Kenya safari & beach for lovers

Standing on the banks of the River Ntiakitiak as the wildlife files past at sunset, you get a sense of how the animals are all one big family, each with their own role. Cheetahs, lionesses and leopards prowl silently, crouching nearby in the vegetation before pouncing on the closest, weakest prey. In a flash, the sweet scene is transformed into a fury for the zebra and antelope. Such is life on the savannah. A sight that is frightening and hypnotising all at once.

A sign of ethical tourism in this part of Kenya, a horseback safari has so much to offer with many unique memories to be made. Riding on the savannah means you can get up close to the wildlife. You'll really feel a part of the landscape among zebra, antelope, wildebeest and giraffe. A gallop through these vast expanses brings a feeling of freedom that you will remember forever.

This part of Mauritius offers all the fun of the seaside: from lazing on the sandy beach to thrill-seeking on the water. Kitesurfing, windsurfing and sailing - Grand Baie enjoys an inshore wind, sweeping across from the lagoon to the mouth of the bay. Diving fans can grab a tank or go snorkelling at the many diving spots.

Built in 1929 and restored in 2007, the Lady Lisbeth is to date the oldest motor boat on Mauritius. Bought by the owners of 20° Sud Hotel, it now sails the Grand Baie for an intimate fine dining experience. For a few hours, (2-8) passengers embark for a sophisticated dinner on the ocean's tranquil waters. Honeymoon … with champagne too!

Some places in the world can be identified by their sounds alone, they are intrinsically linked to an instrument. The taarab was born in Zanzibar from Arabic, Indian and African influences. Although guitars and keyboards now often replace the violin and Arabic oud, the words are still focused on love (with a double meaning).
