–J. Alyce, traveler

By traveling with us, you help support National Geographic grantees and explorers in their efforts to preserve species and habitats, protect cultures, and advance understanding of our incredible planet.

Dear Traveler,

There’s a reason why National Geographic is synonymous with pioneering exploration and trailblazing travel. For more than a century, our explorers have ventured to the furthest reaches of the planet to uncover and celebrate its wonders—scaling its highest peaks, probing its deepest seas, documenting its diverse cultures. From Richard E. Byrd’s historic flight over the South Pole in 1929 to Michael Fay’s 2,000-mile trek across Congo and Gabon in 2000, such expeditions have deepened our understanding of the world, challenged our perspectives, and thrilled and moved us. Now, we invite you to celebrate your inner explorer as we embark on a global expedition of astonishing scope and depth, the likes of which our early adventurers could have only imagined: a journey around the world by private jet.

Our 24-day expedition spans a dazzling array of ancient and sacred places, spectacular landscapes, and intriguing cultures. Experience the majesty and mystery of Machu Picchu, Easter Island, and Angkor Wat. Immerse yourself in the Buddhist culture of Tibet, and delve into the history of Islam amid the mosques of Marrakech. Track legendary wildlife in the Serengeti, snorkel vibrant coral gardens on the Great Barrier Reef, and soak up the colorful Polynesian culture of Samoa. Encounter some of civilization’s greatest masterpieces as we wander through the exquisite Taj Mahal and examine buildings carved into sheer sandstone walls in Petra, Jordan. Traveling aboard our specially configured jet, you’ll be whisked from each of these fantastic places to the next with ease and comfort. What makes the trip truly extraordinary is the team of National Geographic experts we travel with on board and the researchers and grantees we meet in the field. Their knowledge and insights bring each unique place to life, and their passion for exploration is palpable. On our December 2015 departure, for instance, you’ll travel alongside experts such as anthropologist, author, and filmmaker Wade Davis; Jack Daulton, a popular historian of culture and art; and National Geographicphotojournalist Massimo Bassano.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience many of the world’s most iconic places—all in one exhilarating, unforgettable journey. We hope you will join us.

October 24—November 16, 2016*

Orlando, Florida*

Day 1. Meet experts, staff, and fellow travelers for a welcome dinner at our hotel. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes

Cusco and Machu Picchu or Trujillo and Chiclayo, Peru

Days 2, 3 and 4. This morning, our private jet takes us to Lima, where we take a local flight to charming Cusco (11,200 feet). Explore the imposing cathedral in the Plaza de Armas, considered by many to be one of the finest combinations of Spanish Renaissance style and legendary Inca stonemasonry. Marvel at the treasures of the Pre-Columbian Art Museum, where we will meet with National Geographic grantee and master Andean weaver Nilda Callañaupa, who works with traditional weavers throughout Peru to preserve her country’s rich heritage of textile arts.

Discover the remains of the great fortress of Sacsayhuaman overlooking Cusco, where enormous blocks of stone—some weighing more than 200 tons—were used to build the walls. Assembled without the use of mortar, the blocks fit together so tightly that a knife blade cannot be inserted between them.

Then travel on the Hiram Bingham, our privately chartered train, to Machu Picchu (8,000 feet), passing through the spectacular Urubamba Valley, known as the Sacred Valley of the Inca. Still clouded in mystery, Machu Picchu was abandoned by the Inca and lost to history until it was rediscovered by American explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911 and excavated with support from the National Geographic Society. Examine the artfully cut stone altars, temples, fountains, staircases, and terraced gardens that make this one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological treasures. Belmond Hotel Monasterio or Belmond Palacio Nazarenas, Cusco

Alternative: Instead of visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu, head to northern Peru to visit the temples of Trujillo and Chiclayo, where the richest burial chambers in the Americas were discovered. See where the ancient Moche and Chimu peoples lived, and explore Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in the world. Libertador Trujillo and Belmond Miraflores Park

