Epic Socially-Distanced Destinations

Avoid human contact and get up close with nature instead, on a wildlife Safari in Botswana. As Africa's least-densely-populated country, you'll have plenty of room to go in search of the Big Five on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Watch large herds of elephant traversing the vast grassy plains of Chobe National Park and look out for crocodile lurking in the shallows of the Okavango Delta. If you're lucky, you may also spot a pride of lion sleeping in the shade of a baobab tree or a leopard hunting its prey. 

Lose yourself in the dense Iwokrama Rainforest of Guyana in South America. Feel as though you're on another planet as you watch golden-winged parakeets swoop through the jungle and spot laid back sloths relaxing on low hanging branches. Get a unique perspective of the forest from suspended walkways and observation decks high up in the canopy, and come face-to-face with dazzling pink Pompadour Cotinga and foraging spider monkeys. 

Find a special kind of solace in the desolate mountain landscapes of Mongolia. One of the tell-tale signs that few people frequent these sacred lands is the lack of roads and bumpy dirt tracks, but the journey is more than worth it to see the vast, unspoilt grassy plains and dramatic jagged peaks soaring into clear blue skies. There are few creature comforts in this remote hideaway, so we'll camp in traditional Ger Yurts right in the heart of the Gobi Desert and under the shadow of the Bayanzag mountains. 

There are fewer places on earth more remote than the icy Polar Regions. The frozen Arctic is a place where civilisation is scarce and wildlife king. Go in search of snow-white polar bear, wild arctic fox and large-tusked walrus on a voyage around the Svalbard archipelago. Cruise past towering icebergs on our hardy expedition ship and jump in a small zodiac RIB to get up close with herds of seal resting on drifting ice floes. 

The only way to reach the luminous turquoise glacial waters of Mount Fitz Roy in Patagonia is by foot, so there's little chance of finding hordes of tourists in this uninhabitable landscape. Hike over rough terrain and scramble up rocky trails to this epic panorama set on South America's southernmost tip. Camp in the shelter of a forest at the heart of this remote highland wilderness before hiking through Los Glaciares National Park.
