iSimangaliso Wetland Park stretches along the northern KwaZulu-Natal coast from Maphelane to the Mozambique border. It brings together beaches, coral reefs, coastal forests, dunes, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, grasslands, and savanna within one protected landscape. The park is South Africa’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site and includes several separate conservation areas linked by their ecological systems. Its name, iSimangaliso, is an isiZulu word associated with miracles and wonders.
Farther from a continental landfall than any other group of islands on earth, the twelve Marquesas jut out of the open Pacific just south of the equator, shrouded in a constant cloud cover.
Nestled along the stunning Sognefjord in Norway, the charming town of Olden offers a gateway to some of Scandinavia’s most breathtaking landscapes. This picturesque settlement is renowned for its proximity to the Jostedalsbreen Glacier, the largest glacier in mainland Europe.
Nestled amid fantasy-like landscapes of unsurpassed beauty. Day cruise on the Li River, the Reed Flute Cave, the Elephant Trunk Hill are some of the tourist attractions.
