Tiger Nest & Dragon Hearts feat. Punakha | Thimpu + Paro, Bhutan
Famous for its unique culture and stunning landscapes, **Bhutan**, the legendary **Kingdom of the Himalayas**, is a country unlike any other. Often called **the last Shangri-La**, this is a place where time runs slower, and the government operates by the unique philosophy of **Gross National Happiness**.
Many factors contribute to the famed **happiness and contentment** of Bhutan’s population, from the country’s pride in **preserving its traditions**, languages, and customs to the **prioritization of wellbeing** over material wealth. In this land of dense forests and towering mountains, incredible vistas are all around, and a **connection to nature** is deeply ingrained in the culture. In addition, the practice of **Mahayana Buddhism** profoundly influences the Bhutanese way of life, emphasizing inner peace, compassion, and community harmony.
With **stupas and monasteries** on every corner, spirituality is embedded in daily life here. Centuries of religious devotion have led to the creation of incredible landmarks and sacred spaces, including the country’s iconic crown jewel: Taktsang monastery, or **the** **Tiger’s Nest**. One of the most venerated places of pilgrimage in the Himalayas, the monastery appears like something out of a fairy tale, clinging to the rock a towering 800m (2,600ft) above the valley floor.
Nowhere in the Himalayas is the natural environment richer and more diverse than it is in Bhutan, home to high, rugged mountains and deep valleys which have been recognized as one of the world’s ten most important **biodiversity hotspots**. One of Bhutan’s ancient names was Menjong Yul, meaning **‘the land of medicinal herbs’**, and the people’s respect for the natural environment means that even today it remains pristine and mostly undisturbed.
Here we’ll discover ancient spiritual practices, trek into untouched landscapes and feel the awe of nature’s majesty in this hidden corner of the world.

**Let’s go!**
**DAY 1 :: MAY 26**
Recommended departure to Kathmandu at 02:10-08:05.
Connecting flight to Bhutan at 13:00.
On sunny days, the inbound flight to Bhutan is marked by **panoramic views of the Himalayas, including the towering Everest**. The approach through the tiny airstrip of Paro has been termed as “adventurous”, to say the least!
Arrival in the afternoon, after which we’ll check in to the hotel in Thimpu and have our first experience with fiery **Bhutanese cuisine**.
Later we’ll visit Thimphu’s Memorial Stupa, also known as the **Thimphu Chorten**, a prominent religious landmark in the city with its golden spires and bells. Afterwards we’ll take a short 3-4km hike to Kuensel Phodrang, reaching the **gigantic Buddha Dordenma** at the top of the hill. The **50-meter-high, gilt gold** **statue** fulfils an ancient prophecy dating back to the 8th century A.D. and is said to emanate an aura of peace and happiness to the entire world.
Overnight in Thimpu.
**DAY 2 :: MAY 27**
Today we drive via Dochu-La Pass to Punakha and hike to iconic **Chimi Lhakhang (Temple of Fertility),** located on a round hillock on the edge of Punakha Valley.
After lunch our exploration continues with a visit to the majestic **Punakha Dzong fortress**, a stunning example of traditional Bhutanese architecture which serves as a winter residence for the Dratshang Lhentshog, the commission for the monastic affairs of Bhutan. Built in 1637, it is picturesquely located in between two rivers – the **Pho Chhu (Male River) & Mo Chhu (Female River)** – and houses sacred Buddhist relics.
We’ll then take a walk along the **Punakha suspension bridge**, Bhutan’s longest, stretching 180 m (590 ft) across the water of the Pho Chhu, before checking into the hotel and resting up for the evening.
**DAY 3 :: MAY 28**
Today after breakfast and formalities we’ll drive to the **Dochula Pass (3,100m)** and begin the hike to the 18th century **Lungchutse Lhakhang temple (3,565m)**. This uber picturesque route passes through primary forests of rhododendrons, magnolias, birches, and bamboos, and occasionally meadows being used as yak pastures.
When we reach the temple we’ll be richly rewarded by views over the **entire span of Bhutan’s Himalayan range** and its majestic, snow covered peaks. We will then make our way downhill for about an hour until we reach Dochula Pass, encountering several landmarks and stupas along the path.
In the afternoon we will have an opportunity to witness **rural life in Bhutanese village,** and those who would like to can experience a **traditional** **hot stone bath**. For even richer immersion, there is also the option to spend the night in the village.
**DAY 4 :: MAY 29**
After breakfast we’ll start our last hike, to the sacred **Taktsang Monastery**, known as **the Tiger’s Nest,** situated at an altitude of 3100m in the Upper Paro Valley. During the hike we’ll keep our strength up with a picnic lunch in the woods with spectacular views.
