Botswana looks different this year.

Following some of the heaviest rainfall in living memory, landscapes across the Makgadikgadi, Okavango and Chobe regions have been transformed.

Guide Nic Proust () led our Classic Escapes x University of Virginia () journey through Botswana and Victoria Falls, earlier this season, and over the coming weeks we’ll be sharing notes from the field.

Wildlife. Ecosystems. Conservation. And the moments in between.

Chapter 01 • Flood Year 💧

Sunrise at Camp Xakanaxa overlooking the Okavango. One of the greatest wetlands on earth and already overflowing before the annual floodwaters from Angola have arrived.

Following extraordinary rainfall, landscapes typically dry remained underwater for months. Routes shifted, wildlife concentrated into smaller pockets of dry ground, and our guests experienced Botswana during an extraordinary season of change.

We ended where water becomes thunder. Victoria Falls in full force after one of the wettest periods in recent memory.

Retirement used to mean slowing down. More and more, it means finally taking the journeys that stayed on the list for years.

A safari at sunrise.
The Galápagos.
Antarctica.
Japan in autumn.
A long table in Tuscany.
Not because you’re finished.
Because you finally have time to travel differently.

We recently finalized a custom Tuscany itinerary for a client celebrating her 40th birthday 🍷🇮🇹

The vision was simple:
gather close friends + family in a private villa and create a week that felt beautiful, relaxed, and deeply memorable.

Think long dinners under the Tuscan sky, optional hot air balloon rides, beach days on the coast, Chianti escapes, truffle hunting, wine, slow mornings, and plenty of time to simply be together.

One thing we always try to prioritize when planning group journeys is flexibility. Some travelers want adventure. Others want pool days, long lunches, and downtime. The best itineraries leave room for both.

This is the kind of travel we love creating ✨

Stay of the Month – May 🩵🌺🌴
Soneva Fushi, Maldives ()

In the Maldives, the magic isn’t just above the water… it’s everything happening beneath it. At Soneva Fushi, life unfolds both above and below the surface. Coral gardens, reef fish, and open ocean rhythms shape each day in quiet, remarkable ways.

🌞Days feel unhurried.
🦶🏼Barefoot walks through jungle paths.
🌊Long swims in water that barely ripples.
🧡Sunsets that dissolve slowly into the horizon.

It’s one of those places where the pace softens, and the experience becomes less about doing… and more about simply being.

If you’re planning a honeymoon or celebrating something meaningful, this is one of those places that lives up to the dream. We’d love to help you time it just right.

Travel well. Love the Earth. 🌍

The way we move through the world matters.
Not just where we go, but how we show up when we get there.

• Lighter footprints
• Deeper connections
• More awareness of the places that host us

Because the most meaningful journeys don’t just take from a place, they stay in relationship with it.
Today is Earth Day, but this is something we carry into every trip we design.

Explore with intention!

Some journeys stay with you longer than the photos.

In 2026, Into the Wild returns — in collaboration with Zoo Miami Foundation — a rare opportunity to travel alongside Ron Magill, where every landscape becomes a deeper story of wildlife, conservation, and connection.

Four journeys in total.
Two in 2026, with two more to follow in 2027.

Intentionally small groups.
Designed for those who want more than just seeing — they want understanding.
