Tanzania Safari
January 6 - 18, 2009 13 Days!
Join us in East Africa on our spectacular Tanzania wildlife safari. We have planned our visit during the best time to view the animals of the Serengeti. Lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and other predators are especially visible during this time. We'll also visit Ngorongoro Crater, described as the eighth wonder of the world, Lake Manyara National Park in the Great Rift Valley, and Olduvai Gorge, where Richard and Mary Leakey made their famous archeological discoveries of early hominids. Travelers will be accompanied by CAS senior naturalist Milan Bull. Miley has led trips throughout the world for many years. His leadership and knowledge of the natural world will add immeasurably to your experience. Travelers will be joined by outstanding driver guides, who have a wealth of information to share. Our safari accommodations will be in hotels and lodges. Participants travel by four-wheel-drive safari vehicles equipped with roof hatches. Everyone is guaranteed a window seat. Call for details.
Galapagos Islands
The #1 Natural History Destination!
April 25 - May 4, 2009 10 Days!
Ecuador Pre-Trip: April 22 - 25
The Galapagos have been aptly described as the world’s greatest living laboratory for the study and observation of nature. Ever since Darwin’s famous voyage on the Beagle, research there has contributed greatly to our knowledge of the evolution of life on earth. Situated on the equator some 600 miles off the coast of South America, this remote volcanic archipelago remains much as it was millions of years ago. Over the course of centuries, animals and plant life from the Americas reached the islands and gradually evolved into new life forms. Many of its bird, plant, and fish species are found nowhere else on earth. The opportunities for observation and photography are spectacular because in addition to the striking natural beauty and unique flora and fauna, one of the special fascinations of the Galapagos is that the animals show virtually no fear of humans. Sea lions, iguanas, nesting birds, and other “wildlife” are often within arm’s reach, giving one the feeling of being immersed in the natural world as nowhere else. Fee includes meals, land and luxury yacht accommodations, and guides. Fee: $4,298 includes in-country flight. Leader: Milan Bull.
