Recommended for All AgesLake Nakuru National Park Located in the Great Rift Valley surrounded by yellow acacia woodlands and bushy shrublands, the Lake Nakuru National Park was created to protect the Lake and its large flocks of Lesser Flamingo, which are drawn to the algae that flourish in the saline waters of this soda lake. The national park is inhabited by over 50 mammal species including hippo, black and white rhino, Rothschild giraffe, buffalo, and eland. Known as a bird watcher’s paradise, the park is home to over 450 bird species. Visitors can look forward to hiking through the scenic landscape, picnicking next to this magnificent lake, and spotting an array of wildlife on a game drive. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the beautiful Makalia Waterfall. Masai Mara The Masai Mara together with Tanzania’s Serengeti form Africa’s most famous wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve. The image of acacia trees dotting endless grass plains epitomizes Africa for many, then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation needs to go no further. The undeniable highlight of the Masai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the annual wildebeest migration traversing the vast plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara. It is known as the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. Large pride of lions, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, and eland can also be spotted in the reserve. Aside from horse riding safaris and traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains has become almost essential. read more read less

Recommended for All Ages Thimphu: Bhutan’s capital city is the country’s commercial and religious hub and the official seat of government. Located at an altitude of 2400 meters, it is an interesting fusion of ancient and modern, with historical architecture and ancient traditional elements juxtaposed with contemporary buildings and sensibilities. Attractions here include the Memorial Chorten, the Folk Heritage Museum, the National Library, the Textile Museum, and numerous handicraft shops, among others. Punakha: Home to the ancient Bhutanese capital of Punakha, the Punakha valley is a fertile region blessed with rich harvests of fruit and rice and a climate that is almost tropical in the summer months. Paro: Sitting pretty at an altitude of 2200m/7218ft, Paro is the gateway to beautiful Bhutan. Planes make an incongruous sight, flying low as they prepare for landing in this Himalayan oasis, home to many of Bhutan's oldest temples and monasteries. There’s plenty to observe in this traditional town on the banks of Pa Chhu (Paro River). A great day excursion is to trek to the famous Taktshang (Tiger’s Nest) Hermitage on the face of a sheer 1000-meter-high cliff. It’s advised to do this at the end of your trip, once you’ve acclimatized to your surroundings. read more read less

Recommended for All Ages​ Ol Pejeta Conservancy Resting at the foot of Mount Kenya, overlooked by its dramatic snow-capped peak, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a beautiful destination for nature enthusiasts & wildlife photographers. The Conservancy is renowned for protecting various species, including the world’s last northern white rhinos. A wide variety of wildlife can be enjoyed, from lion to giraffe and elephant.  A sheltered oasis, the private Ol Pejeta Conservancy is host to all the members of the ‘Big Five' (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo and leopard)! The conservancy has a higher wildlife-to-area ratio than any Kenyan national park and is one of only four private game conservancies to have been founded in Kenya. At the forefront of the Kenyan conservancy programme, the reserve boasts the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, hosts the only chimpanzee rescue center in Kenya, and shelters large numbers of rare and endangered species like the Hunting Dogs. Lake Nakuru National Park  Lake Nakuru is among Kenya's finest national parks. Flanked by rocky escarpments, pockets of acacia forest, the park is gorgeous year-round and is home to both black and white rhinos, lions, leopards and endangered Rothschild's Giraffes. Baboons, Impalas, Colobus monkeys, Hyenas, zebras, gazelles, and pythons are also among the abundance of wildlife here. Up until 2014, Lake Nakuru was renowned for its vast flamingo population (sometimes more than 1.5 million of them at one time), which covered the lake in a blanket of pink plumes. However, rising water levels from heavy flooding have drastically reduced this phenomenon, shrinking their breeding and feeding grounds. Flamingos may not be as abundant as they once were, but a safari at Lake Nakuru still delivers some of the best wildlife viewing in Kenya!   Masai Mara National Reserve The Masai Mara Game Reserve was named for the Masai people who inhabit the area, and for the Mara River, which flows through this great reserve. It shares a border with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and is essentially a continuation of this park, forming the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. The Masai Mara is home to an excellent year-round concentration of game and is renowned for its annual visit by the two million animals that make up the Great Migration. Covering an impressive 1510km², the Masai Mara is a land of breathtaking vistas, abundant wildlife and endless plains. Arguably one of the most popular parks of the world, the plains of Masai Mara are host to one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet during the months of July-September. Thousands of Wildebeest and other animals annually cross the Mara River in search of the greener pasture in Kenya. The celebrated Black-maned Lions are possibly the stars of the Mara but the graceful Cheetah, Elephant, Hippos, Gazelle, Hyena too are sighted and like all of Kenya, birding is great. Even during the non-migration months the Mara remains one of the most high wildlife density areas in Kenya and offers an unmatched safari experience.      read more read less

There's a magic about this charming yet confounding kingdom that casts a spell on visitors. Visiting Cambodia will inspire travellers to contemplate what happens when ancient and modern worlds collide. Best known as the gateway to the magnificent ancient temple complex of Angkor Wat, Siem Reap is a pleasant town with lovely French colonial and Chinese architecture and a laid-back ambience. The main attraction here is of course the Angkor complex. Angkor Wat is, figuratively, heaven on earth. It is the earthly representation of Mt Meru, the Mt Olympus of the Hindu faith and the abode of ancient gods. The ‘temple that is a city’, Angkor Wat is the perfect fusion of creative ambition and spiritual devotion. The Cambodian god-kings of old each strove to better their ancestors’ structures in size, scale and symmetry, culminating in what is believed to be the world’s largest religious building, the mother of all temples, Angkor Wat. Apart from Angkor Wat, we shall be exploring many other interesting sites viz. Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm, and Banteay Srei to name a few. We shall also visit Phnom Kulen or Kulen Mountain which is considered as the most sacred mountain by the locals. The group will be led by noted Archeologist Dr. Manjiri Bhalerao! read more read less
