Eastern Europe | Slovenia, Croatia, Romania There are more than a thousand islands scattered along the coast of Croatia.

Romania’s experience may not be as graceful as Croatia’s, but it is one of the few quiet corners that can bring us back to the old days. Members of the European royal family often come here in summer, avoiding popular places such as South France and Greece, living in seclusion in mountains and fields, or staying in stone and wood country houses. The guide will take you on horseback, hike or ride, visit blacksmith shops, apiaries and carpet workshops that inherit crafts, visit Saxon and Gypsy families, and taste authentic farm dishes. This is not a tourist show, but the real daily life of local people. Although there are no luxury hotel chains here, thanks to the favor of European royalty, there are still quaint residences that are not so modern, and many private houses are also open to reservations when they are free.
Northern Europe | Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Greenland
In urban life, we are used to defining, summarizing and comparing in order to seek the most efficient solution. The charm of traveling lies in putting aside the inherent way, opening the senses and growing naturally in other places.
Northern Europe advocates coexistence with nature, and the travel experience is also natural. The plank road doesn’t need to be deliberately repaired, the trail doesn’t need to be too wide, the signs are hidden in the environment, and most tourist facilities are invisible. Standing quietly between heaven and earth, feeling the vastness, and acknowledging the smallness and limitation of oneself, has become a kind of relief from letting nature take its course. Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands and Greenland are geographically close but have different personalities.
Like a lively teenager in Norway, he embraces nature through outdoor sports and explores new things like children. Iceland has always maintained a rational gray tone, occasionally exposing the heat under the cold; The Faroe Islands hide shyly behind the green velvet curtain, listening to the gentle waves at night, smelling the sheep bleating on the hillside, and watching the dim lights of wooden houses, which is just right to soothe people’s hearts. Greenland is like a bard, quietly singing the power of creation and destruction of nature, hazy and profound. Western Europe | Switzerland, France, UK, Ireland In mid-June, high-altitude trails and cable cars in Switzerland opened one after another, and the hidden Shan Ye vein appeared since then.

The guide will choose the hiking route with suitable difficulty according to your physical fitness.

Rolling hills and castles, dense vineyards and olive trees, cicadas chirping in the breeze, quiet rivers, lost lagoons, ghosts of Vermeer, Picasso and Van Gogh, ghosts of Voltaire and Rousseau, brushstrokes from another era, the ancient arches through the Pont du Gard, and all its glory. Further south, on the Cote d ‘Azur, rugged reefs surround the beach, like a yellow carpet with distinct colors. In the distance, the silhouette of Cannes, the pink castle, and the purple Alps on the Italian border are reflected on the sea, rippling with the seagrass in the clear shallow water. The boy summoned up the courage to jump from the cliff into the sea, and the waves stirred up wet the girl’s skirt. If you pursue classic nostalgia, you can go to famous seaside cities such as Cannes, Nice and Saint-Tropez, which are as glamorous as Chloris’s lips. If you want to find a quieter place to live and an inaccessible coastline, You can visit the lesser-known Languedoc, with its stretches of beaches and quaint farms surrounded by vineyards.