Machu Picchu, Peru

AROUND THE WORLD BY PR I VATE JET


Days 5 and 6. Fly to Easter Island, located 2,300 miles off the coast of Chile. Scattered with mysterious, colossal stone statues called moai, the island is an open-air museum of the ruins of a lost culture. The island has been the subject of debate since it was first seen by Europeans on Easter Sunday in 1722. How did its native people first arrive? What transpired over the centuries? What do the tall, brooding statues mean? Learn the hidden stories of the island’s wonders with renowned archaeologist Edmundo Edwards, and marvel at the many moai that dot the windswept landscape. Along the way, discover the ancient ceremonial centers, volcanic craters, petroglyphs, lava formations, and fascinating clues to the Orongo birdman cult. Then enjoy a splendid performance by a local Rapa Nui dance troupe. Hangaroa Eco Village & Spa

Apia, Samoa, Polynesia

Day 7. From Easter Island we continue our voyage across the Pacific, crossing the international date line. We lose a day en route and arrive in Samoa the following evening.

Day 8. Samoa is one of the few places where pure Polynesian culture remains essentially intact: tribal rituals and hierarchies are little changed from ancient times. This beautiful island world is well known for its hospitality, traditional ceremonies, and distinct communal customs (known as fa’a Samoa, or “the Samoan way”). Enjoy a fia fia—a colorful performance of traditional Samoan dance and song. Aggie Grey’s Lagoon Beach Resort & Spa, Apia

Angkor Wat, Cambodia


The Great Barrier Reef or the Daintree Rain Forest, Australia

Days 9 and 10. Fly to Cairns and transfer to the charming seaside town of Port Douglas. Explore the Great Barrier Reef, the largest known coral reef in the world and home to an exceptionally rich variety of marine life. Snorkel among rainbow-colored corals with schools of unicornfish, surgeonfish, bumphead parrotfish, and sea turtles. Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort & Spa

Alternative: Instead of the Great Barrier Reef, discover the natural wonders of the Daintree, a rain forest approximately 90 million years older than the Amazon rain forest. Go on a Dreamtime walk in Mossman Gorge with a member of the Kuku Yalanji, who will share his people’s legends and take you to sacred sites.

Angkor Wat or the Hidden Temples of Cambodia

Days 11 and 12. Fly by private jet to Siem Reap, our base for exploring Angkor, the heart of the ancient Khmer Empire. Delve into the magnificent Angkor Wat temple complex, one of humankind’s greatest architectural triumphs; and discover the massive towers, carved murals, colonnades, and courtyards that exemplify classic Khmer architecture. At Angkor Thom, explore the Bayon Temple and the Terrace of the Elephants. Then set out on a cruise to nearby floating villages on Tonlé Sap Lake (water levels permitting), or explore the temple of Ta Prohm, still tangled in the thick roots of banyan trees. In the evening, enjoy a classical Apsara dance performance during dinner at our fine hotel. Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor

Alternative: Instead of Angkor Wat, explore the lost jungle temple of Beng Mea Lea (water levels permitting), one of the largest Khmer temples; and the ninth-century Roluos temple complex of Hariharalaya, the first capital of the Khmer Empire, which predates Angkor Wat by some 300 years.

Spinecheek anemonefish, Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Mossman Gorge, Daintree Rain Forest, Australia

Proceeds from our expeditions help fund the Society’s research, conservation, and exploration programs, which include a study on the response of the Great Barrier Reef to environmental stress.


