Samatian Island Lodge, Lake Baringo, Kenya
Five open-plan huts sit on the shores of a private island, deep in the wildlife-rich wetlands of Lake Baringo. In the morning, after a breakfast of fresh fruit, take a canoe out to spot hippos and some 450 species of birds. Doubles from $690,...
Quiet Oasis in a Quiet Part of the World
Sometimes when you travel, you find places that overwhelm you with peace the minute you step into their space. My husband and I found such a place on one of New Zealand’s most northern shores. New Zealand is a sparsely populated country,...
Deep Sea Fishing with Pirate Nick

I'm confident in saying Lake Tekapo is the most beautiful lake I've had the pleasure of picnicking alongside. So still, glassy, with soothing shades of azures and periwinkles. A great stop to "take it all in."
Ahu Tongariki
I've learned that some of the best times to be had when traveling, are when you wake up before anyone else. This, fortunately, is made easier when you travel towards the West. We decided that we just had to see the sun rise over the famous Easter...
