Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

Globus is one of the world's leading tour companies, with more than 80 years of experience in planning expertly crafted itineraries for travel around the world. Along with sister-brand Monograms, Globus offers a diverse selection of safaris in East and Southern Africa.

Right now, the Globus family of brands is offering Vacations To Go customers two ways to save on a memorable vacation in Africa. Click the links for dates and prices.

Save $500 per couple ($250 per person) off select Tanzania departures with Globus.

Save up to $1,850 per person off certain Monograms trips in East Africa when you book a group of three to six travelers and your booking includes multiple hotel properties of the same brand.

Throughout your safari, you'll benefit from the experience and expertise of a professional driver/guide (in East Africa) or ranger/game tracker (in South Africa). Globus' escorted vacations also include the services of a Tour Director during the trip, with no more than 20 travelers per departure.

In East Africa, take in the best of Kenya and Tanzania with Globus, including all the major game parks, plus some lesser-known preserves. You might also visit a chimp sanctuary in Kenya, home to orphaned and abused chimpanzees. During a visit to a local Samburu or Maasai village, you can learn about the culture and day-to-day life of the people who live there. Or, enjoy a memorable breakfast in the bush in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania or Amboseli National Park in Kenya.

On Globus' South Africa safaris, you might stay at a private game reserve adjacent to Kruger National Park. Staying in a private reserve allows travelers to experience night game drives, walking safaris and off-road animal tracking. These trips also include time in Johannesburg, with visits to Soweto township and the unforgettable Apartheid Museum; and Cape Town, where you might visit Cape Point Nature Reserve or a colony of endangered African penguins. In Zimbabwe, you can enjoy a guided walk at Victoria Falls while staying at the closest hotel to the falls.

Monograms specializes in independent vacations, offering the convenience of pre-packaged travel with plenty of flexibility for those who prefer to explore on their own. On a safari in East Africa, travelers will be in private vehicles with only members of their own party. In cities visited during non-safari portions of their trip, Monograms travelers can rely on the help of a Local Host for advice on things like restaurants and local sites and attractions. Daily, year-round departures and a choice of hotels, lodges and tented camps ensure maximum flexibility for those choosing a Monograms safari.
