Ultimate Safari Planner

For many, an African safari represents a once-in-a-lifetime dream trip. We've rounded up some of the best that the continent has to offer, but with a warning that after you've experienced any of these safari adventures, once in a lifetime—or, for that matter, one entire lifetime—may just not be enough.
FOR FIRST-TIMERS

Khwai River Lodge—Okavango Delta, Botswana



Set the bar high on your safari experience right from the start. One of Botswana's oldest lodges,Khwai River Lodge was founded by Harry Selby (later immortalized in Hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro) at his favorite campsite. Selby knew how to pick a spot, and this true classic remains a prime location for elephants, hippos, and countless savanna species, and is a known predator hot spot. A private concession, Khwai offers night drives and walks in addition to the standard game drives, which are limited to just six guests per vehicle (making every seat a "window" seat). The lodge's "tent" accommodation is so luxurious (with comforts like AC and Wi-Fi) that apart from the unhindered view of the Khwai River meandering by, you might forget that you're smack dab in the middle of a vast wilderness.
FOR ADVENTURERS

Hmmm . . . tracking gorillas in the forest or following a lion pride along the Zambezi? It's an apples and oranges dilemma, but you can't lose with either of these options.

Gorilla Tracking—Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda



Few experiences can rival that of sweating it out up steep tropical hills and slipping down muddy ravines in search of mountain gorillas. Think you're hard core? Head to Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: the name of this World Heritage Site says it all. The terrain's steep slopes, covered in dense foliage, require a stout heart (and stronger legs), but the hour you'll spend with these magnificent animals will make light of the Impenetrable Forest's rigors. Your suffering will be but a distant memory once you've returned to Bwindi Lodge—separated from the jungle by a mere stream, it's not uncommon for the gorillas to pay a visit to the eco-lodge's front door. (Tip: Book your mountain gorilla trek with the experts at Volcanoes Safari).

Stalking Giants with Goliath—Mana Pools, Zimbabwe



Ever dreamed of tracking a lion pride on foot or paddling up to an elephant in a canoe? A trip withGoliath Safaris in Zimbabwe's legendary Mana Pools National Park is your golden ticket. Operating seasonally (May to November) on the banks of the Zambezi River, this owner-operated luxury tented camp recalls the original safari concept: a true wilderness experience with a focus on getting up close and personal. Walks are led by renowned guide Stretch Ferreira, whose 30 years in the park ensure that guests experience the terrain—whether tracking predators or walking with old elephant bulls—as the animals do. While catering to the adventurous, Goliath doesn't skimp on luxuries, such as comfortable en suite tents just a stone's throw from the river's edge, and excellent meals.
FOR LUXURY SEEKERS

Singita Sasakwa—Grumeti Reserve/Serengeti, Tanzania



Across Africa, the name Singita is synonymous with over-the-top luxury in sublime settings. Of its four properties gracing the Serengeti's Grumeti Reserve, Singita's flagship Tanzanian lodge isSasakwa. The view across the majestic Serengeti plains from Sasakwa's spacious veranda will make your heart soar, while the East African-inspired elegance of the main manor house (all mahogany paneling and chandeliers, set against zebra-skin throws and finely woven grass mats) will tickle every Out of Africa fantasy you've ever harbored. Eight equally show-stopping "cottages" (each with its own infinity pool), and a super-luxurious spa and gym complete the picture.
FOR FOODIES

Singita Boulders—Sabi Sand Reserve, South Africa



The one thing you can be sure of on safari? You won't go hungry. Most high-end lodges serve four meals a day, striving to make every one of them memorable. At the top of the foodie pile standsSingita Boulders Lodge in the famous Sabi Sand Reserve. Catering to clients' every culinary need (Fish-eating vegan? No problem.), Chef Scott Ratrray's kitchen happily adjusts menus with flair. Fresh juices and baked goods are the norm, and locally sourced produce and meat support both the community and the quality of what's on your plate. Diners can expect mains like pork belly with crackling, foie gras, truffle pâté, and apple compote. Meanwhile, Boulders's wine cellar showcases an impressive selection of premium vintages. Bon appétit!


FOR HONEYMOONERS

Royal Chundu Island Lodge—Zambezi River, Zambia



The safari as honeymoon has come into vogue as a great way to combine two trip-of-a-lifetime journeys into one spectacular burst of pleasure. Situated on a private 9-mile stretch of the Zambezi River, just upstream from the spectacular Victoria Falls, Royal Chundu Island Lodge is the perfect honeymoon retreat. Nestled amid an ancient baobab and Jackalberry forest on Katambura Private Island, four luxurious villas look out to private decks with open-air baths and stunning views of the river. When you're ready to emerge, a plethora of activities like sunset cruises on the Zambezi, visits to Vic Falls, game viewing in nearby Chobe National Park, fly-fishing, and river rafting, are all available to share with your sweetheart.
FOR THE BUDGET-CONSCIOUS

SANParks—Kruger National Park, South Africa



Planning a safari on anything less than an earl's fortune can seem like an impossible task. But if you can live without the copper tubs and polished silver, and simply want to get into the bush and see African wildlife, South Africa's national parks system offers some amazing options. The pick of the bunch must be the renowned Kruger National Park. Access-wise, this is likely the most affordable park in its class (rent an economy vehicle from Johannesburg airport to avoid additional flights). Kruger also offers a huge variety of accommodation, from well-resourced campsites ($20/night for the site; bring your own tent), to comfortable safari tents and huts that will only set you back about $50/night for two. Campsites are situated to optimize game viewing, and Satara, Tamboti, and Lower Sabie are recommended for large cat sightings.