Chengdu, China*

Day 13. Today, fly by private jet to Chengdu, China, where we will see the area’s giant pandas at the Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center. Then enjoy dinner and a night’s rest before departing for Tibet. Shangri-La Hotel, Chengdu

Lhasa, Tibet or Xi’an, China*

Days 14 and 15. In the morning, take a local flight to Lhasa, Tibet’s capital, located on one of the world’s highest plateaus. Once a “forbidden city,” this Himalayan center of Buddhist pilgrimage—with the spectacular Potala Palace dominating its skyline—still retains a mystical atmosphere. Visit the Jokhang Temple, the region’s oldest and most revered; and explore the colorful Tibetan markets, known for their finely crafted ornaments, rugs, religious paintings, and carvings. The next day, venture into Potala Palace, a highlight of our time in Lhasa. The palace, with its hundreds of rooms, lavish decor, and labyrinthine corridors, was once the winter residence of the Dalai Lama and served as the seat of the Tibetan government for more than 300 years. Stop by the nearly 600-year-old Sera Monastery, where we may see monks in the debating courtyard. You may also visit the Tibet Museum or a local nunnery. St. Regis Lhasa Resort

Alternative: Instead of visiting Lhasa, fly from Chengdu to Xi’an by local flight and enjoy a two-day excursion in this former Chinese capital. View the famous 7,000-strong army of life-size terra-cotta warriors; and visit the Ming dynasty walls, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the impressive Yangling Tombs of Emperor Liu Qi and Empress Wang. The Westin Xian

*On the January 2016 departure, Myanmar will replace China and Tibet on Days 13-15. Visit the ancient city of Bagan, home to more than 2,000 temples; Inle Lake and its floating gardens and stilt villages; and the glittering Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon.

The Taj Mahal, India

Days 16 and 17. Take a local flight to Chengdu, and board our private jet for the flight to Agra. Discover the iconic Taj Mahal, built in the 17th century by Shah Jahan as a tribute to his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. A masterpiece of the Mogul Empire, the monument soars majestically above the banks of the Yamuna River. Wander the site, admire its form among the reflecting pools and gardens that surround it, and examine its intricate mosaics made of precious stones. In the afternoon, you may explore the imposing sandstone Red Fort of Agra, where Mogul emperors lived in splendor. Or you may choose to venture into Kachhpura, a village in Agra inhabited by the Harijan people, otherwise known as “untouchables.” Meet with local families and visit a school. If you wish, rise early the next day to join our National Geographic photographer to capture images of the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

Alternative: Instead of the Taj Mahal, explore Fatehpur Sikri, Emperor Akbar’s crowning architectural achievement, an exquisite red sandstone city that served as the Mogul capital from 1572 to 1585. Stroll through well-preserved pavilions, courtyards, tombs, and palaces—most notably the emperor’s private quarters, a “palace of dreams” richly decorated with Persian calligraphy and murals.

The Red Fort of Agra, India

Impalas, Serengeti, Tanzania

The Treasury, Petra, Jordan


The Serengeti Plain or Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

Days 18 and 19. Fly by private jet to Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to a smaller aircraft for the flight to Serengeti National Park. In the local Maasai language, Serengeti means “extended place”—an appropriate name for this vast wildlife sanctuary, which is one of the most complex and least disturbed ecosystems on Earth. Go deep into the savanna to witness Africa’s greatest concentration of wildebeests and zebras, as well as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti

Alternative: Instead of exploring the Serengeti, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater to observe the permanent population of about 25,000 animals in one of the largest unbroken calderas in the world. Along with herds of wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras, we may also see the “big five” (rhinoceroses, lions, leopards, elephants, and Cape buffaloes). Spend your nights here at a well-appointed lodge perched on the crater’s rim. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Please note: During our stay, travelers will have the opportunity to meet either Meave or Louise Leakey, both National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence whose family of renowned anthropologists has discovered many important fossils in the area.

