MARCH / USA
Iconic Mardi Gras New Orleans
6 DAYS , NEW ORLEANS A six day fully guided tour , led by your Chief Experience Officer ( tour guide ), to celebrate the USA ’ s only Mardi Gras .
Beads , beer and blues music , New Orleans ’ Mardi Gras is a chaotic explosion of celebration , with music and mayhem pulsating from every crack in the brickwork . With over 1000 revellers and more than 30 flamboyant floats , joyous chaos abounds . Saloon style bars shake to the throb of rhythm and people , with everyone letting off steam before Lent . Mardi Gras is French for ' Fat Tuesday ' and symbolises the last day of indulging before fasting . But with G Adventures you have six full days to spoil your taste buds ; this is Cajun country , so get acquainted with lively flavours . Lock lips with an infamous beignet at Café du Monde in the French Quarter and descend on the bakeries , open predawn , for a traditional Mardi Gras ‘ King Cake ’. These gluttonous treats are ring-shaped and frosted . Inside there ’ s a tiny plastic baby – find it and tradition insists you have to buy next year ’ s cake .
JULY-AUGUST / TANZANIA / KENYA
Serengeti Migration Safari
9 DAYS , ARUSHA An annual migration of epic proportions . And memories just as immense .
Considered one of the world ' s most profound events , witnessing the annual wildebeest migration from the Serengeti Park in Tanzania to Kenya ' s Maasai Mara reserve is undisputedly , an experience of a lifetime . These are sights you may never observe again . A 1200-mile odyssey made by wildebeest , zebra and smaller ( yet equally ambitious ) creatures , you expect to be bowled over by their quest , but you ’ ll be equally astonished by the terrain . Vast swathes of rain fall over a never-ending horizon and the savanna , barren yet beautiful , is a kingdom ruled solely by animals . From the Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park , with G Adventures you ’ ll explore grasslands and grazing grounds , remote Maasai villages and boundless safari plains . By daybreak you ’ ll be tracking the Big Five , by lunchtime you ’ re dining with a local family . And by the ninth day you ’ ll have participated in one of nature ’ s greatest journeys . This one trumps everything . PRICE : FROM NZ $ 6439p p
