Namibia proved to be a beautiful and varied country and during the two-week tour we explored many facets of this Southern African gem. In the north we enjoyed the prolific wildlife of Etosha, Namibia’s premier national park, where herds of Elephants, Giraffe, Zebra, Impala, Oryx, Springbok and many other herbivores were seen at close quarters. As for the carnivores, the highlight for many was a group of three Cheetahs gambolling around on a small hill overlooking a waterhole.

Japan is a unique and fascinating country to explore. This beautiful chain of islands, born of the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’, is a perplexing mix of the ultra-modern and ancient. Vast cities that never sleep are lit by a kaleidoscope of neon and kept moving by futuristic technology and automation, the likes of which we have yet to see further west.

Naturetrek and our hosts in Abruzzo, Geraldine and Marco, formed a winning partnership many years ago. The hotel’s perfect location, nestled just outside the quiet town of Pescasseroli, our hosts’ warm and engaging hospitality, coupled with excellent local cuisine really does make the Albergo Paradiso the perfect base. With our first group visiting back in 2002, we have since sent many clients to enjoy this special region, and Geraldine and Marco are always happy to host more!
