2021 SCHEDULE
REGISTER EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!
We are limiting the number of trips we schedule to about half of what we have done in previous years. Our tours often fill quickly, so register early to ensure that you will get space on the tour you want.
Tours in green type have been finalized and are linked to pages with detailed itineraries - just click to see full details!
Tours in gray type are tentative or in final planning stages. These are subject to change and could be eliminated from the schedule.
We have TWO trips to sub-Saharan Africa scheduled for 2021: South Africa in October/November and Mozambique in November/December. Although these tours are scheduled with 5 days between the two, it is possible for you to take both tours with a short break between them. The time between the two tours is a good time to get some rest, do some laundry, and perhaps do a bit of exploring on your own. We can assist you in finding lodging and even schedule some activities for the days and nights between the two tours. If you'd rather have some extra time in Africa without the break between tours, we can offer a tour to a different African country immediately before or after either of these tours for those who wish to extend their African stay. The Beckmans will accompany only the two listed here. If you are interested in travel to a different country in southern Africa in 2021, please see our scheduled departures through Cheepers! AFRICA:

Our 2021 schedule is dependent upon the status of the Covid 19 pandemic near the time of departure. Many countries are refusing to allow US citizens to enter because our infection rate is high and the virus is still spreading in most states. If we are forced to cancel / postpone your tour, we will contact you regarding options. All tours from June 2021 through January 2022 have already been rescheduled.
