Antarctica

Owned by no one, visited by a few, Antarctica is the world’s coldest, windiest and wildest continent and truly the world’s ultimate travel frontier.

Enigmatic, unspoilt and deeply spiritual, the Kingdom of Bhutan is regarded as one of the world's last ‘Shangri‐La's’.

For a limited number of visitors, this means peaceful forests, authentic cultural heritage and a sense of spiritual purity.

Colombia

It is often said that in Colombia you get five destinations for the price of one: the Pacific Coast, the Andes, the Amazon, the eastern plains and the Caribbean.

Egypt

For thousands of years Egypt has been the playground of emperors and kings. Great civilisations have risen from its sandy interiors and the Nile continues to bring life to an otherwise barren land.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is an awe-inspiring and intriguing forgotten land.