The Lost City of Petra and Wadi Rum, Jordan

Days 20 and 21. Situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, Petra was settled by the enigmatic Nabataean people in 312 B.C. and became an important crossroads between Arabia, Egypt, and the Levant. Half built, half-carved into rose red sandstone cliffs, Petra is undoubtedly one of the world’s most impressive architectural achievements. Step back in time 2,000 years as you stroll this ancient city, and learn why these enigmatic people built their capital in such an inaccessible spot. Enter the Siq, a dramatic opening in the brilliantly hued bedrock; and arrive at the Treasury, Petra’s most exquisite edifice. Discover many other elaborately decorated buildings and tombs chiseled from sheer rock walls, and observe the superb blending of Eastern traditions with Hellenistic architecture up close. On our last evening, gather for a festive Bedouin dinner. The following morning, travel to Wadi Rum, a beautiful desert landscape made famous by T.E. Lawrence and the film Lawrence of Arabia. On a jeep safari, see the spectacular rock formations known as the Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Mövenpick Resort, Petra

Rhinoceroses, Serengeti, Tanzania

Lion, Serengeti, Tanzania

Wadi Rum, Jordan

Proceeds from our expeditions help fund the Society’s research, conservation, and exploration programs, including the numerous programs of the Big Cats Initiative, which protect endangered lions and cheetahs on Tanzania’s Maasai Steppe. Proceeds also support the groundbreaking research of National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Meave and Louise Leakey through our Explorer Programs.


Marrakech or the Atlas Mountains, Morocco

Days 22 and 23. Fly by private jet to Marrakech, where we will explore this fabled city, located in an oasis of palm and olive groves and steeped in ancient Berber tradition. See the Koutoubia Mosque, Ben Youssef Madrasa, and the grand Bahia Palace. Wander through the medina, a jumble of colorful suqs; and stroll the Djemaa el Fna, a lively square where snake charmers, acrobats, and magicians enchant passersby. If you wish, immerse yourself in the lush blue-and-green paradise of the Majorelle Garden, a delightful combination of traditional Moroccan architecture, Islamic art and artifacts, rare plants from five continents, and North African birds. On our last evening, celebrate our adventure at a farewell dinner with traditional entertainment. La Mamounia, Marrakech

Alternative: Instead of exploring Marrakech, spend the day in the spectacular Atlas Mountains, the highest mountain range in North Africa. Visit a Berber village, share tea with a village elder and his family, and enjoy a delicious picnic lunch. In the evening, rejoin the group in Marrakech for our farewell dinner.

Orlando, Florida*

Day 24. Following breakfast, board our private jet and fly to Orlando, Florida. Upon arrival, you may connect with your commercial flight home, or, if you wish, we will provide complimentary accommodations at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport Hotel for the night.*

Refunds will be made within 14 days of receipt of your notice of cancellation.

Leaving an expedition in progress, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in a refund, and no refunds will be made for any unused portions of an expedition. If you cancel and provide a substitute Participant for the expedition, you will receive from the Tour Operator a full refund of money paid toward the price less an administrative charge of $25 for effecting the substitution once the substitute Participant has paid in full. If we make major changes prior to departure, you have the right to cancel and receive a full refund. Please note that the costs for visas, commercial air tickets, insurance, suite upgrades, and pre- or post-expedition independent arrangements may not be refundable. The following are major changes: (1) a change in the departure or return date, unless the change results from a flight delay experienced by the air carrier (If, however, the delay is longer than 48 hours, it will be considered a major change); (2) a change in the origin or destination city for any flight leg, unless the change affects only the order in which cities named in a tour package are visited; (3) a substitute of any hotel of lower standard; (4) a price increase of more than 10 percent occurring 10 or more days before departure. In no event can we increase your price less than 10 days before departure. If a major change must be made in the expedition, we will notify you within 7 days after first learning of the change, but in any event at least 10 days prior to the scheduled departure. If, less than 10 days before scheduled departure, we become aware that a major change must be made, we will notify you as soon as possible. Within 7 days after receiving notification of a major change, but in no event later than departure, you may cancel your reservation and you will receive a full refund within 14 days after canceling. If a major change that you are unwilling to accept occurs after the departure of the flight, we will refund, within 14 days after your scheduled return date, that portion of your payment that applies to the services not accepted. If we must cancel the expedition, we will notify you in writing within 7 days of the cancellation, but in no event later than 10 days before the scheduled departure date. We have no right to cancel the expedition less than 10 days before departure, except for circumstances that make it physically impossible to perform the trip or if a United States State Department Travel Warning not previously in effect is issued for one of the destinations on the itinerary. If that occurs, we will notify you as soon as possible, but not later than the scheduled departure date. If the expedition is canceled, the Tour Operator will make a full refund to you within 14 days after cancellation. The rights and remedies made available under this Contract are in addition to any other rights or remedies available under applicable law. However, we offer refunds under this contract with the express understanding that the receipt of that refund by a passenger waives the additional remedies.

