Tauck is launching its first exotics brochure in the UK, featuring a collection of luxury land and small ship cruises to some of the most unspoilt corners of the world.

A feature of many excursions is the chance for clients to get closer to the animals and plants they encounter on the way, through access to filmmaking equipment such as night-vision and underwater cameras, motion-activated camera traps and long-range directional microphones. Guests can also view specially-made film vignettes of their destinations, produced and directed for Tauck.

Steve Spivak, Tauck vice president, said: “This is our first exotics brochure for the UK market and it will have immediate appeal for British travellers who have their eye on something different and special in hard-to-reach locations around the globe.

“There’s an inspiring range of exclusive itineraries across Antarctica, Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East and Australia, and the insider access you get on a Tauck tour simply isn’t available anywhere else.”

New exotic Tauck destinations include a trip to see the temples and pagodas in Myanmar, a family safari in Tanzania; a choice of three tours in Costa Rica, including a jungles and rainforests trip and an 11-day tour that features a cruise along the Panama Canal; an 18-day trip in India, including staying at luxury hotels; and a 12-day trip through Dubai and the Arabian Peninsula.
