Alaska Explorer Safari

~ CELEBRATING THE SPIRIT OF OUR COMPANY'S BEGINNINGS, WE PROUDLY PRESENT A VERY SPECIAL VERSION OF OUR ORIGINAL TRIP ~

A special "Limited Edition" trip with two select departures for 2010! Explore your way through Alaska's diverse wilderness in style. This nine-day safari is our original "adventure with a shower" trip. Visit our original Kenai Riverside Lodge, the wilderness of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge (we've replaced the original trip's tent camping with two nights at our highly acclaimed Kenai Backcountry Lodge), and an in-depth deluxe camping adventure in Denali National Park. You'll camp in comfort, as our guides do all the work--simply enjoy the unique wilderness immersion.
