2021 PRIVATE JET JOURNEYS Unique Itineraries
Small Groups • 16 – 18 Days • Incredible Value
A Compendium of Explorations & Cultural Connections. Let the Adventure Begin
Dear Travel Friends, We are pleased to present to you a preview of four distinct and discerning Private Jet Journeys for 2021. Each trip has been carefully designed to show you extraordinary sights, some of which are quite off-thebeaten-track, with Suite Accommodations in remarkable properties and in just 16 -18 days – the ideal travel time for many people. The Private Jet Aircrafts offer you luxury leather club seating for maximum comfort, hand-selected crew for the excellent service for which we are known, and innovative gourmet cuisine that is chef prepared with flavors representing the places visited along the way. By using a private jet, we can offer you exclusive itineraries with direct flights, usually only a few hours and no more than six. In addition, you’ll note that we have added stops for sightseeing between destinations. A touch down in Skopje, Macedonia to see Mother Teresa’s home and Palma de Mallorca to view the remarkable Royal Palace of La Almudaina. These are only possible on a private jet journey. There are two very different itineraries for Europe, one for Africa, including Madagascar, and one World Journey. You’ll find a variety of experiences – wildlife, cultural, architectural, and historic – and there are private encounters with artists and experts in their fields. As you review each program, please keep in mind that membership is limited to 15 to 18 participants which is unlike any other private jet trip offered by other companies. The Lakani Dine by Choice allows you to personalize your experience. Lakani’s signature Luggage One-Touch means you’ll not need to worry about your suitcases from the time you join the tour until you leave at the end of the journey. We hope that one or more of the journeys outlined within this brochure appeals to you and your sense of adventure. If that is the case, please contact your preferred travel advisor or our office as quickly as possible. With the small group size of 15 - 18 guests per departure, an optimum travel length, and the exclusivity of the accommodations, these are all features that are favored most by today’s discerning traveler and is the reason why each trip sells out quickly. So please make sure to reserve your spot early to avoid disappointment. We look forward to welcoming you on board. With best traveling wishes,
Heidi Lakani Heidi Lakani President

Intimate Group Size For Exclusive Cultural Encounters
Lakani learned a long time ago the value of traveling in small groups (15 – 18 travelers). It makes it possible to stay in boutique hotels/ lodges and allows suites accommodations for all. Become immersed in the sights in your window seat on your small luxury vehicle. And you’ll be totally spoiled with such a small group with whom to share your guide and tour manager. You’ll enjoy private parties, exclusive cultural encounters, and behind the scenes experiences.
Luxuriate In Sumptuous Suites

You can be sure that you will be comfortable, secure, and will have an extraordinary experience.
Enchanting Encounters Along the Way
There is something very special about conversing with a local artist or chef as you watch them work their magic in their craft. Or perhaps it is getting to visit with a local tribe and learning about their fascinating traditions. Lakani knows that these extraordinary moments are likely to be some of the most unforgettable on your vacation, so it is important to include as many opportunities as possible.
