October 13th - October 23rd, 2025

From Zagreb to Dubrovnik, we’ll explore the best of the best when it comes to this southeastern European gem. And since this gorgeous country is surrounded by delightful neighbors, we’ll explore a few of them too - Bosnia Herzegovina and Montenegro! Our Croatia small group tour is filled with beauty for us to soak in, photograph, and marvel. We’ve custom built this adventure to experience the highlights of Croatia and her neighbors including some of the country’s amazing islands just off the coast.

• 9 nights/10 days throughout the best of Croatia and her stunning neighbors (Bosnia Herzegovina & Montenegro)
• Charming boutique hotels
• Breakfast daily
• Welcome/Farewell Dinners, & 1 lunch included
• Privately guided tours throughout
• City tours of Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Mostar, Montenegro

Croatia

• Zagreb: We’ll explore the capital of Croatia via a panoramic bus and walking tour of the historical and photogenic highlights (Trg Bana Jelacica (“main square”, Fruit Market, St. Markus Church)
• Plitvice Lakes National Park: Oldest park in Southeast Europe & an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Witness more than 16 lakes lined up and separated by natural limestone barriers. The lakes are among pristine forests and renowned for their distinctive colors, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. The colors change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight. So many incredible photographs to be taken in here!
• Trogir: Explore the picturesque city known as “The Stone Beauty”, a charming stone town under the protection of UNESCO which takes pride in their fascinating Romanesque cathedral, churches, towers and beautiful palaces. With 2300 years of tradition, its rich culture was created under the influence of old Greeks, Romans, & Venetians. We’ll stay in a charming, family owned, boutique hotel built within a historical Baroque palace in heart of Trogir!
• Split: The second largest city in Croatia and “the capital of Dalmatia” has gradually developed around the palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian built more than 1,700 years ago. The entire old city of Split has been built within the walls of the UNESCO world heritage site, Diocletian Palace, making this historical center unique. From Diocletian’s cellars to the market (pjaca), to the sunny sea promenade (riva), and past the fish-market all the way to the theatre - morning, day and night in Split encompasses the real atmosphere of a typical Mediterranean city.
• Dubrovnik: One of the world’s treasures; a fact that was officially recognized when the United Nations declared this medieval town as a World Cultural Heritage site. Its fortresses, imposing walls surrounding the city, palaces, churches, and small streets form a perfect harmony with the natural surroundings. Our tour includes visits to the Franciscan Monastery with Europe’s oldest pharmacy, the Cathedral with its famous Treasury, and Rector’s Palace, the former seat of government in the Dubrovnik Republic.

Bosnia Herzegovina:

Mostar: As we continue south we’ll take a slight detour across the border to Bosnia & Herzegovina’s wonderland town of Mostar. Along the way awaits another mystical waterfall, not only superb for photos but swimming too! A short walk down a windy road & staircase takes us to Kravice Falls. About 80 feet high and 390 feet long, this delightful cascade is a welcomed surprise at the end of a walk through light forest.

All cooled off, we’ll finally arrive in Mostar, most famous for a beautiful Ottoman-style bridge which spans the Neretva river in the historic center of the city. “Stari Most” frames the colorful buildings and mosques that tumble down the cliffs of Old Town as the river rushes underneath it. It is obvious that Mostar is arguably this country’s most beautiful “city”. It is charming and pristine. In fact, it’s bizarrely pristine for a city famous for being all but destroyed during the war. A wide variety of delicious multi-ethnic restaurants & awesome bakeries/cafes dot the streets with brilliant views of the bridge. Eat, drink great local coffee, and take pictures.

Montenegro:

Often called “The Pearl of the Mediterranean”, Montenegro might be the only place in the world where you can find so much natural wealth & beauty in such a compact area, including pretty beaches, blue lakes, rushing rivers, and gorgeous mountains.

Kotor: This medieval walled town on the coast is situated in the Bay of Kotor. It’s world-famous for the maze of streets, unique history, & dramatic defense walls encircling the town as it winds up and around the massive mountain overlooking the city. A privately guided walking tour will take us throughout the best parts of Kotor for a day filled with awesome pictures, culture, and history.

• Free time throughout to explore on our own
• A range of optional excursions excellent for photography (Farm to table settings, off the path dinner at family farm in mountainous countryside, walk Dubrovnik city walls, bike/wine tours, etc.)

Imagine the thrill of setting foot in a land where the untamed beauty of nature unfolds before your eyes—Kenya, a destination where adventure, culture, and wildlife converge in a spectacular symphony.

From the vast savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the rugged peaks of Mount Kenya, this East African gem offers an unforgettable safari experience like no other.

Venture into the heart of the wild, where lions prowl the golden plains, elephants roam freely, and cheetahs race across the horizon. The world-famous Maasai Mara, home to the Great Migration, promises a front-row seat to one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles. Beyond wildlife, Kenya's rich cultural tapestry awaits—meet the Maasai warriors, learn about the traditions of the Samburu, or relax back at the luxury lodge with a frosty beverage in your hand.

Kenya’s allure lies in its magic, where every moment promises the adventure of a lifetime. Ready to experience it for yourself? Your unforgettable safari awaits. The parks you will visit include...

Maasai Mara
World-renowned for the breathtaking spectacle of ‘the greatest wildlife show on earth’, the awe inspiring annual migration of the wildebeest, the Mara is Kenya’s most visited protected area. Technically an extension of Tanzania’s renowned Serengeti National Park, the Mara constitutes only 4% of the entire Serengeti ecosystem but its rolling grasslands, meandering rivers, and towering escarpments offer one of the world’s most rewarding and evocative wildlife arenas. Of all the places to experience and photograph the Big Five in their natural stomping grounds, the Mara stands alone as king of the parks.

Aberdare National Park & Mt Kenya
Ringed by the chill and misty moorlands of the third highest mountain range in Kenya, the atmospheric Aberdare National Park was dubbed ‘Scotland with Lions’ by the early colonialists. As well as lions, the park also offers elephants, lichen-hung forests, spectacular waterfalls and trout-filled streams.

The Rugged Three: Samburu, Shaba, & Buffalo Springs National Reserve
Beautiful natural springs and lush green in the middle of an otherwise arid landscape, these rugged and remote wildlife reserves provide some of the best and most colorful game viewing in the country.

Lake Nakuru National Park
Small in size but high in wildlife, Nakuru is the most famous of the Great Rift Valley lakes, and the ideal stopover en-route to the Maasai Mara. Perhaps most famous as the home to a shifting population of over an enormous amount of flamingos, it's also Kenya’s first and largest rhino sanctuary; sightings of both black and white rhino almost guaranteed!
