Civilized Adventures

Photo:

This Calgary-based luxury outfitter's natural history-focused adventures in Africa, Asia, South America, and Antarctica are either led by naturalists from the Calgary Zoo, astronomers from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, or a representative from the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada. A 2009 trip timed to the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century takes clients on a giant loop through China from Hong Kong to Suzhou, and on to the country's northeast coast for beach time, an ocean-front-hotel stay, and an unobstructed view of the eclipse.
