    Hello Jo jo,

    The State Department has announced that 19 embassies and consulates in the Middle East and Africa will be closed throughout the week “out of an abundance of caution” in the wake of terror threats. All of Tauck’s African itineraries visit the southern countries of Africa and are not directly part of affected closures of U.S Embassies and Consulates at this time.

    The global travel alert to Americans remains in place until August 31. Tauck continues to monitor the situation closely, we are in constant contact with our suppliers and security sources. We continue to operate as scheduled in all of our international destinations.

    We ask that all guests, as always, practice safe travel measures and be aware of your surroundings at all time whenever traveling abroad or domestic.

    The most current Travel Alerts/Warnings can be views at the U.S. State Department Website:
    http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/pa/pa_6042.html


    As always, the safety and security of our guests and employees remain our highest priorities.

    Hope this helps,
    Emily
