5 Exciting Destinations To Experience in 2022

2022 brings with it a fresh start for new travel adventures, with hopefully less restrictions, better vaccination rates and a more positive, stable travelsphere.

Whether you love nature, want some excitement on a luxury African Safari Holiday, or simply want to laze around on an exotic Indian Ocean beach, here are 5 destinations which we love and recommend that you put at the top of your list!

Botswana

Botswana

Botswana may have diamond-rich deserts but it is the shimmer of the Okavango Delta’s crystal clear water, the perplexing perspective of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and the sight of hundreds of majestic elephants in the Chobe National Park that make it a unique and rare beauty.

It is a country filled with wildlife spotting opportunities of a vast variety, dramatic landscapes and untamed parks, Botswana is definitely one of Africa’s diamonds to add to your travel radar this year.

Kenya

Kenya Safari

If its a safari thats piqued your interest, a Kenyan safari is the best way to see magnificent wildlife including the ‘big five’. We are especially biased as Somak Luxury Travel was actually founded in Nairobi in 1968, and so Kenya holds a special place in our hearts. We are long established in providing some of the most exclusive safaris, holidays to some of the most undiscovered beaches, and adventures to some of the most remote locations.

Rwanda

Rwanda

With volcanoes, rainforests and rivers, and some of the rarest primates in the world, Rwanda is an absolutely stunning destination. Popularly known as ‘The land of 1000 hills’, it  is set at altitude and lush green adorns its sweeping slopes before disappearing high into misty peaks.

The bamboo forest of Parc National de Volcans has become a haven for Rwanda’s biggest draw – gorillas. Over half of the world’s mountain gorilla’s live in the Parc, surrounded by five dormant volcanoes, and it was the base of the eminent anthropologist, Dian Fossey’s, work, which was immortalised in Gorillas in the Mist. It is the experience of a lifetime for wildlife enthusiasts to follow in Fossey’s footsteps and trek amongst these graceful giants in their natural habitat.

Suggested itineraries:

Chimps and Gorillas

Chimps and Gorillas is a five-night itinerary in Rwanda, combining a visit to chimps in the Nyungwe National Park and gorillas in the Parc National de Volcans. Both experiences are amazing and not to be missed.

Gorillas in the Wild

Gorillas in the Wild takes you on a tour of Parc National de Volcans where you can experience a journey through the beautiful terraced hillside that characterises much of Rwanda’s landscape. Climb the base of the awesome Virunga volcanoes.
