North America’s longest-running

Ana Rooney, vice president of product design at Collette
said in a statement, “We have seen increased demand in tours to Southern and
Eastern Africa,” said. “Collette has been designing inclusive African safari
tours for more than three decades, immersing travelers in wildlife, nature,
culture, and landscapes that make Africa a must on so many bucket lists. Our
new ‘Namibia & South Africa: Epic Landscapes & Wildlife’ tour brings
travelers to a less explored part of Africa for a more sustainable approach.”
Rooney added, “Travelers that love exploring Europe will
enjoy our new ‘Portugal’s Old World Charms’ tour featuring the Douro Valley,
Alentejo, and Lisbon as we tailored this experience specifically for travelers
who want to explore all of these trending spots. Also, California is often at
the top of North American destinations and in taking a more regional focus, we
added our new ‘Sequioa & Kings Canyon National Parks’ tour to offer a new
perspective of these national treasures, becoming immersed in the state’s
natural beauty through these two parks. Every new tour is handcrafted by
destination experts – like all of our tours.
There’s no middleman between our brand promise and our travelers’
experience.”
