2024 is all about firsthand encounters with the extraordinary. Here are eight unexpected destinations that have become places where we're lingering a little longer this year—each deeply intertwined with community and nature.

In the heart of South Africa's Overberg region, near the southernmost tip of the continent, tucked between mountains, forest, and sea, lies Grootbos Private Nature Reserve.  Home to a unique botanical safari, the marine Big Five, farm-to-fork cuisine, limitless views of the Atlantic coastline, and one of the smallest and most diverse plant kingdoms on Earth, Alicia-Rae Light takes you on a journey where the flowers wait.

In this issue, we explore different approaches to safari: Grootbos’ botanical and marine Big Five safari in South Africa and the Manta Resort’s coral safari off Tanzania’s Pemba Island. We stop by South America to the charming island of Chiloé off the coast of Chile and visit Colombia’s vibrant seaside city of Cartagena. Plus, we talk to the businesses that encourage travel as a means to give back to their communities.

Crowded highways, long grocery store lines, environmental damage, and a short-term rental crisis threatened the quality of life for approximately 1.5 million people who call Hawai’i home.

Right now, travel might seem a little complicated—but things are looking up and as we move into 2022. Here’s where we’re traveling next year.

JERUSALEM —The sun lowers in the sky as I follow my guide, Khatib, up a set of well-worn stairs which lead to a rooftop he declares has the best view of this storied land. Three lines of blood red script hand-painted on a pale limestone wall catches my eye. It reads, “God is Love” in three languages: English, Arabic and Hebrew.
