I went on a 2-week safari. It was worth every penny, but 8 hidden costs made it more expensive than I expected.

Sarah Dusek first spent time in Africa in her twenties, as an NGO worker in rural Zimbabwe. The experience, she says, “ignited a profound appreciation for Africa’s landscapes and cultures, and for the resilience of its people.” In 2009, she and her husband, Jacob Dusek, co-founded Under Canvas, a zero-waste luxury glamping outfitter with camps across the U.S., modeled after African safaris. Now based between Montana and Cape Town, the couple have brought the lessons they learned with their first hospitality venture back to the continent that inspired it. In South Africa’s Soutpansberg Mountains, surrounded by baobab trees in the province of Limpopo, Few & Far Luvhondo opened Jan. 1 with six Cliff suites: Inside, curved beams recall tree trunks, and earth-toned patterns take their cues from local foliage and rock formations. The property’s vantage point means you might catch glimpses of giraffes and elephants from your terrace. Chef Nhlakanipho Sokhela serves seasonal tasting menus in the lodge’s restaurant, along with alfresco barbecues and gourmet bush picnics. For even loftier views, the lodge plans to unveil a 25-mile-long aerial experience called Solfari. Via a solar-powered cableway inspired by clusters of weavers’ nests, guests can silently soar above the UNESCO-designated Vhembe Biosphere Reserve’s mountains and rivers to spy on herds of buffalo and stalking leopards far below.

It's hard to pinpoint what makes Colorado's ski town Snowmass stand out.

As adventure and heritage travel trends grow, the continent of Africa as a whole is becoming increasingly popular among travelers who want to explore without the crowds. These tourists are considering destinations across the vast continent, from South Africa to Tunisia.

There are no two ways about it: Europe is the world's most beloved region.Romantic, historic, safe and filled with delectable food & drink delights, Europe has been casting a spell on travelers since the invention of international travel. We go to Europe to have fun snapping selfies in front of a famous sight and to enjoy the adrenaline rush of experiencing so many countries, languages and cuisines, all in one easy-to-get-around place. We also visit to feel as though we've picked up a little bit of culture along the way, too.This popularity does come with a slight downside: issues around crowding and overtourism are currently a thorn in the side of many destinations.  As the continent works through this tricky issue—with different destinations choosing different paths and strategies—and rolls out new entry requirements, Europe is wide open and welcoming for all, and the following guide will get you or your client prepared for a 2025 trip across the pond. 

Winter Storm Cora has continued to move east, resulting in hundreds of flight disruptions at major hubs.

Last year, open water swimmer Amy Appelhans Gubser became the first person to swim from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge to the Farallon Islands, a craggy, mostly uninhabited archipelago off the Pacific coast that is known for its frigid, shark-infested waters. The 55-year-old fetal cardiology nurse coordinator from Pacifica, California, completed the 29.6-mile distance in 17 hours, three minutes. “It was so foggy that I only knew when it was daylight because the sky was a lighter gray,” she says.

Having previously visited Greece and enjoyed it, I wanted to explore more of the Adriatic with some friends and family for my 40th birthday.

I was 12 years old when the grossest — but also funniest — thing happened to me on vacation .

As someone who lives in South Africa, I'm no stranger to going on safari. However, I was intrigued when I heard I could reserve a safari ride through the Uber app, and decided to try it out to celebrate a friend's birthday.

The season's most potent winter storm to date is wreaking havoc on air travel across a large swath of the country.

My husband and I just marked a significant milestone by visiting our seventh continent together: Antarctica . During the past 20 years, our mutual love for exploration has taken us to every corner of the globe, but our recent journey to this vast, icy desert feels distinctly different.

There's nothing like hitting the open road, but there's nothing quite like being at home either. Thankfully, when you travel by RV, you can get the best of both worlds — and the ability to change your plans without having to worry about hotel or plane rescheduling fees.
