Collette shows off over 30 years of safari experience with ‘Wilderness of Southern Africa: Safari by Land and Water’ tour

Pawtucket, RI (June 11, 2024) – Collette’s new “Wilderness of Southern Africa: Safari by Land and Water” small group Explorations tour showcases the company’s 30-plus years of safari experience. Travellers not only get to explore and learn about the African wildlife, but also get a taste of local living.

“We have seen increased interest in tours to Southern and Eastern Africa,” said Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, chief executive officer at Collette. “Collette has been designing inclusive safari tours for three decades, allowing travellers to get closer to the wildlife, to nature, to culture, and to picturesque landscapes that they’ve only dreamed about exploring.”

Starting in 2025, all African safari tours have a maximum of 18 travellers, falling under Collette's small group Explorations travel style. Tailored specifically for a more intimate size group they allow for more immersive experiences. On safaris this results in travellers enjoying creative comforts in lodges, tented camps, and safari boats in close proximity to parks and game reserves.

On “Wilderness of Southern Africa: Safari by Land and Water,” travellers embark on seven game drives and three game cruises with an opportunity to see a wider range of wildlife. Other highlights include a visit to Victoria Falls for a home-hosted lunch, a journey through Chobe and Hwange National Parks, and a farewell dinner on the banks of the Zambezi River. Seats on this tour are still available as early as August 1, 2024, for prices starting at $7,499 USD pp.
