WILDLIFE OF THE WORLD MULTI-DESTINATION

Visiting multiple destinations in one trip is achievable, certainly — but if you want to do it seamlessly, sitting firmly in the lap of luxury while heading to exciting and remote spots, consider one of National Geographic Expeditions’ private jet tours. For those wanting to see all the big hitters in one swoop, there’s a number of around-the-world trips. But animal lovers rejoice — the 24-day Wildlife of the World itinerary begins in Singapore before venturing onwards to China; Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, Madagascar, Kenya and Rwanda, before finishing off in Rome, all via a private custom configured Boeing 757. Accompanied throughout by a biologist, you’ll visit a panda reserve in Chengdu; explore Yala National Park in Sri Lanka to seek out elephants, leopards, sloth bears and hundreds of bird species; go snorkeling in the aquamarine Indian Ocean and look out for dolphins in the Maldives and Mauritius; hike through the rain forests of Madagascar to spot black lemurs and Nosy Be panther chameleons; look out for the Big Five at the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya (and spot crocodiles and hippos alongside the Mara River); and sit among a family of gorillas at Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. The dates for the trip are July 28 through August 2. From $119,995 per person based on double occupancy. Contact +1 888 227 7265, nationalgeographic.com