Our ancient destination is the abode of gods and monks, a place of great spiritualty since the 8th century. As per the legend of Taktsang, this was the site of a cave in the sheer cliff face used by mystic Guru Rinpoche for meditation. He assumed a wrathful form, Guru Dorji Drolo, riding a flying tigress to subdue the evil spirits in the area. After many centuries, a religious complex took shape here, clinging to the rock face, with the oldest temple built by a Nyingma Buddhist master around 1508.

Victoria Secrets MAXX feat ANGELS POOLS | Zimbabwe + Zambia + Botswana
**Welcome to Africa overload!** This trip takes us to one of the World’s Seven Wonders, with opportunity to see Victoria Falls from land and sky, all the way to edge of the roaring waters at Angels Pools! With endless safaris on plains of savannah and forest in search of wild game and immersion in rural Zimbabwe, we will experience once in a lifetime adventure at the banks of Zambezi river.
Clip from previous trips:

[https://vimeo.com/351124375](https://vimeo.com/351124375)
Mighty Victoria Falls:
Locals calls it **The Smoke That Thunders**, a waterfall in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. Victoria Falls is classified as the largest, based on its combined width of 1,708 meters and height of 108 meters, resulting in the world's largest body of falling water. Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls and well over twice the width of its Horseshoe Falls. The most notable aspect of the area's vegetation though is the rainforest nurtured by the spray from the falls.
**Let's go!**
**Day 1 // Arrival to Zimbabwe + Dinner cruise**
Meeting at Dubai Terminal 1 at 02:00 AM for flight at 04:25 AM via Addis, arrival and immigration formalities. Check in to our luxury lodge, bordering the Zambezi National Park.
An hour before the sun begins its descent, we step onboard a vessel for dinner cruise with an exceptional evening on the Zambezi River. On the boat we will be offered a glass of beverage to sip as we find our seats and relax before the journey along the Zambezi River begins; all the while looking out for the various birdlife and animals there are to be seen, and then watching as one of Africa’s famous sunsets erupts in the sky. After the sun has sunk below the river line, dinner is served. The rich aroma of locally sourced, fresh ingredients wafts around diners as the dishes are plated.
**Day 2 // Angels Pools (Zambia) + Falls tour + Rhino search**
A view of the Victoria Falls is something you will never forget! Today we will take a look at the falls from several angles and also discover how the Falls were formed.
We will be going across the border into Zambia to get into the Zambezi River and stare over the edge of the waterfall into the abyss. This activity takes up a few hours with a boat ride to Livingstone Island from where we will get into the water to the edge of the Falls. After the experience we will be having breakfast and travel back to Zimbabwe.
Lunch at the café with spectacular views of the Batoka Gorge, Vic Falls Bridge and Spray of the Falls.
In the afternoon we will take guided tour on Zimbabwe side to get the complete picture of the majestic formation, followed by a bush adventure where we go in search of the highly endangered rhino. We will board a specialized safari vehicle at the Stanley and Livingstone Game Reserve, 15 minutes away from the town of Victoria Falls. The afternoon ends with some snacks and drinks on the private game reserve.
**Day 3 // Half day trip to Botswana**
Today we set off to Botswana. All passports are eligible for border crossing. This trip to flooded savannah will give you yet another outlook on African landscapes.
**Day 4 // Optional activities** **+** **High Tea + Boma dinner**
Today you will have a chance for Helicopter Flight over the Falls, if you chose so (optional - recommended).
We can't skip a visit in legendary Victoria Falls Hotel, place soaked with colonial history. High Tea with the view on border bridge is an absolute must here!!
In the evening traditional dinner with local performances.
**Day 5 // Souvenir shopping + orphanage visit + departure**
Before we bid farewell to Victoria and head back home, we will pass the souvenir market and visit orphanage, where you can support the kids in exchange for their priceless smiles!

Rock The Casbah | Journey Across Morocco
Sitting **at the crossroads of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Morocco** is a country of contrasts, from its quickly shifting landscapes to its dizzying **blend of Arab, Berber and French influences**. Here, the scenery and atmosphere change constantly, from Atlantic coastline to arid desert and high mountain passes, and from crowded markets to tranquil villages. While modern Morocco is dynamic and forward-looking, traces of a more romanticised past linger, in the slow rhythm of desert caravans, the scent of spice markets and the enduring image of camel traders crossing rolling dunes.
Our journey starts in **Casablanca, Morocco’s modern commercial hub**, home to landmarks like the impressive Hassan II Mosque, perched on the edge of Atlantic ocean. We’ll get a feel for the city by taking to the streets, exploring the Old Medina, stopping by Rick's Café for a dose of cinematic history, and wandering along the Ain Diab Corniche. A **traditional hammam experience** will give us our first taste of Moroccan rituals and hospitality.
