If you’re venturing solo, Egypt with Abercrombie & Kent is a dream made effortless.

Cruising up the Nile on a small, elegant boat offers just the right blend of peacefulness and socialisation. It’s safe, enriching and utterly unforgettable.

For The Artists

Morocco - recommended by Chris Bellmon

In Morocco, art lives in the everyday, beyond the museums and galleries. It’s where traditional craftsmanship reigns from furniture to jewellery to clothing to carpets to ceramics and more. Intricate patterns line the walls and floors of the city and riads and is an integral part of Morocco’s iconic architecture.

Marrakech was one of my first travels as an adult and to this day remains my favourite destination. There’s a vibe in the main town that is irreplicable – at every corner, in every shop, there is no mistaking you’re in Morocco.

Okavango Delta, Botswana - recommended by Vanessa Mackie

Experiencing this natural sanctuary from the air is a safari like no other. It’s raw, beautiful and unforgettable. For the best animal sightings, try to get there between June and October when the rains have stopped and the flood waters have arrived.
