DEAR T R AV E L E R Since 2015, conservationist and National Geographic Explorer Steve Boyes has been venturing into the remote reaches of Africa’s Okavango Delta, studying its ecosystems on an annual expedition by foot, canoe, and even off-road bike. It’s all part of the Okavango Wilderness Project, a multinational collaboration to survey the biodiversity of one of the planet’s last great wetland wildernesses and preserve it for future generations. This is just one example of National Geographic’s long-standing commitment to research and conservation on the African continent—a legacy that spans from Jane Goodall’s chimpanzee studies to the recent fossil finds of paleoanthropologist Lee Berger. With such a rich history behind us and many discoveries still ahead, I’m thrilled to present an opportunity to explore the wonders of Africa on an epic journey by private jet.

Over 19 days, we’ll journey to six African countries, taking in a spectacular array of wildlife, landscapes, and cultures. On the Serengeti Plain, search for legendary species, including the “big five,” and discuss human origins with Meave Leakey or Louise Leakey, National Geographic Explorersin-Residence whose family’s discoveries in East Africa have profoundly influenced our understanding of human evolution.

Discover a host of unique creatures in Madagascar’s national parks, including its fascinating lemurs. In South Africa, sample celebrated vintages in the Cape Winelands, or venture to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Robben Island. Then continue to

Johannesburg to visit the groundbreaking excavation site of National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Lee Berger. Soar over Namibia’s Skeleton Coast and encounter the swirling dunes of the Namib Desert, then go on safari in Botswana’s wildlife-rich Okavango Delta. Our journey culminates in Rwanda, where we’ll seek out endangered mountain gorillas and observe them in their natural habitat.

F O L LO W U S AT @ N ATG E O E X P E D I T I O N S

Enriching the experience is the team of National Geographic experts with whom we travel—passionate individuals whose knowledge stems from many years working on the continent. In addition to Steve Boyes, we’ll be joined by wildlife biologist and National Geographic Explorer Luke Dollar, who manages the Society’s Big Cats Initiative, which has funded more than 65 field-based programs worldwide, nearly two dozen of which are in southern Africa. We’ll also be joined by photographer, filmmaker, and National Geographic Explorer Sandesh Kadur, whose award-winning wildlife documentary films have appeared worldwide on National Geographic, the BBC, and elsewhere.

Continue by private jet to Johannesburg, then set out to explore the Rising Star cave site, excavated by renowned paleoanthropologist and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Lee Berger.

As a research professor in the Evolutionary Studies Institute at the University of Witwatersrand, Lee recently made fossil discoveries that have been hailed as some of the most important in contemporary history: two previously unknown species of human ancestors.

Travel by road to the Cradle of Humankind, one of the most important of South Africa’s fossil hominin sites recognized by UNESCO. In 2013, guided by a pair of local spelunkers, Lee and his team discovered more than 1,550 fossil elements buried within the Rising Star cave—a paleontological treasure trove that represents the single largest fossil hominin find yet made on the continent of Africa. The excavation and analysis of Homo naledi, as this new species of human ancestor has been named, was supported by National Geographic and featured in the October 2015 National Geographic magazine cover story. Learn about the significance of these historic finds, as well as Lee’s 2008 discovery of Australopithecus sediba, a previously unknown species of apelike creature that may have been a direct ancestor of modern humans.

Late this afternoon, board our private jet for the flight to Namibia.

Wedged between the Kalahari Desert and the southern Atlantic Ocean, Namibia’s spectacular landscapes include swirling desert dunes, deep red clay pans, and dramatic seascapes. In Walvis Bay, take a thrilling flight-seeing tour by local aircraft over the legendary Skeleton Coast. Enjoy a bird’s-eye view of one of the most unforgettable sights on Earth: the meeting of the dunes of the Namib Desert, among the highest in the world, with the roaring Atlantic surf.

Shrouded in sea mist, this vast stretch of sand north of Walvis Bay has had countless shipwrecks and whale bones wash up on its shores— haunting reminders of a long and perilous maritime history.

Choose from two desert adventure options. Journey through the ancient canyons of the Moon Valley in the Namib Desert and see the famous Welwitschia mirabilis, a rare and curious plant that is several hundred years old. With luck, we may also see animals gathering along the linear oases of desert riverbeds that crisscross the Namib.

Or travel in 4x4s through the stark landscape inhabited by fascinating creatures such as fish moths, white lady spiders, web-footed geckos, sand-diving lizards, sidewinder snakes, and more. The next morning, cruise the avian paradise of the Walvis Bay lagoon to see flamingos, penguins, and pelicans. Look to the water for bottlenose and Heaviside’s dolphins as well as Cape fur seals, which are known to cavort around boats.

One of the world’s largest inland delta systems, the Okavango Delta is a breathtaking wetland oasis in the midst of a sunbaked, arid landscape.

Because of its annual flooding schedule, the delta’s dynamic ecosystem transforms with the seasons—and its wildlife population shifts with the ever changing landscape. Venture into the delta’s floodplains and marshlands, which attract a staggering array of species, including elephants, giraffes, leopards, and buffalo. Bird enthusiasts can delight in the more than 400 species found here, from African sacred ibis to common ostriches and African fish eagles.

Rise early and set out on a morning game drive or water safari to spot elephants, wildebeests, cheetahs, hyenas, and endangered wild dogs, as well as all manner of birdlife flying through the skies overhead. Keep an eye out for lions belonging to the area’s three prides, remarkable for their unique daytime hunting tendencies and their ability to swim in the delta waterways. After the sun goes down, head back into the wilderness on a nighttime safari to discover the nocturnal creatures of the floodplains, including elusive leopards.

