Tanzania

The Great Migration is a visual and sonic feast. Of six million hooves thunderously crossing the wild open plains – with more than 200,000 zebras, 300,000 gazelles and over a million wildebeests relocating for fresh grazing. Now that’s a show.

Argentina

Argentina is somewhere to get excellently lost in. Wine-tasting on salt flats, a world-first expedition trek through the Mitre Peninsula – simply put, it’s stunning. January brings the warm weather, all you have to do is bring your adventurous spirit.
