Costa Rica
Wildlife abounds in a stunning variety of habitats from the gorgeous, lush Caribbean coast, and, with its annual arrival of green sea turtles nesting on its sandy beaches and the cloud forests of the central highlands, has so much to offer.

Independent since 1847, Ticos (citizens of Costa Rica) have enjoyed the most stable democratic government in Latin America for decades — ever since disbanding their army in 1949. Their focus on “¡Pura Vida!” has resulted in Costa Rica consistently being named one of the happiest countries in the world. While pura vida can be translated as “pure” or “simple” life, the words defy a basic translation. Some describe pura vida as an emotion or an attitude. To others, it’s a way to describe their way of life. To truly understand pura vida, you must visit Costa Rica and experience it for yourself.

Indonesia
Safari on a live-aboard kloktok, a traditional Indonesian wooden boat, in the rivers of Kalimantan in Borneo to see orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and rhinoceros hornbill. Trek the rainforests of Gunung Leuser National Park in Sumatra to see Sumatran orangutans, elephants, and other wildlife. Spend a few nights on a wooden sailboat touring Komodo National Park to see the impressive Komodo dragons, thousands of flying foxes (fruit bats), walk along a pink beach, and snorkel with manta rays. And you can visit Raja Ampat, one of the best diving locations in the world. There are also thousands of wonderful beaches and coral reefs offering world class snorkeling.

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago — consisting of over 17,000 islands, it offers a remarkable diversity of experience, providing all the ingredients for an epic adventure with plenty of scenery, culture, and extraordinarily diverse wildlife.

Sri Lanka
Venture into the heart of Wilpattu National Park, a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. From elusive leopards to majestic elephants, this pristine wilderness promises exhilarating encounters with nature’s wonders. Continue on to the awe-inspiring Sigiriya, which boasts the resplendent Sigiriya Rock Fortress, an ancient marvel that offers panoramic vistas of the lush landscape below. Travel back in time in Galle with the colonial architecture and vibrant streets of this coastal gem.

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty, natural wonders, and cultural treasures of Sri Lanka. Join us on a voyage of discovery, where every moment promises wonder and amazement.

Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is one of Africa’s most exciting wildlife destinations led by Hwange National Park, most known for the impressive concentration of elephants that are attracted to the park’s waterholes during the dry season. It is also a great location to see the elusive painted dog (African Wild Dog) that numbers less than 3,500 in Africa.

The Matobo Hills — known for its range of balancing rock formations created by erosion of the granite plateau — is where our journey begins. It is home to Stone Age rock art, a significant population of both black and white rhinos, and the grave of Cecil Rhodes — the founder of Rhodesia (the British colony now Zimbabwe). The adventure unfolds all the way to the magnificent Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, where we will have a scenic helicopter flight over the falls and a sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi River. We hope you can join the Oklahoma City Zoo on this epic wildlife safari!
