AN OASIS IN THE ATACAMA DESERT
Or that it is an ancient, indigenous village that time has forgotten. This is the perfect place to sit back, relax in luxurious surroundings and garner a real empathy for the region you’re visiting.
Nayara Alto Atacama stands in the shadow of the wondrous historic Pukará de Quitar ruins, tucked away in a tranquil valley, beside the winding San Pedro river. And the desert beckons you with its fantastic carved rock structures, its geothermal fields, its surprisingly rich flora and fauna and a crystal clear night sky that will bring out the astrologer – and the romantic – in you.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
