Six Senses Paro is much more than a beautiful place to stay. Perched above Bhutan’s Paro Valley, it draws inspiration from the nearby historic stone ruins and sweeping Himalayan views.

Days here can be as adventurous or leisurely as you please. Hike forested trails toward the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery, visit a local farmhouse for a glimpse of rural life, or spend time with Buddhist monks learning about the country’s spiritual practices.

Come evening, settle in for a candlelit dinner amid the 12th-century ruins of Chubjakha, with traditional Bhutanese dishes, a crackling fire, and masked dance performances.

Mashpi Lodge is the kind of place where kids can spend the whole day outside and still not run out of things to discover.

GeoEx Expert Carey Johnston recently visited with her two boys, and their days were filled with waterfall hikes, hummingbird watching, night walks, and plenty of time searching the cloud forest for frogs and other rainforest critters.

Carey came away just as impressed as they did: “The remoteness, the lodge itself, the service, the cloud forest, everything was truly off the charts for me.”

Portraits from Tswalu Kalahari Reserve. 🐆

On the edge of South Africa’s southern Kalahari, Tswalu protects more than 460 square miles of semi-arid wilderness, making it the country’s largest private reserve. Its vast landscapes are home to iconic African species as well as some of the continent’s more elusive wildlife, making every game drive a little different.

Beyond the wildlife, a big part of the experience at Tswalu is its focus on conservation and research. Through the Tswalu Foundation and its Dedeben Research Centre, visiting scientists study the Kalahari’s biodiversity and changing environment. During their stay, guests have the opportunity to meet researchers and learn about their work firsthand, adding another layer to the Kalahari experience.

Spend time in the subantarctic islands, and you’ll quickly realize just how different one penguin encounter can be from the next. You might find yourself surrounded by thousands of king penguins one day and watching a solitary yellow-eyed penguin, or Hoiho, emerge from the tussock the next.

On Macquarie Island, King penguins gather in large, dense colonies, filling stretches of shoreline with a constant flurry of sound and movement. Remarkably, amid all that noise, they can pick out the distinctive calls of their partners and chicks from thousands of other voices.

Hoiho, whose Māori name means “noise shouter” in reference to their shrill calls, offer a very different kind of encounter. Found only in New Zealand and considered one of the rarest penguins in the world, they tend to be much more solitary. With pairs choosing secluded sites to nest, coming across one can feel like a real discovery.

From open savannas and woodlands to dense tropical forests, elephants inhabit a remarkable range of environments across regions of Africa and Asia.

Highly intelligent and social, they form close family groups and communicate in complex ways. They also play an important role in the ecosystem by dispersing seeds, shaping vegetation, and creating pathways used by other wildlife.

On World Elephant Day, we honor these extraordinary animals and the wild places that continue to sustain them. 🐘
