Destination: Costa Rica

If you’re looking for life-changing adventure beyond the tried and tested travel routes, this is your place.

This is a continent where rhythm rules all. The sound of lions as they prowl the savannah, the thunder of Mosi Oa Tunya (Victoria Falls), the soft plodding of elephant feet in the plains. The language and music of thousands of cultures coming together, the song ‘Kilimanjaro, hakuna matata’ as you stumble into camp after a hard day’s trekking.

This is still a land of extremes; vibrant cosmopolitan cities exist alongside extreme poverty, unrivalled natural beauty gives way to arid, isolated deserts, and ancient traditions fight for a place alongside new technology. But there’s a cultural richness and beauty here that has to be experienced in order to be truly understood.

Plus you haven’t lived until you’ve seen an African sunrise; a great red ball of fire rousing the wilds of the Savannah.