Our private jet takes us to Rwanda, a land of rolling green hills, majestic volcanoes, and lush, grassy lowlands. The bamboo forests of the Virunga volcanic mountain range are home to roughly half of the approximately 880 mountain gorillas left in the wild. Upon arrival in the capital of Kigali, travel overland to Volcanoes National Park, where the late Dian Fossey famously studied these majestic animals with support from National Geographic.

Embark on an unforgettable trek in Volcanoes National Park with local guides in search of endangered mountain gorillas. These highly social creatures can be found in communities of more than 20 individuals, each led by an older, dominant male known as a silverback for the silver sheen of its fur. Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime chance to observe gorilla families up close in their natural habitat and witness their unique behaviors. Along the way, learn about the conservation efforts that have brought this species back from the brink of extinction after decades of decline due to war, poaching, and habitat loss—and hear about recent and renewed threats that mountain gorillas face today.

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

TERMS AND CONDITIONS ITINERARY CHANGES: The itinerary and staff are subject to modification and change by National Geographic Expeditions or the Tour Operator. Every reasonable effort will be made to operate the program as planned; however, should unforeseen world events and conditions require our itinerary to be altered, we reserve the right to do so for the safety and best interest of the group. National Geographic Expeditions and the Tour Operator reserve the right to cancel any trip in the event inadequate enrollment makes the trip economically infeasible to operate. In such a case, the Tour Operator will provide you with a full refund of the monies paid to the Tour Operator for the Expedition.

PHOTOGRAPHY: We reserve 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 National Geographic Partners, LLC, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, directors, successors, representatives, assigns (collectively “National Geographic”), National Geographic–authorized third parties, and the Tour Operator without compensation to the Participant. If the Participant prefers that his/ her likeness not be used, he/she must notify us in writing prior to departure of the trip. Copyright in all photographs, video, and related materials created by the Participant (“Expedition Materials”) shall belong to the Participant upon creation. The Participant grants to National Geographic a nonexclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license to use any Expedition Materials provided to National Geographic and/or the Tour Operator in any media now existing or subsequently developed for the following limited purposes: editorial use, promotion of this editorial use, promotion of National Geographic’s travel programs, or promotion of the mission of National Geographic.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY:

The passenger tickets in use by the carriers shall constitute the sole contract between the carriers and the passenger; the carriers are not responsible for any act, omission, or event during the time Expedition Participants are not aboard their conveyance. Neither National Geographic, the Tour Operator, nor any of their respective owners, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, employees, contractors, officers, or agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) shall be held liable for (A) 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 your travel in connection with the Expedition. The Participant waives any claim against any of the Released Parties for any such loss, damage, injury, or death, including any right to seek consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages against any of the Released Parties for any reason whatsoever. None of the Released Parties shall be liable for any air carrier’s cancellation penalty incurred by the purchase of a nonrefundable ticket.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK:

You understand and acknowledge that your travel in connection with and participation in the Expedition or any activities which may take place during the Expedition may involve risk and potential exposure to injury or fatal injury and that risk and dangers may arise or be caused by the negligence or participation of other Participants, contractors, and/or subcontractors for the Expedition or from other foreseeable and unforeseeable causes, including weather and other acts of nature.

EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY:

In recognition of the inherent risk of the travels and related activities in which you are intending to engage, you confirm that you are physically and mentally capable of participating in the Expedition and that you willingly and voluntarily assume full responsibility for any injury, loss, or damage suffered by you or caused by you. By registering for the Expedition, you certify that you do not have any mental, physical, or other condition or disability that would create a hazard for yourself or other Participants. The Tour Operator reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept, decline to accept, or remove any Participant on the Expedition and reserves the right, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to withdraw any part or all of the Expedition and to make such changes as may be necessary.

ARBITRATION: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance thereunder, including without limitation any claim related to bodily injury, property damage, or death, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A., in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then existing, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy. Such proceedings will be governed by substantive Washington State law. This agreement to arbitrate does not waive or modify the liability release contained in this document.

EXCLUSIVE GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION:

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. If the right to seek arbitration is for any reason waived by both parties, or if judicial review of any arbitration is sought, any action or legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Washington, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington or the appropriate appellate courts, and the parties hereby waive any objection to venue or jurisdiction in connection therewith. In connection with any action or legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the parties hereby specifically and knowingly waive any rights that either party might have to demand a jury trial.

SINGLE/SHARED ACCOMMODATIONS AND SUITE UPGRADES:

A limited number of single rooms are available at extra cost on a first-come, first-served basis. The Tour Operator will make reasonable efforts to assist persons requesting a roommate. Participants will be notified if a suitable roommate is found. If a roommate is not confirmed, the single rate will be charged.

VISAS AND ENTRY PERMITS: 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 visas and/or entry permits does not negate the Terms and Conditions.

The Tour Operator will provide information on the necessary visas and/or entry permits in pre-departure documents.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: This is an active trip which requires you to

make a realistic assessment of your health.

A form will be sent to you for your physician to sign. We are prepared to arrange for an alternative destination or activity if your physician recommends it. Malaria and other diseases are present in some of the countries featured in this itinerary; proof of yellow fever inoculation is required. For the latest recommendations on specific health precautions for the areas you will visit, consult your physician and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Any physical condition requiring special attention, diet, or treatment should be reported in writing when the reservation is made. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate travelers with special needs; however, we regret that we cannot accommodate wheelchairs. If you require a slower pace, extra assistance, or the use of a cane or walking stick, arrangements will be made for private touring at each destination, if necessary, at the discretion of our Expedition staff. Any extra cost for such arrangements will be the responsibility of the traveler. If you would like to forgo some of the scheduled sightseeing to rejuvenate and relax, please feel free to do so at any time.

BASIS OF RATES: All prices are based on two persons sharing a room.

All prices and fares are quoted in U.S. dollars. The rates are based on current tariffs and are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
