A different kind of Kenya safari
Natalie travels to Borana Conservancy in Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau, where safari means more than following wildlife from a vehicle. From horse riding and walking safaris to conservation-led encounters, her piece explores a quieter, more immersive way to experience the wilderness at Borana Lodge.

Everest Base Camp, in comfort
Following the legendary trail through Sherpa villages, monasteries and dramatic Himalayan landscapes. With expert guiding, carefully chosen lodges and a more considered pace, the piece reveals a different way to experience one of the world’s great adventure routes.

INSPIRATION BY TRAVEL MOOD
Sometimes the best place to start is not with a destination, but with how you want to feel when you travel. Whether you are drawn to places at the edge of the ordinary, slower journeys with time to absorb each moment, adventures to share with family and friends, or milestone holidays that mark something special, our travel moods are designed to help you find the ideas that fit your next journey.
Travel isn’t always about landmarks or must-see lists. Often, the moments that stay with you are found a little further on, away from the crowds and closer to the essence of a place. Edge of Ordinary is about venturing just off the map: a quieter valley, a wilder coastline, a different perspective on somewhere you thought you knew. Not extreme, just more connected to people, to landscapes, to life.
Milestones. Curiosities. A sense that now is the time. These trips offer meaning through culture and significance, to learn a craft from a master, walk in the footsteps of history, or honour a life event. This type of travel expands your worldview while marking the moment in time.
In a world that prizes speed, there’s something special about taking the long way round. Slow Journeys are carefully designed to steep you in a place without the constant dash between airports and connections. They hold space to notice more, to savour the rhythm of daily life, and to end your trip feeling enriched rather than exhausted.
Every family travels differently, but the best trips have one thing in common: they bring you closer. Children don’t want to be distracted, they want to be included, and away from routine, you start to see each other and the world with fresh eyes. These journeys aren’t just about ticking off sights; they’re about swapping inside jokes on a game drive, debating who found the best market snack, or sharing the kind of experiences that become enshrined in family folklore.
