New Boundless Journeys Guided Tours for 2024

Tanzania: Sky Safari

What exactly is a sky safari? It means touching down in some of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes, for one. It means maximizing your time exploring the wilderness of Northern Tanzania and minimizing time spent in transit. This ten-day African safari will take you from the shadow of Kilimanjaro to the heart of Ngorongoro Crater to the vastness of the Serengeti, encountering the richness of Tanzanian wildlife all along the way. You’ll enjoy unique accommodations such as the Tarangire Treetops, a lodge that’s elevated above the ground among the baobab trees, giving you spectacular views. While on our Tanzania safaris, you’ll enjoy gourmet meals in exclusive locations such as a private section of the Ngorongoro Crater, and you’ll experience the local culture at a Masai village. You won’t waste a minute, but you’ll have plenty of time to reflect and explore.

Kenya: Sky Safari

On this sky safari, you will be flown right into the Amboseli National Park, where few other travelers explore. You’ll also be whisked away on a flight to Laikipia—one of the few places in Africa where wildlife numbers are on the increase. Your sky safari flight then brings you to the iconic Masai Mara. The world-famous wildlife destination earns its lofty reputation by combining unparalleled wildlife spotting, luxurious lodges, and cutting-edge conservation. Animals often outnumber humans in these parts, and our journeys will take us past herds of elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more. Our bush guides are intimately familiar with the territory and will call your attention to wonders large and small. Make your Kenya safari even more memorable with an optional excursion such as a bush walk, horse or camel-back safari, or a hot air balloon ride.

Thailand, Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam: The Best of Southeast Asia

If the sights and culture of Southeast Asia have ever captured your imagination, this is the tour for you. While on our Thailand guided tours, you’ll get acquainted with Thailand’s most revered creature, the elephant, at one of the most reputable elephant sanctuaries in the region. You’ll also learn how to cook mouthwatering Thai cuisine and visit a local market. Ancient temples nestle among the mountains of Chiang Rai, where you’ll visit the white temple of Wat Rong Khun, one of the most impressive and famous in all of Thailand. After exploring “the land of smiles,” you’ll cross the Mekong for your tour of Laos, where villages accessible only by boat sit peacefully along the riverbanks. Experience an optional hike to the majestic Kuang Si Waterfall, explore the highlights of the vibrant city of Luang Prabang, and take time to enjoy a traditional Lao massage. In the second week of your travels you’ll explore the legendary temple complex of Angkor Wat on your Cambodia tour. As the adventure draws to a close you’ll visit the beautiful and diverse city of Hanoi in Vietnam, take in the French influence and learn about the rich history of Vietnam.

Ireland: Gems of the Emerald Isle

The cultural landmark that is Dublin is just the starting point of your explorations on this ten-day tour, which will take you across landscapes steeped in history, myth, and legend. During our Ireland hiking tour, you’ll visit Sligo, the seaside town as famous for its literary heritage as its rugged ocean views; hike the peaks and heaths of Connemara; browse the cobblestone streets of Galway before continuing on to explore still more mountain passes and quiet isles. You’ll experience the breathtaking views from the Cliff of Moher, and venture to iconic landmarks in history such as the Ross Castle in Killarney. Indulge in excellent fresh seafood, lamb and other local specialties on this adventure. And of course, you’ll get to take in the great Irish institution that is the pub. Relax with a pint to the sounds of traditional Irish music—or if you’ve got the energy, get on your feet for a round of dancing.

Italy: Sardinia’s Mountains & Coast Hiking

Sardinia is Italy’s second-largest island, but its beauty is second to none. This nine-day

Italy hiking tour will expose you to the richness and contrasts of the landscape, from the interior mountains to the vivid hues of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The journey begins in Olbia, which means “happiness” in Greek. Its colorful piazzas, galleries, and cafés set a carefree tone as you venture into the countryside, taking in the peak of Mount Ruji and other natural highlights. Your travels will also take you off the island to explore other, smaller isles along the Emerald Coast.

On your final day, you’ll explore the dramatic volcanic Mount Etna where we will get in some exciting hikes with views of the huge lava-covered valley. These are just a few of the adventures you’ll experience on this remarkable island.

Slovenia & Croatia: Alps to Istria

Hikers know these Balkan nations offer some of Europe’s most exciting treks, but their Old World cultural appeal is just as impressive. Across nine days and two countries, you’ll discover a range of historical, culinary, and outdoor delights. This Slovenia hiking tour begins in Ljubljana, and quickly transitions to the glacial valley of Kamniska Bistrica.
