Retreating to the edge of the Nile at new boutique hotel, Beit El Nil
After a few hectic days in Cairo, with its 16-lane highways, throngs of visitors at the Pyramids and vast new Grand Egyptian Museum, the sight of a single vintage black-and-chrome Mercedes at Luxor airport instantly makes me grin. “Please, madam, step inside, have a drink and relax,” my driver says soothingly as he opens the door. “I will take care of everything else.” There’s something about getting into a vintage car that makes one’s view of the world change.
Why Mozambique is Africa's rising tourism star
I look out from my sunlounger, flanked by a wall of dazzling fuchsia bougainvillea and surrounded by combed sand the colour of flour. In the salty breeze, the sweet smell of freshly baked croissants drifts across from a nearby veranda. On the immaculately mowed lawns below, a waiter is taking down fairy lights, strung between palm trees for last night’s seafood barbecue.
Wilderness Magashi Peninsula
Ruanda es famosa por sus gorilas de montaña, pero no se conocen tanto los ejemplares de los Big Five en este parque anexo a la frontera con Tanzania. Al norte del parque está Wilderness Magashi Peninsula, el único lodge de lujo dentro de una concesión privada de 60 kilómetros cuadrados.

Mozambique's Moment In The Sun Original
Looking out from my sun lounger, flanked by a wall of fuchsia bougainvillea and surrounded by combed sand the color of flour, I find it hard to believe I'm in a country that for decades, due to wars, floods, and cyclones, was little visited by travelers. Amid the salty breeze, the sweet smell of freshly baked croissants drifts from the nearby veranda, where slices of mango and papaya and giant passion fruit are being laid out for breakfast.

Safari in Kenia: Diese 3 Camps und Lodges revolutionieren den Safari-Tourismus
Es geht schon auf Mitternacht zu, der ganze Körper ist erschöpft, der Schlaf aber will einfach nicht kommen. Zu Hause in der Großstadt ist der Grund dafür meist entweder das Heulen der Krankenwagen oder das der Betrunkenen vor der Kneipe nebenan. Hier in Kenia ist es das Mampfen. Sogar tief eingekuschelt in die Decken des Himmelbetts im Angama Amboseli Camp hört man noch, wie die Zebras draußen auf der Savanne herumkauen.
How a more progressive breed of safari stays are caring for the land and its inhabitants
3 hours ago Nairobi (AFP) – Uganda's role in eastern DR Congo has largely gone under the radar during recent violence but its complex approach aims to secure long-standing security and economic interests in the mineral-rich area, experts say. Backed by Rwanda, the M23 armed group has swept through the east of …
Matetsi Victoria Falls
Bar Familiar Gimnasio Piscina rural Spa Las cataratas Victoria son, probablemente, las más impresionantes del mundo; de ahí el nombre local Mosi-oa-Tunya (“el humo que truena”). Donde solo existía un gran hotel en la zona, el Victoria Falls Hotel, hoy ese galardón se lo lleva Matetsi. La historia de este lodge es un poco la de David y Goliat. Ubicado en el corazón de Kavango-Zambeze, las presas de caza de la región habían sido diezmadas por la caza furtiva.
andBeyond Mnemba Island
La costa este africana tiene algunas de las playas mejor conservadas del planeta, pero no muchos resorts en islas privadas. Este es uno de los motivos por los que este lugar goza de tanta popularidad. Inaugurado en 1997 y reconstruido en 2024 por Fox Browne Creative y el arquitecto Jack Alexander, este diminuto resort de 12 villas destila más encanto que nunca.

In Botswana, New Camps Are Bringing Guests Even Closer to Nature Original
With its high-cost, low-volume tourism model, Botswana is known for having the most luxurious safari scene in Africa. Camps like Jao and Xigera Safari Lodge, featuring handcrafted furnishings and dining options that can fulfill any craving, can run guests upwards of $2,000 a night. But not every safari-goer wants all that cosseting (or the costs that go with it).

African-style roofing and earthy but contemporary interiors are featured throughout the 56 villas, bungalows and suites, which are comfortably spread across the resort’s white-sand beachfront and tropical gardens, each only steps away from the azure waters of the Indian Ocean.

This Floating Inn Is the Most Luxurious Way to See Japan by Sea
This story originally appeared on Travelandleisure.com. Bounded by the islands of Honshū to the north, Shikoku to the south, and Kyūshū to the southwest, and surrounded by a gently hilly shoreline, the Seto Inland Sea stretches roughly 250 miles from east to west. It’s been an important commercial waterway between the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Japan for millennia.

Why Fall Is the Perfect Time of Year to Plan a Dream Scottish Highlands Road Trip
Lisa Grainger takes a drive through the glens and moors of northern Scotland, visiting reimagined historic estates, bedding down in snug country cottages, and losing herself on some of Europe’s most inspiring tracts of wilderness. Stopping to lean on his staff, Peter Cramb surveyed the steep, heather-covered hill we had just climbed, his eyes sparkling, his weather-scoured cheeks aglow.
Here's why Zambia should be your next safari destination
How did an under-the-radar gem become the safari destination of the year? Ask a group of safari specialists to pick an emerging destination for 2017, and you'll hear Zambia mentioned again and again. That's because the southern African country — home to Victoria Falls, 20 national parks, and some of the continent's best wildlife — is hitting its stride as a high-end option, thanks to improved access and some impressive lodge openings.
The Tiger Trail: Wildlife Tourism in India
Driving through the state of Madhya Pradesh, in the heart of Indian tiger country, it was difficult to reconcile the tranquil scenes flashing past my window with nonstop reports about the animal’s slide toward extinction. Tigers, it seemed, were the topic of the moment. As I set off from New Delhi on a six day safari, global specialists were converging to discuss how many of the world’s largest felines are left, and how best to save them.
The Moment: Indonesia’s Raja Ampat Islands
4:07 p.m.: It’s the colors that strike you first. Above your rattan lounge chair on Tiger Blue, a wooden schooner sailing through Indonesia’s West Papua province, blood-red sails billow against the sky. Luminous green forests seem to glow on shore. All around, the water glistens azure, turquoise, and, in the shallows, a pale crystalline aquamarine. You’ve already hiked island slopes and snorkeled with sea turtles and manta rays, so perhaps it’s time for a nap in a shaded hammock?
The Moment: Jawai Leopard Camp in Rajasthan
It’s dinnertime, but before you lift a fork of paprika-infused lamb to your lips, you pause again to look at the stars. At Jawai Leopard Camp, a new eight-tent lodge in a remote part of India, there is little man-made light. A half-moon throws a gentle glow on the granite hills, where red-turbaned Rabari herdsmen share their land with hyenas, jackals, and even the leopard your guide pointed out on safari last night.
