    Welcome to Africa

    African landscapes parading with the circle of life promise magical moments unlike any you have imagined before. You'll find them...

    ...while tasting wines carefully cultivated and expertly poured. At safari lodges, tented camps and members' clubs luxuriously appointed and wilderness inspired. In private reserves protecting wildlife, hoofed, pawed and footloose all. In national parks pulsing with moving vignettes and seasonal migrations. On forested volcanic slopes sheltering gorillas, endangered and endearing. Inside tribal villages governed by nature. Near watering holes refreshing passing herds. In sanctuaries sheltering rhinos, chimpanzees and orphaned elephants. On wildlife encounters, naturalist led, and aboard a hot air balloon, perspectives heightened. During game drives, sighting rich. In ancient souks and medinas, Moroccan styled. On a dhow cruise and spice walk, Zanzibar bound. And at sundowners, crimson-skyed, with glasses and spirits raised. Read Less

    Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda

    A once-in-a-lifetime encounter with endangered mountain gorillas... on safari in Rwanda with Tauck

    On two safaris in wildlife-rich game reserves in Tanzania and Kenya, you'll spend the last three nights of your journey in Rwanda – home to the last remaining mountain gorillas on Earth. After gaining insights on gorilla behavior at private lectures and a visit to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Museum, you'll be ready to begin your gorilla trek. Imagine hiking into the wilderness with a private porter and an expert guide for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with mountain gorillas in the wild… watching them interact with each other – and, if they so choose, perhaps with you!

    Africa's "Big Five"

    Meet the "Big Five"

    Lions (Panthera leo) are often seen in Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya), Serengeti & Tarangire national parks, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Tanzania). Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) can weigh as much as 1,500 lbs. – big and dangerous enough to keep most predators at bay. Buffalo roam the Sabi Sands Game Reserve (South Africa) and Serengeti National Park (Tanzania). black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) may be spotted in Ngorongoro Crater and the Masai Mara. leopards (Panthera pardus) are prevalent in most parks and reserves in east and southern Africa; you'll often need to look up to spot one... since they spend much of their time in trees. African Elephant (Loxodonta africana), the world's largest land mammal, is a fixture throughout the Masai Mara, as well as Amboseli and Serengeti national parks. Although they are not among the "Big Five," a gorilla trek in Rwanda is one of life's memorable experiences.

    Dinner in the desert, Berber-style

    Travel by 4x4 vehicle to a Berber-style dinner in a desert camp

    In the desert outside Marrakech, ancient Berber villages preserve time-honored folkways and rituals – like the traditional Moroccan tea ceremony – that have survived for centuries. Ride aboard a 4x4 vehicle to one of these villages for tea with the village chief and a crash-course in Berber culture. Then it's on to our desert camp, where dinner is served Berber-style under a tent with musical entertainment. Experience local customs like riding a camel... smoking shisha (using a hubbly-bubbly pipe, or hookah, to smoke flavored tobacco)... or having your hands or feet decorated with traditional henna designs!

    Historic Safari Lodges... Legendary Hotels...

    Accommodations as important as the experience...

    We've carefully selected your accommodations – Africa's finest safari lodges, private game reserves, tented safari camps, classic hotels and premier resorts... many are sought-after destinations in themselves, authentically capturing the essence of their surroundings. From classic safari lodges to luxury tented safari camps... "old world" grand hotels to premier resorts... you'll experience the best of Africa, sunrise to sunset.

    Cultural connections

    Get to know the Maasai in Tanzania and Kenya

    Discovering cultural legacies leads to life-changing discoveries. Visit tribal villages on the slopes of mighty Kilimanjaro, in the African bush and on plains that move with an endless procession of migrating beasts and nomadic tribes. Meet Maasai warriors, artisans and school children eager to share their customs and homeland with you in moments so heartwarming you'll return home transformed. The pulse of South Africa is, of course, in its people... in the streets and squares of Jo'burg and Cape Town where a multitude of cultures (Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, European, Malaysian and Indian, to name a few) collide and mix in dazzling displays of art, music, dance and cuisine... and in the bushveld, where you'll encounter tribal traditions that sustain a proud and irrepressible people... always ready to share their customs, language, dances and songs with a warm welcome.