5 Reasons to Visit Iceland and the Faroe Islands

censored HD                   

It’s no wonder that so many films and television shows, including the The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,Game of Thrones, and Prometheus, among others, filmed in this part of the world. The landscape is awe-inspiring, wondrous and so beautifully primal it stays with you long after leaving. Sure, you could use your cash and mileage to see the Eiffel Tower, London Bridge, or Leaning Tower of Pisa. But tell your friends and family that you’ve hiked a glacier or basked underneath the Northern Lights, and those will be vacation photos they’ll actually ask to see.
ICELAND


1. TRAVELING FROM THE US IS EASY

Flying time from NYC to Reykjavík is only about 5 1/2 hours. Also, Iceland Air has direct flights to Reykjavík from many U.S. cities including Anchorage, Boston, Denver, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando, Seattle and Washington, D.C. Travel discount sites, like travelzoo.com, and airlines offer discounted 3-day Iceland package trips starting as little as around $700. There are also specially-priced, stop-over packages en route to Europe.

Iceland Air makes it easy to learn about the county’s culture en route with its deep catalogue of music, well-beyond Björk and Sigur Rós, tutoring flyers on one of the country’s most influential exports; there’s Icelandic poetry printed on their pillows; a menu stocked with local flavors; and programming including "Icelandic Sagas," a “Project Runway”-type show called "Hannað Fyrir Ísland"/Designed For Iceland (You’ll see that stylish and layered clothing fit in, including sleek all-weather coats and perhaps a “lopapeysa" Icelandic sweater) and films referencing Iceland’s economic crises, like “Revolution Reykjavík.”




2. REYKJAVIK IS A FASCINATING CITY

The city, where about half of Iceland’s roughly 320,000 citizens call home, is a designated UNESCO City of Literature; they’re geothermal power leaders; the city’s mayor, Jón Gnarr Kristinsson, played in a punk band and was a stand-up comedian, the country’s been called The Most Feminist Place in the World. It’s easy to sightsee on foot in Reykjavik as many tourist attractions are in a condensed area. The Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina with its stylish Nordic design, welcoming lobby fireplace and popular Slipp Bar, is right in the downtown Harbor. The Kex Hostel, located downtown, has a gastropub, bike rentals and holds social events.

While here: Take the elevator to the top of Hallgrimskirkja church (about $4) for panoramic city views; shop on Laugavegur street; visit museums including the National Museum of Iceland; walk along the water and take pictures next to Solfar Sun Voyager then stop in Harpa Concert and Conference Centre. The Official Tourist Information Centre is a centrally located, terrific place for postcards, stamps and directions.

Iceland is known for incredible seafood, fish, skyr, dark rye breads, lamb and more unusual foods including whale, shark, dried cod, reindeer, puffin and sheeps head. Feast at a score of restaurants offering updated takes on traditional food like Fish Market and Kopar. The libation-curious wash it down with a shot of Brennivín, aka “Black Death,” made from potatos and caraway seeds.


3. THE LANDSCAPE IS UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD

Where else can you see lava fields, geothermal hot springs, waterfalls, geysers, glaciers, and volcanos, all in one afternoon? Many tourists rent a car to drive Iceland’s 830-mile Ring Road that circles the country and connects to roads leading inland, but a day excursion via the Golden Circle, a 190-mile loop by Thingvellir National Park just outside Reykjavik, is easily manageable and includes natural wonders like Gullfoss waterfall. Consider heading out with a knowledgeable tour company, like Icelandic Mountain Guides. If you’re in a lava field, crossing a shallow river, an expert (and an expert’s vehicle) is welcome. We’ve been told tourists are surprised at what their car rental agreement doesn’t cover.

Other Southern Icelandic sights include Skógafoss Waterfall, Þórsmörk Glacier Valley (aka Valley of Thor); Sólheimajökull Glacier; and Valley of Reykjadalur with its terrific hiking and hot springs.

The infamous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa impresses with its striking architecture. If you’re adverse to crowds, note this popular attraction is often packed with visitors. Otherwise, Blue Lagoon is most convenient to visit, because of its location near the airport, immediately before or after your flight.


4. YOU MAY GET TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

From anywhere in the West Nordic region, it is possible to have an unforgettable viewing of theNorthern Lights. Just one hour outside of Reykjavik, the high-design Hotel Ion even has its own Northern Lights Bar, where you can enjoy the breathtaking sky with a cocktail in hand. While wildly unpredictable, the best months to see the Aurora Borealis tend to be February and March, and October and November.


5. A BRAGGING RIGHTS-WORTHY SIDE TRIP IS A QUICK FLIGHT AWAY

Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands make up the West Nordic region. Consider visiting two or three of these destinations in one trip. Both Atlantic Airways and Air Iceland fly from Iceland to the Faroe Islands. Norröna ferry from Hirtshals in Denmark goes to the Faroe Islands capital Tórshavnand also Iceland.

The Faroe Islands, a self-governing Kingdom of Denmark region, settled largely by Norwegian Vikings, are in the North Atlantic, northwest of Scotland, halfway between Iceland and Norway. They’re an archipelago of 18 islands connected by tunnels. Helicopters and ferries also serve as public transportation.

The land, dreamy as the fog settles over its scattered, rugged mountain tops, is a lure for photographers and known for bird watching (over 300 species). Take a helicopter or boat trip to the island of Mykines to see fantastic bird colonies and dramatic Lord of the Rings-evoking scenery. Also, sightsee and shop in the captial Tórshavn. Include a stop in legendary sweater shop Guðrun & Guðrun, and the record store Tutl for both tradional and cutting-edge music. Try Faroese cuisine at Koks retsaurant in Hotel Føroyar, where chef Leif Sorensen serves traditional Faroese cuisine in inspired, modern ways.
