long-unknown structure twice the length of a tennis court and six times as wide at the site.

Enter the city along a winding path through the Siq, a narrow canyon flanked by sheer cliffs; and arrive at the Treasury, the most iconic of Petra’s sites. Discover many other intriguing buildings chiseled from rock walls. As we explore, you may encounter members of the local Bedouin community—Arabic-speaking nomadic peoples of the Middle Eastern deserts who reside here. Learn more about the traditions of this tribal society tonight, when we gather for a festive dinner accompanied by a Bedouin folklore performance.

The following day, depart Petra and drive south to Wadi Rum, an otherworldly desert landscape made famous by T. E. Lawrence and the 1962 epic film Lawrence of Arabia. Explore the desert in 4x4s, and see the intriguing rock formation known as the Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Enjoy tea with Bedouin villagers amid this stunning backdrop.

Set out on a morning tour of Marrakech, Morocco’s legendary “pearl of the South.”

Examine historic Moroccan architecture at the 14th-century Ben Youssef Madrasa, the splendid Koutoubia Mosque, and the exquisitely carved Bahia Palace. Then venture further into the labyrinthine streets of the medina—a World Heritage site lined with market stalls and craftspeople. Visit the Museum of Perfume to learn about the olfactory history of Morocco, and meet with a renowned perfume-maker to create your own scent. Alternatively, sample local Moroccan delicacies on a food tour of Djemaa el Fna square, where snake charmers, magicians, and musicians entertain passersby. Later, stroll amid exotic plants in the lush Majorelle Garden, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent.

Alternative: Instead of exploring Marrakech, venture into the Atlas Mountains— the highest mountain range in North Africa, which presents a dramatic contrast to the surrounding desert. Take in sweeping views of this enduring terrain, known for its deep gorges, dense forests, and Berber villages. Experience Berber traditions during lunch at a local home, and sip mint tea while soaking up the timeless atmosphere of rural Morocco. In the evening, rejoin the group in Marrakech for a farewell dinner celebrating our adventure.

O P E RATOR- PA RTICI PANT CONTRACT AND TER M S AN D CO N DI T I O N S INSTRUCTIONS Please read the following information carefully. By registering for an “Expedition” (as defined herein), the participant (“Participant”) agrees to the Responsibility Statement and OperatorParticipant Contract and Terms and Conditions below (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 Around the World by Private Jet Expedition as outlined in its catalog and on its website (natgeoexpeditions.com) (“Expedition”).

All transportation carriers, hotels, ground operators, 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), and their respective employees, affiliates, officers, directors, successors, representatives, and assigns (collectively “National Geographic”) 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.

The Participant waives any claim against National Geographic for any such loss, damage, injury, or death, including any right to seek consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages against National Geographic for any reason whatsoever, except as expressly provided for herein. National Geographic shall not be liable for any air carrier’s cancellation penalty incurred by the purchase of a nonrefundable ticket.

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, 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.

National Geographic will not be liable for any air carrier’s cancellation 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.

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 and 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.

Expeditions will not cancel an Expedition less than ten (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 fourteen (14) days. If National Geographic Expeditions makes a pre-departure “Major Change” to a trip, you may cancel up to twenty-four (24) hours before departure and receive a full refund within fourteen (14) days after cancellation. 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 delay of longer than forty-eight (48) hours will always be considered a “Major Change;” (ii) a change in the origin or destination city; or (iii) a price increase of more than ten (10) percent occurring ten (10) or more days before departure. If a “Major Change” occurs, National Geographic Expeditions will notify you within seven (7) days after learning of the change but at least ten (10) days before the scheduled departure. If National Geographic Expeditions first knows of the “Major Change” less than ten (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 fourteen (14) days after your scheduled return day, that portion of your payment which applies to the service not provided.

NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION: Participants are responsible for obtaining any documents required for their participation in the Expedition such as a valid passport, all visas, vaccination certificates, 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 predeparture 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.

BAGGAGE: On the private jet, the Participant is limited to 90 pounds of checked baggage in 2 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 1,131 Special Drawing Rights, approximately $1,600 per participant, 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.

AIRCRAFT: The private jet flights will be performed using a Boeing 757 jet with 82 VIP-style seats. The air carrier for the Expedition will be Icelandair, Reykjavikurflugvöllur, IS-101 Reykjavik, Iceland. 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 is subject to the foreign governments involved granting landing rights for the flight. 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.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: National Geographic Expeditions reasonably accommodates travelers with disabilities on all of its trips, but not all trips may be suitable for all travelers.

Depending upon the nature of the arrangements, extra costs for such arrangements may be the responsibility of the Participant.
