Tauck has opened bookings for its full 2027 Global Journeys & Safaris portfolio, marking a milestone 25 years of African safaris and reaffirming its long‑term commitment to the people, wildlife and landscapes at the heart of its trips. The family‑owned tour company is expanding its collection of shorter‑format safaris and worldwide journeys, an approach that has strongly resonated with both first‑time and loyal guests seeking immersive experiences in less time. Travellers can explore the full collection on the official Tauck website.
2027 Global Journeys & Safaris Now Open
Tauck’s 2027 portfolio spans land journeys, African safaris, European river cruises and small ship ocean itineraries, curated with its hallmark blend of insider access and seamless logistics. The new program builds on the success of Tauck’s 11 existing safari itineraries—which consistently rank among its highest‑rated journeys—and responds to record demand for shorter, highly focused wildlife and cultural experiences. CEO Jennifer Tombaugh highlights that 25 years of safaris in Africa have been shaped by deep partnerships with conservation organisations, local communities and guides, all supported through the company’s Tauck Impact efforts.
Shorter African Safaris for Time‑Poor Wildlife Lovers
Tauck’s growing range of shorter African safaris is designed for travellers who want rich, wildlife‑intensive itineraries without committing to longer time away. New for 2026, Spotlight on South Africa and Victoria Falls is a nine‑day journey that begins with three nights in Cape Town, including Table Mountain and Cape Point, followed by three nights of game drives in the Greater Kruger Area at Kapama River Lodge and two nights at Victoria Falls. This itinerary joins established favourites such as Tanzania: Serengeti to Zanzibar, a 10‑day expedition from Arusha to Zanzibar through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, and Tanzania: A Grand Family Safari, a 10‑day multi‑generational Tauck Bridges journey with experiences like a sunrise hot‑air balloon over the Serengeti and visits to local schools.
Shorter Global Journeys: Australia and Beyond
Beyond Africa, Tauck is applying the same shorter‑format philosophy to global land journeys that maximise depth in a compact timeframe. Spotlight on Australia is a 10‑day itinerary that links Melbourne’s cultural scene, the spiritual landscapes of Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney’s harbour icons, all connected by three private charter flights that minimise transit time and maximise time on the ground. This mirrors Tauck’s broader strategy of designing journeys that pair strong storytelling and expert local guides with efficient routing, helping guests experience more in each day without feeling rushed.
Tauck Impact: Travel with Purpose in Africa and Worldwide
As Tauck celebrates 25 years of safaris, its Tauck Impact initiative underscores a commitment to responsible travel that benefits both destinations and local communities. In southern Africa, Tauck partners with the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust, which protects vulnerable wildlife and supports nearby communities through rescue, rehabilitation and conservation science—removing snares, treating injured animals and reaching more than 1,200 local participants, including hundreds of students, through education programs. In northern Tanzania, the Save the Rain collaboration has brought rain‑harvesting systems to hundreds of households and schools, dramatically improving access to clean water, reducing water‑borne illness and helping more girls remain in school.
Tauck extends similar community‑based partnerships across its global portfolio, from conservation education in South America to clean water initiatives in Southeast Asia. In Cambodia, where Tauck operates The Mekong, Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia itinerary, the company works with organisations such as APOPO and Just a Drop, and in 2027 the journey will feature a three‑night cruise aboard the luxury Aqua Mekong, offering an intimate window into life along the river.