Next up is **Marrakech**, where life is turned up a notch and chaos is part of the experience! The medina is a maze of colour, sound and movement, with souks dedicated to everything from spices and dates to carpets. Those looking to shop will soon find that **haggling is an art form here**. We’ll escape the madness by taking a break in the peaceful gardens of the Jardin Majorelle, and watch over the famed Jemaa el-Fnaa square as it fills with families and friends out for an evening stroll.
Leaving the city behind, the wild **Atlas Mountains** will welcome us with fresh air and endless vistas. Full of unique wildlife and primarily inhabited by Berber people, this 2,500 km range separates the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts from the Sahara Desert. Following trails winding past olive groves, and likely encountering Barbary macaques along the way, we’ll find ourselves at the spectacular **Ouzoud Waterfalls, the highest in the country at 110 meters**.
Continuing deeper into southern Morocco, we will **cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass**. This is one of the most scenic drives in the country, with winding roads, mountain villages and wide open views at every turn. Now for something unexpected: a stop in **Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco”**. Here we’ll find the famous Atlas Studios, where everything from *Gladiator* to *Game of Thrones* has been filmed, along with nearby oases that feel worlds away from modern life.
Our final stop is the Aladdin-style fever dream that is **Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar (fortified village)** that looks almost too perfectly preserved to be real. Set along the former caravan route linking Marrakesh with the Sahara, the town is a gorgeous example of traditional Moroccan earthen clay architecture. We’ll explore its narrow alleys and take in the sweeping views, before heading out into the surrounding landscapes for a more **hands-on desert experience.** ATV or camel? You choose!
**Let’s go!**
**Day 1 – Arrival in Casablanca**
We’ll land early in the afternoon, drop our bags at our riad (local boutique hotel) near the Corniche.
Our walking tour begins with the city’s highlight, Hassan II Mosque, one of the world’s largest. Built partially over the Atlantic, this impressive building features beautiful marble floors and cedar ceilings. Next, we’ll explore the Old Medina of Casablanca, with stops at Rick’s Café and Sacré-Cœur Cathedral. Then to relax before dinner, we’ll indulge in a traditional Moroccan hammam experience, coming out squeaky clean and with skin like a baby!
Tonight we’ll have our first taste of delicious Moroccan cuisine, followed by a nighttime stroll along the Ain Diab Corniche.
Overnight in Casablanca.
**Day 2 – Marrakech**
This morning we’ll hit the road to Marrakech, once a hippie mecca in the 1960s and 70s. We will hang out at Jardin Majorelle (yes - the one created by Yves Saint Laurent), the Ben Youssef Madrasa, Bahia Palace, and Le Jardin Secret.
After some lunch, we’ll head to the medina for some extreme shopping and haggling, exploring the spice souk, leather souk, metal lantern market, and carpet souk.
We’ll wind down the day with sunset views from a rooftop overlooking the city’s iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square, followed by dinner.
Overnight in Marrakech.
***Optional:***
*Sunset hot air balloon experience over Marrakech (additional cost)*
**Day 3 – Atlas Mountains & Ouzoud Waterfalls**
This morning we set out into the Atlas Mountains, hiking a trail to the towering Ouzoud waterfalls and taking selfies with macaques along the way. After a boat ride under the waterfall, we’ll continue our hike downstream through olive groves trail and plantations. We’ll have a well-deserved lunch overlooking the cascades.
Tonight we live like kings, in a 5-star hotel castle with waterfall views!
**Day 4 – Atlas Crossing to Ouarzazate**
Today we make the drive through the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, stopping along the way to admire the stunning views and visit local landmarks Kasbah Telouet, a beautiful but partially ruined 19th-century palace that has been abandoned since the 1950s. We’ll enjoy a traditional lunch in a mountain village.
Once in Ouarzazate, we’ll visit the famous Atlas Studios – where movies and series such as *Gladiator, The Mummy, Game of Thrones,* and *Jinn* were filmed – and the nearby Fint Oasis.
Overnight in Ouarzazate.
**Day 5 – Aït Benhaddou & Desert Adventure**
This morning, we don’t need coffee to wake up! It’s time to ramp up the excitement with an ATV tour across the desert plateau. There’s also an option to make like a true desert explorer with a camel ride, followed by tea with a Berber family.
Next we make the short drive to magical Aït Benhaddou, wandering its alleys, climbing to the hilltop granary, learning about the old caravan route, and exploring its notable film locations. We’ll linger here for sunset, taking advantage of the golden light in one of Morocco’s best photography locations.
Overnight in Aït Benhaddou’s Kasbah, feeling like we’ve travelled back in time!
**Day 6 – Return to Casablanca & Departure**
Today we hit the road early to make our way back to Casablanca for our afternoon flight home.
