To celebrate its 107th anniversary, Collette, North America’s longest-running tour operator has launched a brand-new worldwide brochure featuring more than 170 tours.

The brochure highlights 13 new journeys to destinations in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa, designed and led by destination experts.

Debuted Journeys Include:

Namibia & South Africa: Epic Landscapes & Wildlife featuring Etosha and Kruger National Parks & Cape Town 

The 16-day itinerary offers game drives in each country, a journey through the Namib Desert with the world’s largest sand dunes, a Skeleton Coast drive where shipwrecks are plentiful and a home-hosted Capetonian family dinner. 

Portugal’s Old World Charms featuring Douro Valley, Alentejo & Lisbon  

A 10-day itinerary featuring a scenic Douro River Valley cruise with a vineyard stop, a guided walking tour of Evora and visit to an Olive Grove in Alentejo for a farm to table lunch.

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks featuring San Diego & California’s Central Coast

This 10-day itinerary offers a walk-through the massive trees of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, a day exploring Hollywood and wine tasting followed by lunch at a Paso Robles vineyard.

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.”
