Why choose a National Geographic Private Journey?
Here are 10 good reasons.

1. Travel on your own schedule

Each Private Journey has many departures throughout the year so you can choose the dates that work best for you.

2. It's your journey

Bring your spouse, your whole family, a few friends, or just yourself. We can accommodate you whether you're traveling with one, two, three, or even ten people.

3. Expert-crafted itineraries

We've researched each destination and designed unique itineraries in consultation with our experts and contacts around the world. We've built in many opportunities to get an insider's perspective on the places you're visiting.

4. Your own private guide*

Throughout each journey, you'll be accompanied on walking tours and excursions by top guides who will share their insights and expertise on everything from the sights you're exploring to everyday life.

5. Leave the planning to us

We take care of the details, from booking hotel reservations and arranging scheduled activities to lining up your expert guides and facilitating your airport transfers in comfortable private vehicles. So you are free to fully immerse yourself in the experience.

6. National Geographic experts in the field

Wherever possible, we've arranged meetings with our writers and researchers in the field-which means you get one-on-one time with some of our leading experts in the regions they know intimately.

7. Extraordinary destinations

Our Private Journeys take you to fascinating places that aren't always easy to navigate on your own. You'll have English-speaking guides, and the logistics at even the most far-flung spots will be taken care of before you arrive.

8. Top accommodations

We've selected accommodations that go beyond mere comfort to combine luxury and location with the unique character of a place.

9. Tailored to your interests

Our itineraries include a variety of options, so that you can tailor your trip to your interests. Day to day, we've made sure to balance guided excursions with free time, allowing you to enjoy the spontaneity of exploration.

10. 24-hour support

We've teamed up with Abercrombie & Kent (A&K), a highly regarded tour operator. With A&K's extensive network of on-the-ground staff, you'll have support around the clock, whenever you need it.

* During time on cruises or on safari, you may share a guide with a small group of other travelers. See the About Your Journey section of each trip itinerary for details.
