Home to the world’s most enduring ode to marriag

Home to the world’s most enduring ode to marriage and love, the Taj Mahal, Agra, is a destination that has a rich history. The home base of the Mughal Empire, Agra still has many beautiful mosques, bustling chowks and ancient bathhouses. Situated a few hours from the capital New Delhi, Agra can be a great starting point for your visits across North India. There are many five and seven-star hotels here to accommodate your stay. We recommend staying at the luxurious Oberoi Amarvilas. You have a view of the splendid Taj Mahal from your room – making the stay truly special.

Social distancing in the giraffe world! The giraf

Social distancing in the giraffe world!

The giraffe is, in fact, the national animal of Tanzania, which has introduced strict laws to protect this endangered creature. Vast herds of the Maasai giraffe, which is East Africa’s most widespread species of giraffe, can be spotted roaming the Serengeti. They are common in the Serengeti where they are sometimes found in groups of 40 plus. The actual group in this photo shared with us by @sababusafaris had many more members than seen in this frame, and it is fascinating to watch them interact with each other. At one point, they started galloping along the water sources, which was a spectacular sight. After a while, they decided to line up in a queue – a perfect motive for this perfect shot! Definitely one to remember, especially since giraffes are at risk in their natural habitat due to a number of factors, including poaching and destruction of their ecosystems and habitats due to increased human activity and habitat changes.

In this modern age, perhaps the greatest indulgenc

In this modern age, perhaps the greatest indulgence while on safari is the luxury of serenity. Choosing to embark on a luxury safari means you needn’t worry about anything—your safari operator, camp staff, and guides take care of all the logistics, so you can unwind and focus on being immersed in the natural world, far from your daily routine. Aside from stress-free planning and execution, your brain will have a rest from the over-stimulation typical of our 21st-century lives. Listen to the birds, rustling grass, and hippos snorting in the distance instead of your alarm clock buzzing or planes overhead; relax on the deck as buffalo and wildebeest graze nearby instead of sitting in traffic on your commute; sleep with a cool breeze of fresh air wafting through the canvas instead of inhaling city pollution; enjoy dawn’s stillness during sunrise instead of rushing out the door; and close out the day sitting by a crackling fire under a canopy of stars instead of cleaning up after dinner. Are you ready to finally take the safari you’ve always dreamed of?

Like the Amazon, #Brazil’s remarkable #Pantanal wetlands is one of the world’s true natural wonders. Called Terra de Ninguem (“No Man’s Land”) by the Brazilians, the Pantanal is a vast watery wilderness — half the size of France! — harboring one of the greatest wildlife concentrations on the planet.

Have you ever dreamt about sleeping under the star

Have you ever dreamt about sleeping under the stars or witnessing the colours of
the Northern lights? Situated at the foot of Hekla volcano in the South of Iceland, about 3 hours drive from Reykjavik, ÖÖD Iceland from @oodhouses allows its visitors to soak in the wonders of the Icelandic landscape and atmospheric spectacles. The beautiful, yet dramatic and somewhat apocalyptic site provides an unforgettable experience by blending the rough surroundings with the elegant sky. It is a place where all barriers between you and the wilderness are magically gone.

We would forgive you for thinking we are taking the Mickey talking about safaris in Chad. However, amongst ardent safari goers, the Zakouma National Park in Chad has definitely become a bucket list destination. This is not a luxury safari as you have come to expect in other parts of Africa, think of it more like the place Indiana Jones would go on safari.

#Guatemala is probably not the first country you t

#Guatemala is probably not the first country you think of when it comes to beautiful travel experiences. We don’t blame you. Nestled between the tropical beaches of Mexico and the relaxing Caribbean vibes of Belize, Guatemala’s presence is often overshadowed by its neighboring countries. Once the heart of the mighty Mayan civilization, Guatemala is now one of the best hidden travel gems.
.
With the perfect amount of history and culture, visitors can find a well-rounded luxurious travel experience in Guatemala. The old capital city of Antigua (now a UNESCO Heritage Site) features many charming restored colonial buildings where guests can indulge in an extravagant vacation without spending a fortune. However, most travelers don’t come to Guatemala for a luxurious getaway (though they can). They come here for something more incredible – Volcano Fuego (or Volcano of Fire in English).
