ANGAMA MARA, KENYA

A remarkable safari lodge in Kenya is the owner-run Angama Mara, inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’. Located high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, Angama Mara overlooks Kenya’s Maasai Mara, considered by many as the most incredible game reserve on the continent.

Guests can choose between two intimate camps of just fifteen tented suites each, a private airfield and access to the Mara below, tailor-made safari days and a famously warm Kenyan welcome. Days are as ac-tion-packed or as gentle as guests choose them to be. The Mara Triangle is home to Africa’s great mammals, a mere 10-minute drive from the lodge, and expe-riences to choose from include hot air ballooning, walking safaris, cultural visits to neighboring Maasai villages – or simply do nothing at all.

BUSHTOPS CAMPS, KENYA & TANZANIA

Spending time in nature is one of the most healing and restorative things for stress levels, for emotional stabil-ity and for physical wellbeing. At Bushtops Camps in Kenya and Tanzania, guests have the choice of three unique camps, in which they may immerse themselves in the splendour of the natural world, escaping from the banal and humdrum and into a landscape that’s as wild and unforgiving as it is majestic and humbling.

In the magnificent bush setting of either Serengeti Bushtops or Mara Bushtops, guests are at liberty simply to soak up the vast views from their private decks and plunge pools, or to completely immerse themselves in the thrill and unpredictability of nature on game drives. Roving Bushtops allows guests to completely immerse themselves in nature as well as follow its path.

ST HELENA ISLAND, SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN

With its uniquely rich diversity of heritage-based attractions, both built and natural, St Helena offers many things to see and lots to do — from visiting the Georgian town to the rugged coastline, from the rolling hills to the stark yet striking geology at Sandy Bay. There is so much more to the island than visitors might imagine.

St Helena is home to the most varied heritage and na-ture, breathtaking views from the highest peaks, invit-ing waters, and 100% quaintness. Situated in the South Atlantic Ocean, at 15° 56’ south and 5° 45’ west, and measuring just 47 square miles, it is one of the remotest settled islands in the world. A sub-tropical paradise, it is also one of the most spectacular as far as contrast goes.