TERMS AND CONDITIONSItinerary Changes: The itineraries and staff are subject to modification and change by the National Geographic Society or the Tour Operator. Every reasonable effort will be made to operate the program as planned; however, should unforeseen world events and conditions require our itinerary to be altered, we reserve the right to do so for the safety and best interest of the group. National Geographic Society and the Tour Operator reserve the right to cancel any trip in the event inadequate enrollment makes the trip economically infeasible to operate. In such a case, the Tour Operator will provide you with a full refund of the monies paid to the Tour Operator for the expedition.

Photography: We reserve the right to take photographs or videos during the operation of any expedition or part thereof and to use the resulting photography, videos, or recordings for promotional or commercial use. By making a reservation on the expedition, the Participant agrees to allow his/her likeness to be used by the National Geographic Society, National Geographic Society-authorized third parties, and the Tour Operator without compensation to the Participant. If the Participant prefers that his/her likeness not be used, he/she must notify us in writing prior to departure of the trip. Copyright in all photographs, video, and related materials created by the Participant (“Expedition Materials”) shall belong to the Participant upon creation. The Participant grants to the National Geographic Society a nonexclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license to use any Expedition Materials provided to the National Geographic Society and/or the Tour Operator in any media now existing or subsequently developed for the following limited purposes: editorial use, promotion of this editorial use, promotion of National Geographic’s travel programs, or promotion of the mission of the National Geographic Society.

Release of Liability: The passenger tickets in use by the carriers shall constitute the sole contract between the carriers and the passenger; the carriers are not responsible for any act, omission, or event during the time expedition Participants are not aboard their conveyance. Neither National Geographic Expeditions nor the Tour Operator, nor any of their respective owners, directors, employees, contractors, officers, or agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) shall be held liable for (A) any damage to, or loss of, property or injury to, or death of, persons occasioned directly or indirectly by an act or omission of any other provider, including but not limited to any defect in any aircraft, watercraft, or vehicle operated or provided by such other provider, (B) any loss or damage due to delay,

cancellation, or disruption in any manner caused by the laws, regulations, acts or failures to act, demands, orders, or interpositions of any government or any subdivision or agent thereof, or by acts of God, strikes, fire, flood, war, rebellion, terrorism, insurrection, sickness, quarantine, epidemics, theft, or any other cause(s) beyond their control, and (C) any and all claims, actions, or losses for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, loss of services, lost profits, consequential, exemplary, indirect or punitive damages or otherwise which may arise out of or occur during your travel in connection with the expedition. The Participant waives any claim against any of the Released Parties for any such loss, damage, injury, or death, including any right to seek consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages against any of the Released Parties for any reason whatsoever. None of the Released Parties shall be liable for any air carrier’s cancellation penalty incurred by the purchase of a nonrefundable ticket.Acknowledgment of Risk: You understand and acknowledge that your travel in connection with and participation in the expedition or any activities which may take place during the expedition, may involve risk and potential exposure to injury or fatal injury and that risk and dangers may arise or be caused by the negligence or participation of other Participants, contractors, and/or subcontractors for the expedition or from other foreseeable and unforeseeable causes, including weather and other acts of nature.Express Assumption of Risk and Responsibility: In recognition of the inherent risk of the travels and related activities in which you are intending to engage, you confirm that you are physically and mentally capable of participating in the expedition and that you willingly and voluntarily assume full responsibility for any injury, loss, or damage suffered by you or caused by you. By registering for the expedition, you certify that you do not have any mental, physical, or other condition or disability that would create a hazard for yourself or other Participants. The Tour Operator reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept, decline to accept, or remove any Participant on the expedition and reserves the right, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to withdraw any part or all of the expedition and to make such changes as may be necessary.

