Departing from the capital, Nairobi, embark on safaris within the Masai Mara reserve. You can observe the annual wildebeest migration here. Amboseli National Park offers breathtaking views of Kilimanjaro, if not climbing it!

This island off the coast of Tanzania, bordered by the Indian Ocean, has more than one trick up its sleeve! Starting with Stone Town, a city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, marked by its past as a hub for the slave and ivory market. Atolls like Mnemba Atoll are postcard landscapes in which it is possible to dive, to discover the seabed of Zanzibar.
– South Africa

Asian Destinations
– Thailand
To fight against the winter blues, head to the “land of smiles”! Thailand, this jewel of Southeast Asia, is known as much for its Buddhist temples. The capital alone has hundreds of them – as for its gastronomy and its tropical beaches. Something to delight many more travelers than just partygoers.
– bali
The Indonesian island is a destination appreciated both by yogis, who go there for spiritual retreats, by aficionados of wide open spaces as well as by partygoers. Bali indeed concentrates on a small territory of wooded volcanic mountains, impressive rice fields and XXL beaches. Among the religious sites to see, do not miss the Uluwatu temple.
– Cambodia
Do you dream of discovering the temples of Angkor? Winter is the best time of the year to visit Cambodia, and visit the sacred site of Phnom Kulen. You will even be blown away by the paradise island of Koh Rong. Without forgetting a small detour by the capital, Phnom Penh, to learn more about the history of the country.
North American destinations
– The Dominican Republic
This country which adjoins Haiti, known for its idyllic beaches and seaside resorts, offers breathtaking natural landscapes, such as Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the Caribbean. Do not miss its capital, Santo Domingo, which is home to monuments built by the Spaniards, such as the Gothic cathedral of Our Lady of the Incarnation.
– St. Barts
Saint-Barthélemy – aka Saint-Barth for connoisseurs, is a French-speaking island in the Caribbean, famous for its luxury brands and its large white sand beaches. A popular destination for jet-setters and billionaires, Saint-Barth is also a good spot for water sports.
South American destinations
– Brasil
With its unmissable Rio carnival scheduled for the end of winter, from February 25 to March 5, 2022, Brazil is the dream destination to escape seasonal depression. Take the opportunity to discover the Iguaçu Falls, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also Recife, the “Venice of Brazil” or the multicolored village of Olinda.
– Cuba
From the city of art of Trinidad to Cienfuegos, a colonial city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, passing through tobacco factories and the capital, Havana, and its old town, Cuba is a destination with many facets. Not to mention the tropical waterfalls of the Sierra del Escambray, the resort town of Varadero and the Valley of Viñales, in the region of Pinar del Rio.

The Great Barrier Reef, the rock of Uluru, the Outback, Kangaroo Island or even Kakadu National Park… In addition to its natural riches, Australia is also worth a visit for its cities – Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, but also Perth and Adelaide – for a cultural journey.
