Lions, Tigers & Tradewinds will embark November 2024 with an exhilarating itinerary and packed with excitement and adventure.
“This is one of our most diverse itineraries, retracing the path of ancient trade routes from the Middle East to Africa and India, discovering ancient civilizations and rarely seen wildlife; it’s a fusion of maharajas, temples, lions, tigers, and tropical escapes—all while flying in ultimate comfort and safety aboard our private jet,” explains Bushtracks founder David Tett.
Learn from a National Geographic Explorer
Visit Oman's National Museum for an introduction to the country’s heritage and join archeologist and National Geographic Explorer Dr. Jeff Rose at the spectacular Wadi Tanuf gorge. Conclude the experience at the breathtaking 6,500 feet high Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar, one of the highest luxury resorts in the world. It features rejuvenating hammam rituals and a stargazing platform.
Glamp with Camels in Oman
Ride camels and glamp under the stars in the majestic desert scape of Sharqiya Sands. As sunset bathes the rippling dunes in golden hues, recount the day’s adventures beneath glittering constellations that have guided nomadic tribes since ancient times.
Glimpse traditional ways of life
Meet the Bedouin (“desert dwellers”), nomadic travelers and once the Holy Land's primary inhabitants. Behold the Maasai warrior’s distinctive culture, rituals, and 'high jumping dance' in Kenya’s Masai Mara.
The Majesty of Rajasthan, India
Travel to Jaipur, the Royal City in the Rajasthan region of India, and discover majestic forts and extravagant palaces interspersed with the bustle of bazaars and passing rickshaws. After a Royal Welcome in a nineteenth-century palace, revel in a Grand Rajasthani Soiree.
Once the hunting ground of royalty, Ranthambore National Park was designated a Bengal Tiger Reserve in the early 1970s. Discover 500 square miles of dense jungle, golden savanna, dramatic cliffs, and lotus-filled lakes with ancient ruins of palaces and temples. Prepare to be spoiled at The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort.
In Udaipur, enjoy an exclusive lake cruise at sunset and tour the largest palace complex in Rajasthan before staying at the iconic Taj Lake Palace that seemingly floats amid Lake Pichola.
Hop to a Tropical Island
Fly to Mahé, the largest of the 115 Seychelles islands, a remote archipelago in the sparkling blue Indian Ocean. Each luxurious villa boasts an ocean-facing infinity pool and sunken outdoor tub.
Masai Mara Safari and Ancient Sailing Vessel
Like traders of old, follow the trade winds across the Indian Ocean to East Africa and begin the daily cadence of a morning and afternoon game drive in search of epic big cats and majestic elephants. Then journey to the Swahili Coast where a secluded island in the Lamu Archipelago awaits. Visit Lamu Old Town, the oldest and best-preserved Swahili settlement in East Africa (and a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and explore the neighboring islands on the majestic Tusitiri dhow, a traditional sailing vessel.
