Chile boasts some of the best vineyards in the Americas. It’s an area of great natural beauty, but for wine lovers the real attraction is the many wineries which open their doors for tastings and tours. We’ll prepare an itinerary just for you to experience the very best.

The first steam powered locomotive in South Africa pulled out of Durban in 1860 on its way to Harbour Point. Within 50 years, the entire country was criss crossed by railway lines. Travelling by train remains the finest way to explore South Africa, especially aboard the luxurious Rovos Rail.

Its rivers are the lifeblood of India: more than 500 million people live in the Ganges Basin alone. Travelling by water on a luxury river cruise, you will see rural life and ancient temples along the shore but also experience stretches of unspoilt wilderness, which today are increasingly rare.

Did someone say wine? While you may have come to South Africa for Cape Town and the Big Five, they face stiff competition from the very best New World vineyards. Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are household names, and their excellent microclimate suits not only vines but visitors as well.
