Ride the rails as you explore Switzerland from Geneva to Zermatt. This tour attracts travellers with its glorious alpine views of Jungfrau, Eiger and Mönch.
Highlights:
Gornergrat excursion
Take to the skies…by train! Globus have included a thrilling journey on the Gornergrat Bahn, the highest rack railway in Europe. Climb almost 1,500 metres from Zermatt Station to the summit of Gornergrat to be met with a view of 29 mountains (of at least 4,000 metres) – including the famous Matterhorn.
Journey to Jungfrau
Another sky-high adventure awaits, this time at the top of Jungfrau. Nicknamed the ‘Top of Europe’, disembark at Europe’s highest railway station to spend time at the summit. From an Ice Palace featuring ice sculptures to the Sphinx Observatory with views of the longest Alps glacier, this Small Group Discovery excursion is unmissable.
Montana and Yellowstone National Park
Tour: Majestic Montana & Yellowstone
There’s nothing like the pristine scenery in Montana. It’s filled to the brim with dramatic landscapes, thundering waterfalls, and abundant wildlife.
Highlights:
Glamping in rural Montana
Flanked by the mountains and Yellowstone River, indulge in a glamping experience at Under Canvas in Livingston. Sleep underneath the stars in luxurious tents complete with all the trimmings – an ensuite, plush linen, hot running water and a private deck.
Dinner at a local ranch
Montana has rivers, ranches, farms and fertile ground aplenty, making farm-to-table a way of life here. Sustainably grown ingredients flourish and are easily within arm’s reach. A highlight of this Small Group Discovery tour is dinner at a local ranch. Not only do you have an incredible feast, but growers and culinary superstars can impart their wisdom of fresh and healthy food all while supporting the local economy.
Kenya & Tanzania
Tour: Kenya & Tanzania: The Safari Experience
Mystical mountains, savannah grasslands, endless plains and where the wild things are…Kenya and Tanzania are calling! 4WD safaris, unique accommodation and Big 5 spottings come together on this thrilling Small Group Discovery tour.
Highlights:
Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary
The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary was set up through a partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service and Jane Goodall Institute. To conserve wildlife for future generations, the sanctuary offers a long-term home for orphaned and abused chimpanzees. To ensure the best possible welfare for the chimpanzees, you’ll be split into groups of no more than 6. The beauty of this excursion on this Small Group Discovery tour is an intimate experience with the chimpanzees.
Ngorongoro Crater experience
Spanning over 600 metres deep and 260 square kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is the largest (unflooded) caldera in the world. The crater is famous for fantastic game viewing as animals can tend to stay here year-round. Globus includes a full-day game drive on this tour, topped off with a bush lunch in the crater! Because of the time it takes to descend and ascend into the crater, other tours usually serve a packed lunch. However, by travelling with Globus, you’re treated to an exclusive, freshly cooked bush BBQ lunch. Dine under a grove of Acacia trees while watching wildlife such as the Cape buffalo, rare black rhinoceros, elephants, hippos and birds.
