THE LAKANI PROMISE

The Lakani World Tours logo is intentional in its design.

The four directional points represents our experience in travel to the far corners of the world, as well as the four fundamental principles which guide each program we create.

While we recognize that quality does not come cheaply, we provide value through our experience and strong relationships with proven suppliers.

EXPLORE THE WORLD THE LAKANI WAY The Luxury of Choice

Your Personal Concierge Experience

It’s your vacation, your valuable time, and you deserve to spend it just as you like. When you travel with Lakani World Tours you enjoy exploring the world in luxury and comfort – in your own way. Choose a Pre-Designed or Custom-Made Independent Travel Experience if you want to choose your own dates and your travel companions. Or, if you would like to travel with an intimate group of like-minded travelers with all-inclusive meals, gratuities, and a Lakani Tour Manager, join a Lakani Small Group Tour. Lakani Private Jet Journeys are also an option for the ultimate touring experience.

For a carefree, stress-free, and worry-free vacation, add a Personal Concierge (PC) to accompany you on your Pre-Designed Travel Experience or on your Custom-Made Journey. An expert Lakani Tour Manager will act as your PC and take care of all the details of traveling. Checking into hotels, tipping, setting up wake up calls, making restaurant reservations, taking care of the luggage, and coordinating with the local guide and driver, are all details that your PC will happily handle, leaving you to simply enjoy your vacation.

Pre-Designed Travel Experiences

Escorted Small Group Tours

We offer you a selection of destinations with remarkable experiences in history, culture, and scenic beauty. The itineraries have been created to allow you optimal sightseeing, superb accommodations, and excellent pricing.

Travel individually, as a couple, with family, or as a group of friends. Just choose your own dates, and we’ll do the rest. The wonderful benefit of traveling independently is the flexibility it allows. Interested in things you see along the way and want to make a stop? Or you need longer to read every sign in the museum? Your private knowledgeable guide and driver will do everything to make sure your experience meets and even exceeds your expectations. You can take the trip as it is shown in the brochure, or change it up with added nights or less nights, or even change hotels. We are sensitive to your time and budget.

We know that there are some occasions when you may prefer to travel on a tour with other like-minded travelers.

Maybe you are traveling as a single and would like the companionship, or perhaps the destination is one where you would appreciate the benefits of a Tour Manager, or you simply want the all-inclusiveness that comes with a Lakani Escorted Small Group Tour. An average group size of 8-14 travelers, including all meals, the Lakani Signature Dine by Choice, services of a Lakani Tour Manager, comprehensive sightseeing with window seats for all - plus much more are included on Lakani Escorted Small Group Tours.

CULINARY EXPLORATION One of the pleasures of traveling is to discover the gastronomy of the region. While having meals included can be a convenience, they often don’t offer what YOU would have chosen. Lakani believes that your choice is important. While some travelers enjoy gourmet, others prefer more simple fare – or perhaps you desire both! Breakfast is always included to start each day of your vacation. In some locations and lodges meals may be included where it makes sense, but usually you have the freedom and flexibility to experience dining in your own unique way.

Indulge in extraordinary service from gourmet, white tablecloth dining; experience regional cuisine at a nearby tavern or bistro; or have a quiet night with room service. The choice is yours.

SAVINGS IN NUMBERS While the pricing for each Pre-Designed Private Independent Experience is based on two people, sharing accommodations, there are benefits to traveling with friends and family. For five or more guests traveling together on one itinerary, each member will receive 10% savings on the base price. Consider a multi-generational trip with the grandchildren.

Traveling together, whether it is to celebrate a momentous occasion – or just because, provides unforgettable memories and cements relationships.

YOUR EXCLUSIVE TRAVEL CLUB You are automatically enrolled in the exclusive Lakani Travel Club after completing your first Lakani journey. In appreciation for your loyalty, you will receive 5% savings off of subsequent trips. We are confident that once you experience a journey with Lakani – whether it is a Private Jet Journey, a Pre-Designed Travel Experience, or a Custom Vacation – you will recognize the hallmark of Lakani excellence embedded into every step you take, and yearn to return for many more Lakani vacations.

