Globus Expands Asia & Africa Portfolio for 2027 with New Tours, Variations

Guided travel specialist Globus is expanding its Asia and Africa portfolio for 2027 with a line-up of four all-new Small Group Discovery tours, alongside more than two dozen new itinerary variations featuring city stays, beach escapes and destination extensions.

From the temples of Kyoto and bustling streets of Seoul to the game parks of Kenya and coastlines of Zanzibar, Globus is giving travellers more ways – and more time – to experience destinations that reward going deeper. 

“When you’ve travelled halfway around the world, every extra day matters,” said Steve Born, chief marketing officer for the Globus family of brands. 

“Asia and Africa are destinations that reward travellers who slow down and stay awhile. They’re also places where touring truly shines. We handle every detail – from transportation and hotels to insider experiences and local experts – so our guests can spend less time figuring things out and more time being fully present in the places they’ve dreamed of seeing.”

Headlining the 2027 lineup are four all-new itineraries – each destined to take travellers deeper into some of the world’s most extraordinary destinations: 

Legacy of Japan with Hokkaido (13 days). One of the biggest additions for 2027 is the debut of Legacy of Japan with Hokkaido – a Small Group Discovery tour from Tokyo to Kyoto that ventures beyond Japan’s classic highlights into the country’s spectacular northern frontier. 

Designed for small groups, this itinerary pairs iconic cities with hot-spring towns, artisan villages and authentic cultural encounters other itineraries often miss. 

Kenya & Tanzania Safari Expedition (13 days). Also new is Kenya & Tanzania Safari Expedition, an unforgettable safari designed exclusively for Globus’ Small Group Discovery travellers. Guests explore six legendary parks, reserves and conservancies in custom-built safari vehicles, encounter endangered elephants and giraffes, enjoy unforgettable bush meals and connect with local tribal communities.

Namibia: Land of Contrasts with Johannesburg (13 days). Southern Africa also takes center stage with Namibia: Land of Contrasts with Johannesburg, a Small Group Discovery that pairs Johannesburg with Namibia’s dramatic dunes, deserts and wildlife. 

Sri Lanka: Ancient Capitals & Wild Kingdoms (12 days). Rounding out the new Globus introductions is Sri Lanka: Ancient Capitals & Wild Kingdoms, a Small Group Discovery blending ancient UNESCO treasures with extraordinary wildlife encounters.
