Destinations of the World News - July 2020

My fascination with Africa started aged 19, when I began a round-the-world trip from Cape Town, spending eight weeks winding my way up the Garden Route and on to Zimbabwe. I saw ‘real’ wildlife for the first time, lost myself in Africa’s kaleidoscopic culture and fell in love with the kindness of its people. Since then, I have tracked a pride of lions from a hot air balloon in Kenya, jumped off Victoria Falls attached to a cord, seen chimpanzees up-close in Rwanda. There are, of course, many more countries, corners and cultures to explore, which is why I chose an ‘Africa’ theme for our July issue. The continent stole my heart a long time ago and, embarking on one of the awe-inspiring adventures we’ve outlined in our Out of Africa feature, I’m pretty sure it will steal yours, too.

From Africa to Indonesia, and we enjoy some rustic luxury at two private island resorts in Indonesia’s relatively unknown Riau Archipelago, and curate some of the best private islands, from Sri Lanka to St. Barths, to let you socially distance consciously, yet in style.

For now, keep planning, keep dreaming and keep exploring. The world is waiting for you…
