We are all well-versed in the benefits of immersing oneself in nature, the impact it can have on mood, happiness and health a well-documented topic. But finding the time to actually do so amidst our frenetic 21st-century lives can be a whole other story. So, to stop you slipping into an urban abyss, we’d advise putting your nature needs in the hands of the experts. All you have to do is book the trip, pack your passport and turn up!
The trip in question is Abercrombie & Kent’s new Wildlife & Nature: Around the World by Private Jet - a brand new journey from the experts in ultra-experiential luxury holidays, trips and tours - taking you to nine different destinations all teeming with nature in their own unique way.
The journey will depart on September 2nd 2024, taking you on a 26-day far-flung fling from Hawaii to Sri Lanka, Bali to Brazil, and a host of other incredible places in between. You’ll start this trip of a lifetime in Mauna Lana in Hawaii, learning about the efforts put in place to save the endangered native monk seal. Hop back on your private jet, to be whisked off to Fiji, to learn about the country’s flourishing coral ecosystem, play a round of golf and have dinner under the stars. Tasmania is next on the agenda, to spot Tasmanian Devils, whales and dolphins, before jetting off to Bali in search of Komodo Dragons.
On arrival in Sri Lanka, you’ll head out on safari drives with binoculars prepped for wild buffalo, crocodiles and the Sri Lankan leopard, then on to Mauritius to snorkel, birdspot and see the iconic Seven Coloured Earths at Chamarel. In Zambia, you’ll head to Lower Zambezi National Park on an epic safari adventure, before heading to the Bay of All Saints in Salvador, Brazil, in search of Humpback whales. Your last port of call will be a three-day journey along the Amazon River, looking out for pink river dolphins and other exotic animal species, rounding off the itinerary with insightful talks from onboard experts and sunset cocktails on the water.
Jetting from place to place on board your private and customised 757 with just 47 other guests, you’ll fly in consummate style making good use of the fully-flat First Class seats, along with a dedicated crew and chef to ensure the absolute height of luxury in the skies. Your accommodation throughout is hand-picked by Abercrombie & Kent’s travel gurus too, so your nights are in excellent hands too (think five-star hotels to exclusive one-of-a-kind lodges).
Soaking up nine different destinations over 26 days, with some of the world’s most outrageously unique and exclusive experiences along the way, this has got to be one of the most rewarding ways to fulfil that nature quota.
