Sanctuary Tambarare is located in the shadow of Mount Kenya. Visitors can see the Big Five animals roam across Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts is opening a new IIha Caldeira property in Mozambique. Guests can partake in whale-watching, kayaking, scuba diving and exploring the islands within the archipelago.

Travel Bubbles at African Bush Camps

African Bush Camps recently launched exclusive-use and private guided safaris for their camps across Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe, known as “Travel Bubbles.” These give travelers the opportunity to explore safely and avoid other travelers if needed.

Remote Workcation Experience in the Seychelles

Swap out your home office for an exotic island escape where you can enjoy a blend of vacation and work. The program is for professionals interested in a nomadic lifestyle, allowing them to work from the Seychelles for up to one year.

Escape to The Galapagos of Africa: São Tomé and Príncipe

As the second-smallest economy in Africa, São Tomé and Príncipe cover two islands and several uninhabited islets in the Gulf of Guinea. It is a true escape from the modern world and the perfect destination for eco-tourists looking to explore “Lost Worlds,” with stunning beaches, chances to explore the jungle and snorkeling.