DISTINCTIVE LODGING The Lakani Hotels of Choice are a select group of accommodations chosen explicitly with your supreme luxury and comfort in mind. You can be confident that these hand-picked hotels and lodges are continually monitored; each are selected for their character, five-star service, luxurious facilities, fabulous restaurants and premium location. With Lakani, you are always assured that you will stay in the top hotels at each captivating destination. And it does not stop there; you are also guaranteed to enjoy the best category of deluxe rooms available. If your hotel has a room with a view, it has been reserved for you. Naturally, you also have the option to upgrade to a suite where available. Ultimately, we aim to not only meet – but exceed your expectations!

CAPTIVATING WONDERS Delight in precious encounters all along the way. Gaze at the unforgettable wildlife as you soar above the Serengeti or Masai Mara in a beautiful hot air balloon. Enter a local home in Ethiopia and experience traditional cooking. Venture into the Arabian desert for a BBQ dinner with belly dancing entertainment. Voyage across Lake Titicaca to explore the ancient Sun Island.

Cruise Halong Bay and feast your eyes on thousands of limestone islands rising up from the water. Immerse yourself in hill tribe culture on a visit to villages in Northern Thailand. Observe the remarkable colors of the famed Taj Mahal at sunrise and sunset. Discover the ancient Incan “lost city” of Machu Picchu. Gain insight into the scenic wonders in Iceland on a tour of the Golden Circle. Your vacation should be filled with enjoyable and memorable activities. When you travel with Lakani, let us know what is on your bucket list and we’ll endeavor to make it happen on your luxury journey. You also have the added benefit of enjoying these attractions in the company of expert English speaking guides chosen especially for you.

VOLUNTOURISM – REWARDING AND EXPERIENTIAL Lakani believes strongly in giving back to the people who open their homes and hearts to show us their special part of the world. For every finalized booking, Lakani World Tours makes a donation to a local non-profit charitable organization. You also have an opportunity to volunteer in some way to help a community while on tour. This may be as simple as providing and serving breakfast to school children to a more substantial commitment of assisting with home-building or repairs. The options are many and depend on the destination and your own particular interests.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM Lakani is strongly dedicated to the principles of responsible tourism. We endeavor to protect the environment, economy, and the cultures of the destinations that we include in our programs. By creating itineraries to Africa, for instance, we are contributing to the lives of locals who rely on tourism to make a living by working in the lodges and camps. We support those facilities that are increasingly using solar energy to provide power; those that use water filtration systems which reduce the use of plastic bottles; and those properties that encourage preservation of natural resources.

MULTI-GENERATIONAL FAMILY TRAVEL There is nothing like an education on world culture and history while traveling.

Children benefit enormously from encounters with people of varying cultures, buildings unlike anything they see at home, and an exploration into traditions that they may only have heard about in stories. There are many ways to create a child-friendly tour. Some places, like Japan and Kenya especially lend themselves to child-friendly destinations where it is easy to find activities to capture the attention of children of all ages. The Lakani experts are particularly adept at advising on and crafting vacations to suit the whole family, regardless of age, for a life-changing adventure for all.

Parc National Des Volcans Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge You will be met and taken on a scenic 3 hour drive to Parc National des Volcans. The journey north goes through beautiful terraced hillsides that characterize much of Rwanda’s landscape, gradually climbing to the base of the awesome Virunga Volcanoes, sometimes with as many as five peaks visible. You will be driven to the magnificent Governors’ Camp Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge, perfectly situated in the foothills of the mighty Virunga Volcanoes.

Trekking the gorillas on the slopes of the Virungas is a magical experience. When you reach the gorillas you are allowed to spend an hour with them, and often you will be back in time for a late lunch. Some gorilla families however are more elusive, and tracking can take a full day, especially when it is the rainy season. However, falling under the gaze of a great silverback makes any trek seem worth it. Return to the lodge and rest or if arriving back early at the lodge, there are opportunities for bird watching, mountain biking or guided walks around the lodge.

Another primate adventure awaits you in the Virunga heartland. Trekking the golden monkey, a subspecies of blue monkey, found only in the bamboo forests of the volcanic mountain chain that forms a part of the boundary between Rwanda and Uganda. Hiking through dense strands of bamboo interspersed with open glades, your guide will lead you to the habitat of groups of “habituated” golden monkeys who have become accustomed to human presence.

Time permitting, you can visit local community socio-economic and conservation projects run by SACOLA, the community trust that owns the lodge, and by African Wildlife Foundation and its local partner, the International Gorilla Conservation Program and learn about the exceptional work being done by these organizations. Explore the bustling town of Ruhengeri with its vibrant colorful markets and observe their local handicrafts such as basketwork and pottery.
