For the Trailblazers: Northeast Brazil Awaits

Start in Salvador, where history and culture fill the cobbled streets. Then, swap cityscapes for the surreal Lençóis Maranhenses, where shimmering lagoons carve through golden dunes. Finally, escape to Fernando de Noronha, a protected paradise where you can snorkel with sea turtles, explore hidden caves and dive to historic shipwrecks.

With strict visitor limits, this eco-haven remains untouched—and with the current exchange rate, Brazil offers incredible value.

Looking for the ultimate road trip destination?

Katie from our team recently returned from northern Norway and was truly captivated.

"It was the perfect self-drive adventure punctuated by meeting fascinating local people, outstanding people and awesome activities."

We work with incredible local partners to create bespoke itineraries that are as adventurous or relaxed as you want.

From snorkelling with orcas in Skjervøy and sitting amongst puffin colonies in Andenes to chasing the northern lights in the Lofoten Islands and driving across Senja's breathtaking Arctic landscapes.

Ever considered Yellowstone in winter? Think snowy landscapes, fewer crowds and incredible wildlife.

Winter transforms Yellowstone into a frozen wilderness, but the wildlife action doesn’t stop.

Snowshoe through the Lamar Valley with an expert naturalist and spot wolves, moose, bison and coyotes in their snowy habitat. Or hop on a snowcoach to Old Faithful—watching it erupt against a snow-covered backdrop is a breathtaking spectacle.

Have you experienced Yellowstone like this?

With a feeling of untamed nature, Zambia is a country that draws people back, time and time again. To many, a Zambian safari represents the real Africa – a still undiscovered wilderness where exploration on foot reaps the greatest rewards.

From the plains of Liuwa and the savannah of Luangwa to the thundering majesty of Victoria Falls, Zambia encapsulates the idea of an African adventure.

Illona, one of our Africa experts, recently visited Zambia.

Here's a selection of her incredible safari footage.
