Away from the Hustle in Hungary

In the picturesque town of Sopron, nestled in northwest Hungary, fresh air and centuries of history await. Explore cobbled streets lined with Roman ruins, or hike through the UNESCO-listed Fertő-Hanság National Park.

The air is pure, and the experiences are legendary.

Going Wild in Kenya

In Amboseli National Park, the iconic sight of elephants against Mount Kilimanjaro’s snowy peaks makes for a breathtaking view. Here, the only scent is of acacia trees, and the air is as unfiltered as the landscape. Experience the wilderness from above in a hot air balloon, or enjoy a bush dinner beneath a starlit sky.
