Join us on our
flagship journey
by private jet.
    With the rollout of the vaccine and the hopeful return to international travel, Tulane Alumni
    Travel is excited to invite you on the journey of a lifetime. This trip will take you to nine legendary
    destinations that are as timeless as they are iconic. And it is filled with UNESCO World Heritage
    sites, natural wonders and cultural highlights.

    The 24-day itinerary allows you to travel on a private jet with flatbed seats; you will also have
    unique lodging options like a luxury tented camp under the stars in Wadi Rum or a captivating,
    Bedouin-inspired experience at the foot of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. This trip also includes
    Jaipur as an additional destination and more time in the Serengeti.

    In these unprecedented times, the benefits of traveling by private jet have become even more
    desirable. Fewer people per plane, a more controlled environment, access to smaller airports,
    private or expedited customs and immigration, and the ability to make changes and pivot up to
    the last minute are all hallmarks of traveling by private jet and are now more critical than ever.

    Besides, the trip is brought to you by a qualified company with a cross-functional internal team.
    In weekly consultation with expert physicians at Boston MD, they continue developing and
    refining health and safety operations based on evolving best practices. Also, the team will be
    monitoring destinations throughout the expedition. If they find an increased risk in any of the
    countries we are scheduled to visit, they can change the itinerary as needed, even while on the
    trip. That is the beauty of private jet travel.

    You will travel with an experienced team of expedition leaders, a dedicated flight crew, and a
                                                                                                              Travel with Confidence
