Explore. Dream. Discover.

Enjoying the thrill of an African safari whilst staying in a private lodge. Spotting the Big Five, and other rare and endemic species, on game drives, birding safaris and bush walks. Stargazing for clusters, galaxies and southern constellations in the night sky. Learning to cook South African style in a traditional potjie pot. Disconnecting from daily life and reconnecting with nature in a luxury five-star setting.

We’ve taken our safaris to a new level of luxury at the exclusive Qwabi Private Game Reserve in South Africa. This protected, private wilderness is part of the Waterberg Biosphere and offers a five-star safari experience across 11,000 hectares of untouched African bushveld. Dawn and dusk game drives reveal the beauty and serenity of the savannah and give you the chance to spot Africa’s legendary wildlife - including all the Big Five - roaming free. There’ll also be bush and birding walks to see smaller animals, birds and plant life, and guided stargazing pointing out celestial wonders in the African night sky. Throughout you’ll dine on authentic African cuisine crafted by a resident culinary team, and sleep in superior guest rooms whose earthy tones, wood finishes and African artefacts balance all the contemporary comforts of modern five-star hotel.

Experiencing Japan’s fantastic wintery highlights. From coming face to face with wild snow monkeys - they love to warm up with a soak in the onsen (hot springs) around Yudanaka - to marvelling at the awe-inspiring, giant snow and ice sculptures of the Sapporo Snow Festival.

Our winter Japan holidays shine a light on some of the country’s lesser-visited treasures. You’ll tour Tokyo National Museum and Nishiki Market in Kyoto, and stay in an authentic ryokan surrounded by footprint-free snowy landscapes - a real highlight. After a trip to see snow monkeys bathing in onsen (hot springs) in Yudanaka, a bullet train will whisk you through spectacular scenery to Hokkaido, where historic Hakodate and Sapporo Snow Festival (home to sculptures the size of houses) await you.

Relaxing at the famous Blue Lagoon. Slather on a mineral-rich silica mud mask and soak in the geothermal waters with a complimentary drink.

How many otherworldly sights can you see in five days? On this introduction to the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’ we keep a nightly watch for the magical Northern Lights, while seeing snow-capped volcanoes, crashing waterfalls and magnificent glaciers by day. We marvel at the Strokkur fountain geyser, sometimes 30m high. We relax in the silky waters of the Blue Lagoon. And in the capital, Reykjavík, we witness the enormous Hallgrímskirkja (Church of Hallgrímur), a unique landmark in a country brimming with surprises. Our Iceland short breaks are fantastic for first-time visitors to this beautiful island.