**Level of difficulty:** Easy and relaxing
**Activities:** trekking, sightseeing, cultural immersion, ATV riding.
**Accommodation & meals:** Atmospheric local boutique riads + 5 star hotels, double sharing. Meals excluded.
**Cost: 5,490 AED** excl. flights on Emirates. **Cost valid until May 20th.**

To be or Nosy Be, that is the question! | Nosy Be Archipelago, Madagascar
**Welcome to Paradise!**
**Nosy Be, meaning "big island" in the Malagasy language**, is a beachy paradise located 8 km off the northwestern coast of Madagascar. **It's in fact a volcanic archipelago with a** **warm tropical climate, pristine white-sand beaches, eleven crater lakes,** and habitats which are home to numerous endemic plant and animal species.
At 320 square kilometers, Nosy Be is the **largest island of an archipelago**, and its several smaller neighbors nearby make it the ideal place for island hopping and sampling an array of picture-postcard beaches. One of the main attractions of the archipelago is its marine life, and waters surrounding many of the islets are **excellent spots for scuba diving and snorkelling**.
The French colonized Nosy Be from 1840, founding an outpost named **Hell-Ville** which became an important trade harbor in the Mozambique Channel. Now the capital, the city offers French colonial buildings and a glimpse of day-to-day local life at its lively markets and craft centers.
In the southeast of Nosy Be is its most famous attraction: **Lokobe National Park,** a 740-hectare sanctuary known for its rare panther chameleon population, black lemurs, geckos, frogs and much more. One of Madagascar's five Strict Nature Reserves, Lokobe encompasses **an old-growth forest with ancient endemic tree species** – the last remaining primary rainforest on the island. A wildlife-spotting trek through this lush coastal haven brimming with ylang-ylang, orchids, palm trees and ferns is an experience to remember.
**Ready to explore the islands of your dreams? Let’s go!**
**DAY 1 // ARRIVAL IN NOSY BE**
Meet at DXB at 2am for a flight via Addis. Arrival, immigration procedure and one-hour drive to our beach-side hotel, where we’ll be based for the duration of the trip. We’ll settle in, indulge in the beautiful surroundings and head for a sunset to Sakatia.
**Sunset at Sakatia**
A short boat ride off the west coast of Nosy Be is Nosy Sakatia, a road-free island with picture-perfect beaches, rare birds and endemic flora. What it’s most known for, however, is its coral reef teeming with ocean life. With its marine ecosystem located inside a protected area, the island’s waters offer an unforgettable snorkelling or diving experience.
**DAY 2 // HELL-VILLE & MONT PASSOT**
We’ll enjoy a relaxing morning, with a trip to the local crafts market for those who are interested in purchasing a souvenir. After lunch at the seaside, we’ll drive about an hour to reach the highest viewpoint in Nosy Be – the dormant volcano Mount Passot. From more than 300m up, we’ll have a magnificent panoramic view of Nosy Be’s volcanic lakes, the surrounding islands, and the sparkling, multi-hued coastal waters.
We’ll settle in and enjoy a beautiful sunset before heading back to the hotel.
**DAY 3 // LOKOBE NATIONAL PARK**
Early departure this morning as we embark on our first adventure, in Lokobe National Park. We’ll hit the road towards the southeast of the island, passing by the capital of Hell-Ville. After about an hour we’ll reach the village of Ambatozavavy, where we’ll pile into local fishing boats and make our way through dense mangrove forests to reach the park.
Our 2-3 hour, ranger-led hike will take us through dense forest and lush greenery, where we’ll keep our eyes peeled to spot endemic wildlife and plants, including lemurs and rare chameleons.
When we’ve had our fill of exploring, we’ll head back to our lodgings, stopping for lunch along the way. Afternoon at leisure for swimming and relaxing on the beach.
**DAY 4 // NOSY ANTSOHA & NOSY IRANJA**
Today we have another magical island excursion, taking in two of Nosy Be’s neighbors. First we’ll make a stop at tiny Nosy Antsoha, where a nature walk will bring us face-to-face with the three different species of lemurs which call the island home.
We’ll continue on to Nosy Iranja, connected to Nosy Be by a sandbank that is covered during high tide and revealed during low tide. Its shores and shallow waters provide a habitat for sea turtles, hence its nickname of “Turtle Island”. In this beautiful, white sand paradise, the inviting waters appear in every shade of blue. We’ll tuck into a picnic lunch on a dreamy beach and enjoy our little piece of heaven. Return to our lodgings in the afternoon and evening at leisure.
**DAY 5 // DEPARTURE**
Morning time at leisure until we say goodbye to paradise and transfer back to the airport for our flight home.
**Grade:** easy and relaxing tropical holidays.
**Activities:** island hopping, trekking, sightseeing, beach strolling, boating. Optional diving.
**Accommodation:** Beach side hotel and spa, shared rooms. Single room at extra cost, subject of availability at the time of booking.
**Meals:** Lunches and dinners excluded.
**Cost: 5,500 AED excl. flights.** Cost valid until **MAY 20th**. Past this date cost will change if we still have availability.
