Declare Your Independence
Your time is precious and your vacation should be all you have dreamed about and more! Traveling on a Lakani Pre- Designed Private Independent Journey allows you to explore the world’s most remarkable destinations with just the right amount of flexibility and personalization. Savor each site at your own pace. Enjoy superb accommodations carefully selected by the Lakani experts. With decades of experience, the Lakani team crafts exquisite and meaningful worldwide journeys; you can be confident knowing that all details are in order. Your trip has been thoroughly researched and planned so all that is left for you to do is pick your tour, choose your dates of travel and add a few personal touches to make it truly your own. Then relax and enjoy these benefits:
• Spacious vehicles with your own window seat and room to spread out • Access to luxurious boutique hotels and lodges, some with only a dozen rooms or suites that only cater to individuals and small parties • Special insights from expert local private guides • Optimal sightseeing opportunities – with special access not available to large groups
2 Call your travel professional or Lakani at (888) 565-5554 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!
Visit our website: www.lakani.com 3 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.
