Few moments in the wild are as disarming as a tiger stepping quietly out of the forest. India is home to around 75% of the world's wild tigers, and the place you return to after each game drive can make all the difference to how you experience them.

Our travel experts have gathered seven of the country's most exceptional places to stay for a tiger safari:

🐅 Oberoi Vindhyavilas, Bandhavgarh National Park
🐅 SUJÁN Sher Bagh, Ranthambore National Park
🐅 Jamtara Wilderness Camp, Pench National Park
🐅 Pench Tree Lodge, Pench National Park
🐅 Oberoi Rajgarh Palace, near Panna National Park
🐅 Reni Pani Jungle Lodge, Satpura Tiger Reserve
🐅 Bori Safari Lodge, Satpura Tiger Reserve

From a 1920s-style tented camp on the edge of Ranthambore to a 350-year-old palace in the hills near Panna, each offers its own way into tiger country, whether that's sleeping beneath the stars in the forests that inspired The Jungle Book or following fresh tracks on a walking safari in Satpura.

Park permits are strictly limited, so we recommend planning at least six months ahead, particularly around Diwali and the drier months when sightings are often at their best.

Postcards from the Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique. 🤍✉️
co is a pared-back, light-footprint retreat along the shores of a secluded and pristine saltwater lagoon in Southern Mozambique.

For more inspiration for a December beach escape, take a look at our recent post featuring five of our favourites.

And if a journey to somewhere like this is on your mind for 2026 or 2027, we’d love to help you plan it.

There’s a particular kind of quiet that comes with the first swim of a holiday, when the water is warm enough to stay in and the day has nowhere else to be.
As the northern winter draws in, December is the perfect excuse to swap the cold for sand. On Mahé, granite boulders shelter coves where the rainforest runs almost to the water’s edge. Mnemba is small enough to wander barefoot from end to end, with dhows passing at their own unhurried pace. In the Maldives, the drier months are just beginning, and evenings end with dinner on the sand by lantern light. Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago is all shifting sandbanks and low thatched hideaways, while in Mauritius the best of the day comes late, out on the water as the light turns gold beneath Le Morne.
Mnemba and Bazaruto are also a short flight from safari country in Tanzania and South Africa, so a few days in the bush followed by slow days on the coast is easier to arrange than you might think.
Whether it’s this December or next, our travel specialists would love to help you find the right fit. Save this for when the cold sets in. 🔖

📍 Episode two from Chitwa Chitwa: a look inside the suites.

Following on from her recent stay with our co-founder and director, Greg Fox, our Head of Product and Experience, Vanessa Dean, is taking you on a tour of one of the lodge’s six individually decorated suites. Each opens onto a private deck overlooking the lake, where Vanessa woke each morning to the sound of hippos grunting below.

There’s much more to come from Vanessa and Greg’s time in the Greater Kruger, so stay tuned.

Agatha Christie wrote part of Death on the Nile at the Old Cataract in Aswan. Sit on the terrace as the feluccas turn for home at sunset, and it feels like a scene from one of her novels.

It’s one of our three favourite stays for couples on the Nile, each with a story of its own.

Built in 1899 on a pink granite cliff, the Old Cataract has welcomed Agatha Christie, Winston Churchill, and King Farouk of Egypt. Dinner at its historic 1902 Restaurant is the perfect excuse to pack a vintage tuxedo or evening gown.

Downriver in Luxor, the Winter Palace is where Howard Carter announced the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. Most rooms have a balcony looking out over the Nile, the gardens, or the Valley of the Kings.

Across the water on the West Bank, Al Moudira keeps things quieter, with private courtyards, domed ceilings, and lush gardens close to the Valley of the Kings and Queens.

Each one pairs beautifully with a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan.

📍 On location at one of Greg’s favourite places of all time, Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge.

This week, our founder, Greg Fox, went back with our Head of Product and Experience, Vanessa Dean, who is visiting South Africa from the UK. Chitwa Chitwa is where Greg and his family escape to time and again, and one he’d recommend to our clients in a heartbeat.

Set on the banks of one of the largest lakes in the exclusive 63,000-hectare Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, part of the greater Kruger National Park, the camp is positioned so the main lounge and dining area overlook the water. You can enjoy superb game viewing while staying unobtrusive to the animals gathering at the water’s edge. It’s the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and take in the sights, sounds, and scents of Africa.

✨ Just six suites, for a truly personal safari
✨ Owner-managed, which is rare in the Sabi Sands
✨ Wildlife views from your private deck or plunge pool

Six Nile cruises our Travel Experts know well and love, from private dahabiya charters to Oberoi cruisers. Swipe for our favourites →

The Nile has carried travellers between Luxor and Aswan for thousands of years, and a cruise is still the most relaxed way to see what lies along its banks. Most sailings call at Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo, the Valley of the Kings, and Philae, with an Egyptologist beside you to unravel each site’s story.

✨ How many nights? Four nights covers the main temples at a relaxed pace. Seven or eight nights give you more time on the water.

✨ When to go? Autumn through to spring is the most comfortable time. Summer is hot in Luxor and Aswan, and some boats close: the Oberoi Philae and Sun Boat III in June, while the Zein Nile Château sails from August to May.

✨ Which boat? It depends on who you’re travelling with, what you’d like to experience, and how each one feels once you’re on board. Your Travel Expert will match the boat to the trip you have in mind.

Our Travel Experts have sailed these boats themselves, and it’s that first-hand knowledge behind our place among Condé Nast Traveller’s Top Travel Specialists and in the Top 10 of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Tour Operators.

Food souvenirs have become a way to carry the taste of a trip home.

Our Founding Brand Partner, Liane Goldring, shared her family’s story with Travel+Leisure Southeast Asia: a food tour of southern Sri Lanka’s markets and street vendors with her husband and co-founder Chris Goldring, followed by a tuk-tuk ride to a private outdoor kitchen, where a local chef cooked a Sri Lankan feast alongside them.

They brought home Ceylon cinnamon, curry powder, cardamom, and goraka. Their son’s Sri Lankan lentil dhal is now a firm family favourite.
