Collette Highlights New Safari Tour by Land and Water
The 15-day trip to southern Africa is part of the company’s push to include unique modes of transportation in its small group Explorations product line
PAWTUCKET, RI (October 18, 2022) — Collette travelers asked for offer more safari tours, and the tour operator answered that call. Collette shared that booking is now open for its new small group Explorations tour Wilderness of Southern Africa: Safari by Land & Water. This tour is one of many in Collette’s small group lineup with a focus on unique modes of transportation.
“This tour gives travelers the opportunity to explore southern Africa beyond the game drives they are used to,” said Diana Ditto, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Collette. “They will hop into a 4x4 and go on 7 land game drives, but they’ll go beyond your typical safari. They climb aboard a private, luxury safari boat, some smaller tender boats, and even take a game walk in search of the wildlife in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa.”
The 15-day tour, which begins at $5,699.00 per person, will have its first departure in May. This small group adventure will have a maximum of 24 travelers to allow for a deeper dive into both the wilderness and culture of southern Africa. In addition to the search for the Big Five game animals, travelers can expect to visit the powerful Victoria Falls, take part in a simple, traditional meal with locals during a home-hosted lunch, drive down countryside roads not frequented by other travelers, and visit an elephant sanctuary, among other unique inclusions.  
Small group tours like this one make it a point to take travelers beyond the coach and implement unique modes of transportation to help travelers to the heart of a destination. Whether they’re zipping through the streets of Bangkok in a tuk-tuk, cruising in the back of a vintage taxicab in Dublin, floating down the canals of Venice in a gondola, exploring Lisbon in a private tram, or white water rafting down Montana’s Flathead River, these adventurers travel in style around the world. 
Travelers can book all of Collette’s tours with confidence knowing that when they add Collette’s Travel Protection Plan, they will receive a full money-back refund if they need to cancel – up to 24 hours before departure.
