Pawtucket, RI (January 9, 2023) — Collette’s new Wilderness of Southern Africa: Safari by Land and Water Small Group Explorations tour is unique to other similar tours. Travelers taking traversing the area with Collette not only get to explore and learn about the African wildlife, but also have the opportunity to get a taste of local life.

On the 13th day of the tour, travelers pay a visit to a local family in Victoria Falls. During the visit they’ll get to enjoy an authentic, simple, home-hosted meal and learn what life is like for the household. Throughout the tour, there isn’t a shortage of opportunities to absorb the wildlife. Travelers get to ride amongst lions, leopards, elephants, and other wildlife unique to Africa on a 4x4. Later in the experience, travelers will embark on a three-night cruise on a safari boat along Lake Kariba. During the cruise, they’ll be able to observe plenty of birdlife and game species that call the area home. Travelers looking to lock down a spot on this tour can do so for as early as May 4, 2023, with prices starting at $5,699 USD pp.

“Collette’s Wilderness of Southern Africa: Safari by Land and Water Small Group Explorations tour isn’t your standard safari tour,” said Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, President and Chief Brand Officer at Collette. “There’s a great opportunity to get more out of the experience than just exploring the wildlife.