Proud wanderers, saints and sinners, with an area only equivalent to four Ireland in Beijing, have created a full and strong Celtic epic. Joyce, Wilde, Yeats and Beckett’s “Riverdance”, which is depressed, lonely and lost, with myths and dreams intertwined, and the rich and desolate Irish bagpipes, hides the purest memory and imagination of this country on the west coast of Ireland. To this literary island, With the sound of the waves of the Atlantic, Enter the world of Ulysses. Africa | Madagascar, Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, Namibia Although Tanzania and Kenya are in the spectacular season of wildebeest crossing the Mara River, most of the quality accommodation has already been sold out six months ago, making it extremely difficult to book. Botswana, Namibia and Madagascar still have opportunities, which can also bring unforgettable travel experiences.
Botswana can be called the top match of African safari. On the one hand, it benefits from the government’s luxurious positioning plan, and on the other hand, it favors the seasonal flow of rivers from the Angolan plateau into the Kalahari Desert, creating the largest inland delta on earth (June to October), providing unique opportunities to track wildlife from both land and water.
In addition, different from grassland safari, the desert climate of Makadikadi Salt Marsh seems to break into another continent. There are only about 8,000 striped hyenas in the world, and lovely meerkats who are not afraid of people. You can drive an ATV across salt marshes and camp in the desert under the vast starry sky.
In addition to animal safari, Namibia also has a rich scenery of red desert, blue ocean and yellow Gobi, which makes the visual impact and activity experience full of changes at all times. The salt marsh plains of Etosha are excellent for safaris; The red sand dunes of the Namib Desert and the desolation and ruggedness of the Skeleton Coast are awe-inspiring. We offer small groups of seven or independent packages, all equipped with the best modified vehicles and the most experienced guides in the country.
In Madagascar, travelers have the opportunity to meet unique creatures that only live here. When the Gondwana supercontinent split 165 million years ago, ancient species were trapped on this island 400 kilometers away from the African continent and have evolved independently since then. Here owns More than 300 species of frogs (new discoveries are made every year) and half of the globe’s chameleon species, as well as the island’s animal star-the lemur family.
If you care about the time cost and your budget allows, it is recommended to use a private jet to connect with Madagascar’s inland transportation. Its price is not out of reach, and it effectively saves four meaningless days of land transit. In order to alleviate the boredom of long-distance driving, the off-road vehicle version of the 12 th route has added three protected areas along the way: Amber Mountain, Ankarana and Nosy Be Island, representing the rainforest, stone forest and marine landform in turn. For travelers planning to safari in East Africa in the third quarter, although high-quality resources are in short supply, if less than six people travel, some dates may still match suitable choices. In early July, wildebeest and zebra herds migrated to the western corridor of the Serengeti, facing the most dangerous time of the year: crossing the Mara River. Usually, the first batch of successful people have appeared in the Masai Mara grassland of Kenya at the end of July; The crossings of large troops reached their peak in August, and the carnival of hunters never stopped; The September crossing subsided, and survivors scattered the Masai Mara to recuperate. In the increasingly crazy tourist season, it can be described as “traffic congestion” in national parks. In recent years, European and American tourism industries and local governments have begun to reflect on the impact of the influx of tourists on animal activities. In order to avoid crowds as much as possible and keep safaris as secretive and exciting, we only arrange sustainable camps in private property adjacent to national parks (Supports off-road driving and hiking safaris) to explore the East African grasslands in a slower, comfortable and more private way.
North America | Canada, Alaska, USA Located on the west coast of Canada, in the dense rainforest of British Columbia next to the Pacific Ocean, American black bears The Comode bear (also known as the white spirit bear), which is recessively mutated in gene, is the brightest star here. Since mid-August, salmon begins to migrate, and white spirit bears will prey on salmon along the stream and store winter fat, which is the best season for field observation. The coast of this area is also A roost paradise for humpback, fin and orca whales. Humans also have a place in the rainforest. There is no road here, and you can only reach the hidden wild luxury hotel by seaplane. They either lean on the river or are located in the mountains and forests, low-key and humble, for fear of disturbing this tranquility. You can also rent a sailing boat to sail, which makes your activities more flexible and covers a wider range. Besides tracking wild animals, you can also follow aboriginal guides to find woodcut totems in the rainforest. Backed by the vast wilderness and ocean, Alaska’s primitive wildness has not been tamed by the prevailing consumerism in the United States. It may not make you fall in love at first sight, but it always makes you feel the tenacity and impermanence of vitality. Brown bears devour fish by shoal streams, moose in heat roar angrily in the forest, pine forests are torn apart by storms, glaciers crumble and roar in valleys, this is a land ruled by absolute natural forces. Avoid the artificial plank road of Katmai National Park where tour groups gather, take a cross-country plane across Cook Inlet, and track brown bears on foot after landing; Take a speedboat to the wooden cabin villa facing the mountains and the sea. The interior is simple and modern with complete facilities. Be next to giant beasts in the wild environment without guardrails.

