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.

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.

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.

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.
