DUSK TILL DAWN

With blazing palettes of reds, golds and pinks, sunsets and sunrises can be quite romantic, and with locations like these, it is not hard to see why.

GRAND CANYON, ARIZONA

At the northern rim of the Canyon during summer thunderstorms, clouds march through late afternoons, like a battalion of puffy white tanks, reflecting the colours of the Canyon itself, and in nanoseconds changing from soft greys to nearly neon oranges and peach. Hike through the orangy dunes and rest in the cocoon of the natural caves to contemplate the beauty of the sunset as it peers through the massive clouds, illuminating the Canyon in ways that no manufactured lightning could begin to simulate. Even describing the moment you will get to experience is hard for us, as the beauty of the moment is too poetic to narrate.

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH AFRICA

This place is not only the home of the ‘Big Five’ (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant and cape buffalo), but also presents one of the world’s most majestic sunrises. Since the National Park lies close to the equator, the sun appears much larger as there isn’t a horizon serving as a reference point. Being small in size, the country offers endless opportunities to witness beautiful dawns that elicit a sense of serenity with their intense spectacle. You can find accommodation in a safari tent or one of the park’s trademark thatched bungalows, and enjoy the gilded beauty through leafy trees. With an alluring canvas unfolding every morning, this experience might just overshadow the action-filled safari itself.
