Meals & Itinerary

Notes:

Your stay at “Under Canvas” in Livingston will be truly unique as you will be staying in a safari-inspired tented camp. Each tented camp has a private bath that features eco-conscious amenities such pull-chain showers with hot water, sinks that automatically shut off, and low-flow flush toilets. To allow guests to disconnect and feel truly immersed in nature, and to minimize the use of precious resources, there is not electricity nor outlets in the tents. However, there are battery-powered fans and lanterns with USB plugs so you can charge at least two cell phones. Temperatures vary greatly in this region and each tent is equipped with a wood-burning stove for additional heat (instructions of use will be provided upon arrival and assistance is available if needed.)

This vacation visits national parks and other remote locations where some facilities may not meet the first-class standard you expect from Globus. Some lodges within the parks do not feature televisions and other routinely expected amenities.

Routing and areas visited within Yellowstone National Park are subject to favorable weather and/or road conditions. When conditions are unfavorable, the routing may be adjusted accordingly.

STEVE OSTEN

Escorting tours for more than 20 years

“My interest in the national parks began as a child on summer vacations in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. In college, I studied Botany, Ichthyology, Mammology, and Ornithology, and I began working in Yellowstone as a summer seasonal guide years ago. I have also worked in Sequoia, the Everglades, and Alaska as a naturalist guide. Whether it's beachcombing in Florida, birding in the Everglades, or hiking in the Tetons, as long as I'm in nature, I'm where I want to be.”
