One third of the world’s 1,000 remaining ...

One third of the world’s 1,000 remaining endangered mountain gorillas live on the steep slopes and misty peaks of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park. This wild and wonder-filled place was once home base for legendary conservationist Dian Fossey, who is often credited with saving the species from extinction and whose story was famously told in the movie “Gorillas in the Mist”.⁠
⁠
Dian Fossey’s work to study and protect the lives of the wild gorillas in Rwanda touched the hearts of people around the world. Her focus, courage and passion have inspired many conservationists who have followed since. And her legacy lives on, in the gorilla protection, science, education and people programs of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.⁠
⁠
Today, you can visit the architecturally stunning Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund - a multi-building, $13.4 million investment that anchors the region as a conservation hub for ecological preservation and education in Africa. ⁠
⁠
This 12-acre campus champions gorilla conservation through its architecture, with state-of-the art classrooms, housing, a museum, a fully equipped laboratory, and a 360-degree theater.⁠

Trek deep into unspoiled volcanic rainforests to track endangered mountain gorillas in the wild, eventually coming face to face with one of your closest relatives in the animal kingdom. ⁠
⁠
These enchanting animals are in fact so closely related to humans, sharing 98% of human DNA, that they are susceptible to catching a cold should you sneeze in their direction. ⁠
⁠
As you take part in one of the most successful conservation efforts on the planet, the magic of their mirror-like movements will leave you in awe. ⁠
⁠
Alongside expert trackers and rangers from the local⁠
community, you’ll be able to observe them as they eat, play, nap, and feed their young. ⁠
⁠
There are just 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the wild and visiting them in their natural habitat is a privilege that few people will ever get to experience.⁠

Lion cubs born in the Ngorongoro Crater have a higher chance of survival compared to those born in other areas. The unique ecosystem of the crater, with its abundant prey and natural barriers, allows cubs such as these to learn and grow in a protected environment. These free-roaming little lion cubs are a true symbol of the wild and untamed beauty of Mama Africa. ⁠

At the award-winning Tierra Patagonia, on the edge of Torres del Paine, awaits a Chilean adventure of a lifetime.
⁠
The architecture of the lodge is beautifully integrated into the landscape and offers sensational views of the park as well as the nearby Lake Sarmiento. The design is as extraordinary as it is purely Patagonian with locally-sourced materials and artworks throughout.

Hike to the namesake towers of the Torres del Paine National Park, or, to marvel at them from a distance, opt for the trail along the Cornisas instead for a dramatic view of the famous landscape. The local huasos will gladly let you ride along on horseback with them, or you can take a boat to see the Grey Glacier.

And whatever you eat, you can be sure it won’t have travelled very far: seafood such as king crab is caught in the Magellan Strait, lamb is from locally reared ruminants, and even the herbs and berries are freshly foraged.
