Magelang Regency

Uncover the soul-stirring magic of Buddhism at the world’s largest temple complex.

Most people find themselves in Magelang for one reason alone, and that’s to visit Borobadur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s thought to have been built sometimes between AD 778 and AD 856, some 300 years before Angkor Watt and 200 years before Notre Dame. The enormous complex is in the shape of a mandala ( a geometric aid to meditation), hewn from two million blocks of stone, and arranged in spectacular, wedding-cake like tiers. It’s Indonesia’s most iconic sight and you’ll need at least half a day to explore fully – with a little time to battle the crowds, both domestic and international. If you have long enough, hike to the top of nearby Setumbu Hill at sunrise and watch as the magnificent complex is illuminated by the sun’s first rays.

Trip of a Lifetime

August 2026

10 nights in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda

This truly was a trip of a lifetime, and we wanted to share some of the highlights. The hotels were all amazing, and every single transfer was prompt. We felt so well taken care of throughout our travels. We loved the animals, the game drives, gorilla trekking, and golden monkey trekking, and eating breakfast and lunch out in the bush was such a special touch. We even got to see the Big 5 all in one day, traveling from Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara! A special shoutout to our first driver, Ken. He truly set the tone for what an engaging game drive should be. His knowledge of the animals and nature made every drive memorable.

6 nights in Argentina

We absolutely love working with Timbuktu for our trips! We are big travelers but we have busy jobs and don’t have time to do hours of research. Timbuktu has a great team of experts who can perfectly plan your trip and present all sorts of options to you so you can have the trip fit your preferences without it being at all difficult or time-consuming. And the partners on the ground do exceptional work as well! We loved our guides all across Argentina and the trip went super smoothly. Carola was our trip planner and we could not have asked for more! She worked with us to craft our perfect itinerary and handled any issues that came up while we were traveling quickly and easily. We are already planning our next trip with Timbuktu!

10 nights in South Africa

Tessa and Timbuktu put together a trip of a lifetime for us. The trip moving through South Africa to 3 different safari lodges required planning to move us from lodge to lodge. Tessa pulled that off the transfers went smoothly, We would highly recommend Tessa and Timbuktu.
