House in the Wild is a private family-owned and operated boutique lodge perched on the banks of the Mara River on the Enonkishu Conservancy.
On what was once an intensive commercial farm on the northern edge of the Mara ecosystem, the rewilding project was the first of its kind where the land use on the edge of the Mara has reverted back to nature. Over the last ten years, the project has seen the range of lands return to their natural state, with common sightings now of wild dogs, leopards and of course the resident pride of lion on the base of the Kileleoni Hill.
House in the Wild is hosted by the Wood family and their dedicated team of staff who are all from the local community. The mess area and five cottages offer the warmth and rustic charm of a family lodge, with all the home comforts you could ask for.
A peaceful and beautiful refuge on the secluded Galu beach to the south
of Mombasa, Kinondo Kwetu is the home of Ida and Filip Anderson (a
Swedish family related to the famed Baron Blixen).
The collection of charming cottages and rooms’ location is protected
by the National Museums of Kenya because of the sacred forests and
traditional lands. Kinondo Kwetu has an array of activities to choose from
including water sports, cultural and nature visits, spa treatments and horse riding on the beach.

Winter sun doesn't have to mean the same destinations year after year. Whether you're dreaming of tropical islands, unforgettable wildlife encounters, bustling cities, or beaches that stretch for miles, there are plenty of destinations that come into their own during winter. If you're already thinking about your next escape, here are five winter sun destinations worth adding to your travel wish list.
When most people think of Thailand, they picture the dry, busy months - the packed beaches, the long queues at temples, the peak-season prices. But, outside of these peak months, Thailand’s green season reveals a softer, more atmospheric side of the country. The landscapes deepen in colour, the pace eases, and familiar places begin to feel more spacious, from temple courtyards and hillside trails to palm-fringed beaches.
Choosing where to stay can completely change the feel of an Algarve holiday. Beyond the region’s larger resorts, there are whitewashed villas overlooking the Atlantic, converted village houses in the countryside, intimate design hotels, and peaceful coastal retreats. From the fishing village of Salema to the quieter landscapes around Vila do Bispo and Lagos, these four stays each offer their own take on southern Portugal, whether you want the freedom of a villa, easy access to the beach, or somewhere small and characterful to come back to after a day exploring.