Arbitration: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance there under, including without limitation any claim related to bodily injury, property damage or death, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then existing, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy. Such proceedings will be governed by substantive Washington law. This agreement to arbitrate does not waive or modify the liability release contained in this document.

Exclusive Governing Law and Jurisdiction: This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. If the right to seek arbitration is for any reason waived by both parties, or if judicial review of any arbitration is sought, any action or legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Washington, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington or the appropriate appellate courts, and the parties hereby waive any objection to venue or jurisdiction in connection therewith. In connection with any action or legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the parties hereby specifically and knowingly waive any rights that either party might have to demand a jury trial.

Single/Shared Accommodations and Suite Upgrades: A limited number of single rooms are available at extra cost on a first-come, first-served basis. The Tour Operator will make reasonable efforts to assist persons requesting a roommate. Participants will be notified if a suitable roommate is found. If a roommate is not confirmed, the single rate will be charged. Suite rooms are available in some destinations; more information about them, including their extra costs, will be sent to you in the months before departure.

Airfare: The Tour Operator is happy to assist you in reserving commercial flights from your home city to Orlando, Florida or Washington, D.C., and from Orlando, Florida or Washington, D.C. to your home city, in the class of service that you prefer. Please ask for details.

Visas and Entry Permits: To participate in the expedition, visas and/or entry permits may be required for some countries. Acquiring visas and/or entry permits is the responsibility of the Participant. Failure to obtain visas and/or entry permits does not negate the terms and conditions. Any extra costs for rerouting a Participant without visas and/or entry permits will be the responsibility of the Participant. The Tour Operator will provide information on the necessary visas and/or entry permits in pre-departure documents.

Health Requirements: This is an active program, which requires you to make a realistic assessment of your health. Prior to traveling, we recommend that you visit your personal physician for a checkup so that you may discuss your ability to participate in this type of journey. All Participants are expected to be in active good health, to enjoy traveling as part of a group, and to be ready to experience cultural differences with grace. Walking and climbing stairs are required in many hotels and airports, and to board the aircraft, and are part of many excursions. Please note: To go to certain destinations or participate in certain activities, such as visiting a high-altitude area (8,000 feet above sea level and higher) including Cusco in Peru and Lhasa in Tibet, you will need to obtain your physician’s approval. A form will be sent to you for your physician to sign. We are prepared to arrange for an alternative destination or activity, if your physician recommends it. Malaria and other diseases are present in some of the countries featured in this itinerary; proof of yellow fever inoculation is required. For the latest recommendations on specific health precautions for the areas you will visit, consult your physician and the Centers for Disease Control. Any physical condition requiring special attention, diet, or treatment should be reported in writing when the reservation is made. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate travelers with special needs; however, we regret that we cannot accommodate wheelchairs. If you require a slower pace, extra assistance, or the use of a cane or walking stick, arrangements will be made for private touring at each destination, if necessary, at the discretion of our expedition staff. Any extra cost for such arrangements will be the responsibility of the traveler. If you would like to forgo some of the scheduled sightseeing to rejuvenate and relax, please feel free to do so at any time.

Basis of Rates: All prices are based on two persons sharing a room. All prices and fares are quoted in U.S. dollars. The rates are based on current tariffs and are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. While we will make reasonable efforts to maintain the listed prices, if it is necessary to levy a surcharge, we reserve the right to do so and will notify you at the time of final invoicing.

Eligibility: Participation in a National Geographic Expedition is a benefit of membership in the National Geographic Society. Membership dues for 2014 are $39. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the expedition.
