Gondwana Ecotours’10-day Great Migration Serengeti Safari offers travelers a chance to witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration while actively contributing to the preservation of local communities and the environment.
(Homer, Alaska) — Gondwana Ecotours is proud to announce its 10-day Great Migration Serengeti Safari, an extraordinary journey into the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness. This adventure transcends the typical safari experience, offering travelers a chance to witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration while actively contributing to the preservation of local communities and the environment. This tour is designed for those who seek not just adventure, but a meaningful connection with the land and its people.
“This Great Migration Serengeti Safari is designed to minimize its environmental footprint, featuring activities that operate sustainably and contribute to the preservation of the Serengeti’s delicate ecosystem,” said Gondwana Ecotours Founder Jared Sternberg. “We work closely with local partners who share their commitment to environmental stewardship, and travelers are educated on the importance of cultural and environmental stewardship, empowering them to become responsible ambassadors for the planet. This safari is more than a wildlife spectacle; it’s a transformative experience that demonstrates how travel can be a force for good.”
A cornerstone of this safari, priced starting at $7,495 per person, is theexclusive access it provides to a Maasai community where Gondwana Ecotours is the only operator visiting. This isn’t a staged cultural performance, but an authentic opportunity to engage with a traditional way of life. Travelers are welcomed into the village, where they’ll learn about the Maasai’s deep connection to the land, their enduring traditions, and their vital role in local conservation efforts. This immersive experience fosters genuine understanding and respect, creating lasting memories and a profound appreciation for Maasai culture.
“Guests don’t just witness the Great Migration—they gain a deeper understanding of the challenges facing the Maasai people, wildlife, and the Serengeti ecosystem,” said Sternberg. “As part of the experience, Gondwana donates on behalf of each traveler to Friends of Serengeti, which funds initiatives that address conservation, vocational programs, human-wildlife conflict, and habitat protection.”
Gondwana Ecotours’ commitment to responsible tourism goes beyond cultural immersion. The company is dedicated to giving back, ensuring that every journey contributes to the well-being of the communities visited. A significant portion of tour revenue is directed towards carefully selected local nonprofits that support sustainable development and conservation initiatives. Furthermore, Gondwana prioritizes partnerships with local businesses, micro-businesses, and nonprofits that champion environmental practices, fostering a network of sustainable tourism.
“From eliminating 600+ single-use plastic bottles per trip to working with a locally owned operator that pays above-average wages, every element of this tour is designed to reduce impact and uplift local communities,” said Sternberg.

The tour, Women-Only Salkantay & Sacred Valley 7 Day Tour to Machu Picchu, was created through the company’s commitment to empowering women through exploration and cultural immersion.

A Backroads private Canadian bike tour (photo: Backroads)
Berkeley, CA – Backroads, a leader in active travel, introduced Private Reserve, a collection of trips and dates available exclusively for private bookings for a limited time, through December 31. These hand-picked Biking, Walking & Hiking and Multi-Adventure trips offer departures for the company’s most sought-after European locations during the highly requested travel months in the fall. Destinations include Portugal’s Algarve & Alentejo, Spanish Pyrenees to Costa Brava, German & Austrian Alps, Scottish Highlands, the Dolomites and Basque Country.
Backroads Private Reserve caters to the unique needs of private groups, giving them first access to some of the company’s most popular European trips before opening the dates to the public. With competition for travel dates—especially in September—at an all-time high, Backroads decided to offer a block of departures solely for private bookings.
The company has been running trips for private groups for over four decades and recognizes the logistics involved in coordinating and booking a trip for multiple people with different schedules. Private Reserve gives private groups more options for active travel and more time to get members onboard, and offers a remarkable experience for groups, including smaller parties.
While Backroads has over 6,000 dates available for booking, more people than ever are choosing to go private and these new dates are expected to fill fast.
Private Reserve trips for 2025 are available for booking now through December 31, 2024; on January 1, 2025, any unreserved dates will open to the general public.
“We know the effort it takes to corral your private group, choose a destination and settle on a workable date. We also know what it feels like when everything finally comes together, only to fall apart when you discover that trip has been booked by someone else in the meantime,” said Backroads Founder, President and CEO Tom Hale.
“We created Private Reserve to give private groups first crack at those hard-to-get locations and dates—especially those coveted September departures—giving organizers a little more breathing room and less competition for preferred dates. And with our online private trips search tool, reserving that ideal date for your group is a snap.”

Backroads was founded in 1979 by Tom Hale and has been a leading innovator in active and adventure travel for over 45 years, offering expertly planned active adventures highlighting the unique character of each destination. The company offers multiple ways to go active: Biking, Walking & Hiking and Multi-Adventure tours; Private Trips, Women’s Adventures and Family Trips designed for three distinct age groups: Families with Kids & Teens (best for ages 7–17; all kids 4+ welcome); Families with Older Teens & 20s (for ages 17+; younger siblings 14+ welcome); and Families with Young Adults 20s & Beyond (for ages 20+; younger siblings 17+ welcome), plus Active Ocean & River Cruises and Dolce Tempo trips for travel at a more relaxed pace but still decidedly active. Backroads also offers Safari, Culinary, Home Base and Snow Adventures. For more information, visit backroads.com or call 800-462-2848.
