“We have seen increased demand in tours to Southern and Eastern Africa,” said Ana Rooney, vice president of product design at Collette. “Collette has been designing inclusive African safari tours for more than three decades, immersing travellers 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 travellers to a less explored part of Africa for a more sustainable approach.” Rooney added, “Travellers that love exploring Europe will enjoy our new ‘Portugal’s Old World Charms’ tour featuring the Douro Valley, Alentejo, and Lisbon;. we tailored this experience specifically for travellers 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 travellers’ experience.”