Wilderness Behemoth of Southern Alaska, USA, 9 th South America | Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica The wildness of the American continent is unparalleled in the world, which is not only reflected in the roar of wilderness behemoths (cougar, jaguar, caiman), but also in the afterglow of the ancient Indian civilization and the blood shed brought by the conquerors in the age of great navigation.
The “vassal separatism” in the pre-Inca period and the unification of the empire in the Inca period collapsed in front of the guns of the Spanish conquistadors, but In the fields of architecture, astronomy and agriculture, it has created achievements that contemporary civilizations could not match. These heritages survive to this day, which is amazing.
Traveling with Peru and Bolivia is our first choice, taking into account both nature and culture, and the tourism development is just right. In addition to the classic route, niche experiences such as tribal fairs, hiking in villages and Inca sites, handicrafts, food and wine will also be arranged; Take an off-road vehicle for three days across Salar de Uyuni, and stay at a comfortable hotel in the desert at an altitude of 4,200 meters. For outdoor enthusiasts, you can measure the mountains on foot, stay in five wild luxury hotels along the way, and slowly unveil the mystery of the Inca Empire. The themes of Costa Rica and Ecuador focus on wildlife and natural landforms (volcanoes/rainforests/islands). Every year from July to October, green turtles, hawksbill turtles and leatherback turtles never come to the coast of Costa Rica to lay eggs. When we observed this miracle of life at close range in an undisturbed way, some guests were moved to tears. Even more spectacular scenes are from August to September, when humpback whales trudge halfway around the world from Antarctica to Costa Rica to breed their calves. When the young whale grows to about 10 weeks, it will return to Antarctica with its mother. This 25,000-kilometer migration is the longest among mammals. Ecuador has two unique ecosystems: Galapagos Islands and Amazon Rainforest. The former is dry and vast, while the latter is humid and dense, each breeding different animals and plants. Relying on luxury cruise ships and hotels, the travel experience is more comfortable. We offer two versions of the line, boarding and hotel, to suit the different preferences of guests. When it comes to Galapagos cruise selection, we eschewed popular brands and signed up directly to three local owners. Its hardware facilities are not inferior to competing products, and each ship can carry no more than 20 passengers. Each guide can serve up to 10 guests, completing the exploration in a more private, in-depth and flexible way.
Asia & Australia | Mongolia, China Ali, Papua New Guinea Mongolia’s vast grassland, Gobi and mountains are the collective homesickness of Eurasia. Although they are close neighbors, they are often forgotten. In the past, the golden iron horse was as tough as weeds, but the disappearance of today’s nomadic culture shows its fragility.
In order to take you to reshape the migration civilization of nomadic people, we have planned two parts of the eastern grassland and the western Altai Mountains. Relying on the support of herdsmen and a strong logistics team, we have built wild luxury yurts in uninhabited land, exploring the wilderness, and at the same time, there is no lack of comfortable places to live and sleep peacefully. If you look for the only world-class route on the map of China, Ali, Tibet deserves it. Although the accommodation and catering conditions are relatively backward, the towering altitude and long distance also make it temporarily avoid over-exploitation. The route takes into account both nature and culture, with few tourists and vast space, and there are often surprises along the way (friendly herders/wild animals/wilderness sunsets). Tracing back four hundred years after the destruction of Buddhism in Tubo, how Tibetan Buddhism was revived under the leadership of Guge Kingdom. Visit the grotto murals and the ruins of the Buddhist temple in the palace; Thunderstorms and dark clouds suddenly appear on the empty Tibetan plateau in summer, and everything is particularly mysterious and full of power. Papua New Guinea is located at the intersection of the Asian continental shelf and the Pacific Ocean, The area is equivalent to Sichuan Province, but it has more than 800 languages (accounting for one-seventh of the world). The land divided by rainforests, rivers and mountains is home to more than a thousand relatively closed tribes, especially in the highlands and Sepik River Basin. At the same time, more than 30 species of paradise birds and rare wild orchids also added a lot of color to the journey. The country’s tourism development is limited, and inland transportation is inconvenient. We will connect remote areas with the help of commercial planes of local private enterprises; Hire the best guides to lead the team, who not only maintain good relations with tribal elders for many years, but also have the professional qualities to receive tourists from the United States and Australia, so as to take you to a safe and surprising exploration in the border land.
