Exploring new countries and getting underneath their skin helps build our knowledge of these destinations so we can share our experiences and insights with you, not only when discussing a potential journey but also through our blog entries. See below for the latest from our returning travellers...
MANITOBA, CANADA - ROB MOLLER, TRAVEL CONSULTANT - A&K at HARRODS (SEP 11)
After a night in Churchill, we were up early to have a quick look around this one-street town. The Polar Bear police were on patrol and according to our guide one had strayed a bit too far into the town and would have to be airlifted out.
KING PACIFIC LODGE, CANADA - JONATHAN PEACH, TRAVEL CONSULTANT - A&K at HARRODS (SEP 11)
Having landed at the tiny Bella Bella airstrip from Vancouver, I knew this environment was quite an exception from anything I had experienced before. Scattered before me were a dozen seaplanes, one of which was to be our transport to the remote King Pacific Lodge.
PANTANAL, BRAZIL - MELISSA HOOKWAY, TRAVEL CONSULTANT, AMERICAS (SEP 11)
Rarely do lengthy transfers turn out to be so memorable, for all the right reasons. The Transpanteria road from Cuiaba to the heart of the Brazilian Pantanal may be clouded with red dust on occasion, and somewhat bumpy, but the amount of wildlife to be seen on the way is phenomenal.
NORTH EAST ARGENTINA - LOUISE MUMFORD, PRODUCT MANAGER, AMERICAS (SEP 11)
There are plenty of opportunities to ride horses on ranches in Argentina but not too many where you get to ride alongside the gauchos and watch them at work.
SOUTH AFRICA - MARK RENSHAW, TRAVEL CONSULTANT - A&K AT HARRODS (JUN 11)
I was delighted this special destination not only lived up to the hype but exceeded my expectations in every way. As it turned out, the game was phenomenal and we had spotted the Big Five on our first game drive.
SOUTH AFRICA, THE OLD AND THE NEW - CHARLOTTE WILKS, TRAVEL CONSULTANT - AFRICA & INDIAN OCEAN (JUN 11)
Many people visit South Africa for the game viewing in the Kruger region, some for the world-class wines in the South West. My travels definitely brought out the historian in me as I learned how the country has dramatically changed over the years....
MADAGASCAR - BEN HARRISON, TRAVEL CONSULTANT - AFRICA & INDIAN OCEAN (MAY 11)
We narrowly avoided a second shower of the morning as one ring tail took particular offence to our presence in the sacred forest. I had been advised by my guide that it was considered fady (taboo) by the local Antandroy people to relieve oneself in the forest. Clearly no one had told the lemurs...
MIDDLE EARTH - ROSS PAKES, REGIONAL MANAGER - ASIA AND OCEANIA (MAY 11)
"It's rather a long way to go" tends to be the first reaction I am often encountered with when the suggestion of a holiday to New Zealand is proposed. And, while it's true that you have to sacrifice a full day out of your life to get there, it would be a shame if that was the only thing stopping you. You'd be missing out.
