African Safari: Kenya & Tanzania (October 11 – 25, 2025)

If a safari is on your bucket list, this is the trip you’ve been waiting for. Join Covington Travel’s Personal Travel Consultant, Teri Baumgartner, for an unforgettable African Safari through the wild beauty of Kenya and Tanzania.

From October 11-25, 2025, you’ll journey through some of the most iconic wildlife reserves on Earth, including the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Each day brings new wonders: watch elephants wander through golden plains, witness the dramatic landscapes of East Africa, and marvel at lions lounging under acacia trees. Guided by expert naturalists and staying in hand-selected lodges, this safari is the perfect blend of adventure and comfort.

To make your experience even more extraordinary, you can add a 4-night pre-tour extension in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, known for its vast grasslands and rich Maasai culture. Or choose to unwind afterward with a 4-night post-tour extension in Zanzibar, where white-sand beaches and vibrant island culture offer the perfect balance to your wild adventure.

This once-in-a-lifetime journey offers unmatched access to East Africa’s natural treasures!

Costa Rica: Rainforests, Volcanoes & Coastal Adventures

Costa Rica is a dream destination for outdoor adventure travel enthusiasts and eco-travelers. With over a quarter of the country protected as national parks or reserves, it offers nearly endless opportunities to explore biodiversity up close.

You can start your day spotting toucans and sloths in the cloud forests of Monteverde, then hike the trails of Arenal Volcano National Park, soaking in geothermal hot springs at sunset. On the coast, the adventure continues with world-class surfing, kayaking through mangroves, and snorkeling among coral reefs in Manuel Antonio or Tortuguero.

Costa Rica’s commitment to sustainability makes it ideal for nature lovers who want to experience the wild and help preserve it.

Patagonia: Majestic Landscapes at the End of the Earth

For those who crave raw, remote beauty, Patagonia delivers spectacularly. Patagonia is a land of glaciers, jagged peaks, wind-swept steppes, and endless skies stretching across southern Chile and Argentina.

Trek through the legendary Torres del Paine National Park, where towering granite spires rise above turquoise lakes, or cruise past icebergs in Los Glaciares National Park, home to the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier. Patagonia invites you to disconnect from the everyday and immerse yourself in landscapes untouched by time.

It’s perfect for travelers who don’t mind a little challenge in exchange for some of the most dramatic scenery on Earth.
