Our first Africa Safari sold out before it even made it to the website. Because of that, we have opened a second and final departure for May 9 to 25, 2027.
This is one of those trips people talk about doing someday. Four countries in one journey, incredible wildlife, and some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet.
We begin in Cape Town, a city that truly lives up to the hype. Set between the ocean and Table Mountain, it is easily one of the most stunning cities in the world. From there, the experience shifts into something completely different as you head into the heart of Africa.
You will spend four nights at the intimate Kaza Lodge along the Zambezi River, followed by four nights aboard the Zimbabwean Dream, a small and elegant ship designed for just 16 guests. This is a very personal and immersive way to experience Africa, not a large group tour.
Along the way, you will explore South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, with unforgettable wildlife encounters and landscapes that feel untouched. You will also stand before Victoria Falls, one of the most powerful waterfalls on earth.
With only 16 total spots, this trip will fill quickly.
If Africa has been on your list, this is the trip to do it right. https://www.defineddestinations.com/2ndgrand-southern-africa-safari

Looking for a summertime escape to historic villages and breathtaking scenery? Then join us on our Best of Croatia Tour!
📅 June 9–20, 2026 (we also have an October departure)
Discover Croatia through its history, landscapes, and coastlines — starting in the elegant capital of Zagreb, followed by the waterfalls and emerald lakes of Plitvice Lakes National Park.
Then, step aboard a small luxury ship to cruise the stunning Dalmatian Coast, sailing into ports that large ships simply can’t reach. Wander the historic streets of Hvar, once a powerful Venetian naval base, explore Korčula, believed to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, and end in breathtaking Dubrovnik — the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” famed for its medieval walls and centuries of maritime history.
This is Croatia at its best — rich in culture, incredibly scenic, and experienced at a relaxed pace.
Space is limited, and a few cabins are still available. https://www.defineddestinations.com/bestofcroatia2026

This is not just a trip. This is a moment in history.

In 2026, the town of Assisi will be honoring St. Francis, marking 800 years since his death — and we’ll be there to experience it together.

We’re staying two nights in Assisi, giving you the rare chance to truly take part in this meaningful remembrance, not just pass through (4 nights Rome 2 nights Assisi & 3 nights in Tuscany).

From Rome to Assisi to Tuscany, this journey is filled with beauty and purpose, including the opportunity to attend a papal audience with Pope Leo (if he is in the city), unforgettable food, and centrally located hotels that place you right in the heart of Italy.
We still have space to join us, and May is one of the best times to visit Italy — ideal temperatures, spring landscapes, and fewer crowds.
With fewer than 20 guests, this is an intimate escape designed for those who want more than just sightseeing.
📅 May 3–13, 2026
Escape to Italy and be part of something truly special.
