EAST AFRICA AND SEYCHELLES
The perfect holiday pairing
Combine the thrill of a safari with the serene luxury of a beach retreat in the Seychelles. Immerse yourself in the world-renowned Maasai Mara, with epic game drives alongside experienced rangers, guided walks to learn about traditional Maasai culture, and the option to float above the Savannah in a hot air balloon. And when you’re ready to rest, recharge and reflect on a jam-packed week with breathtaking views of the ocean from your island paradise, completing an unforgettable getaway experience.
ITALY
Learn to cook like a true Italian
You breathe in the aroma of garlic sizzling in pans around you and concentrate on adding new layers to your aubergine parmigiana. The chef tells you this is a recipe handed down through the generations and guides you through each step. He stops beside you and gives you a few tips and your stomach starts to rumble as you slide the dish into the oven. It sizzles in the heat and you chat to the others taking part in this optional three-hour cooking class in Sorrento, relaxing with a glass of wine as your dishes bubble and crisp to perfection.
BRAZIL
See unique graffiti in Rio’s favelas
You stroll to the point where two of Rio’s most fashionable neighbourhoods, Ipanema and Copacabana, meet. But you are not heading to the beach or high-end boutiques, you are meeting a local guide to head behind these neighbourhoods to the favelas. Your guide tells you about the community and its context to Rio and Brazilian society. The walls become a living museum, with graffiti portraying memories and local culture, art telling the history of the favelas.

There’s a reason that people spend their whole lives chasing the ethereal aurora borealis ‒ and you have the chance of seeing this spectacular display from the comfort of your luxury Nordic villa.
AUSTRALIA
