We recently asked you where you are most excited about traveling on your next international vacation and the results are in.
 
  • A walk on the wild side. Safari destinations like Kenya and Tanzania are on the top of travelers’ wishlists and it’s easy to see why! Exploring the incredibly diverse ecosystems in search of captivating wildlife is a refreshing change from the mundane and repetitive of the last year.

  • Enchanting Europe. The second most popular region was Europe, with its quaint villages, picturesque landscapes, and expansive history. Travelers can’t wait to sip wine along the Douro River, wander the ancient castles of Scotland and watch the sun set below the turquoise Aegean Sea. With so many unique countries and cultures to explore, Europe remains as popular as ever!
 
Entry requirements are easing across the globe as vaccines become more readily available and many destinations are open and waiting for you—putting us one step closer to boarding that plane! So grab your passport, dust off your camera, and get ready! The hardest part will be choosing where to go.

Traveling with the COVID Vaccine
 
While we don’t require the COVID-19 vaccination, all travelers must present either a COVID-19 vaccination record or a negative COVID-19 test result upon arrival in destination (in addition to any documentation required by the airline or destination). This precaution means that you can book confidently knowing you’ll be surrounded by likeminded adventurers who are taking all the necessary precautions to make the tour as safe as possible!

We love to hear from you! Lindsey has travelled with us five times before and we are so glad to welcome her back for an adventure in Egypt soon!

5 stars

Truly a five star company.
"I have travelled with FP five times, and never been disappointed with their attention to quality and detail. If you are looking for first class acomodations, varied and well organised tours, and a company that listens to you from the time of booking to your return home, then try Friendly Planet. I enjoyed my Kenya tour so much, I repeated it with a grateful daughter!"

* Advertised prices may include an "Instant Savings" discount and/or sale discount, available for a limited time. Prices reflect these discounts. Advertised prices are per person, based on double occupancy; single occupancy rooms may be available for an additional charge. Advertised prices are the best available based on the least expensive travel dates, departure city, and other options, and do not include optional excursions or other optional items. Your total price will vary based upon the dates, flights, and other options you select during the booking process.

Prices and availability subject to change. More about our prices.

† The Carefree Booking policy is not travel insurance and only applies to a new booking—defined as booking without the use of funds on file from a previous cancellation. With our Carefree Booking policy, if you book one of our scheduled departures and decide later not to travel for any reason, you can transfer all payments you've made excluding the cost of any issued flight tickets, towards another available departure date or package, with no change fees or penalties.

Alternately, you can choose to receive a future travel credit for all payments made, excluding the cost of any issued flight tickets; or you can choose to receive a refund for that same amount, minus the deposit, per person future travel credit.

You may use these credits anytime, however they must be used or transferred within 5 years of your booking.

The Carefree Booking policy only applies to your original booking—limiting rebookings to one. Subsequent bookings will be subject to standard cancellation penalties. Additionally, any coupon or discount (other than our Instant Savings) does not transfer from the cancelled booking and therefore will not be applied to the new booking.

Travel protection premiums may be credited to your new tour provided: no claim is filed; (no vendor penalties such as Air, sea or rail etc have been incurred); and your new trip departs within 1 year of the cancellation of your original tour.

Valid for bookings made on or after September 23, 2022 Offer may not be available on all packages, including private and custom group departures and Biblical Journeys. Changes or cancellations requested after final payment due date are subject to our regular change and cancellation fees & policies. For more information and some additional restrictions, see our terms & conditions.

†† $199 deposit available on select packages. Valid for new bookings only. Changes to your package, departure date, or flights may require an increased deposit. If you select our optional travel protection plan, the premium will be added to your deposit. See additional terms & conditions.
