Poised at the gateway of the legendary W Trek, this authentic estancia delivers front-row seats to nature's grand performance. The Kusanovic family has called this dramatic corner of Patagonia home since the early 20th century, transforming their working ranch into an adventure-seeker's paradise. From the cosy lounge, floor-to-ceiling windows frame those impossible-to-ignore towers, while the property's own organic garden and farm supply the kitchen with its distinctly Patagonian flavours.

Nestled on the edge of the world-renowned Torres del Paine National Park, Estancia Cerro Guido stands as a beacon of Patagonian heritage and natural beauty. This sprawling estancia (ranch) offers a unique blend of rugged wilderness and cozy luxury, inviting guests to step back in time to a simpler, more connected way of life. With its historic architecture, stunning vistas of the Paine Massif, and a working farm atmosphere, Cerro Guido provides an unparalleled experience. Guests can immerse themselves in the rhythms of ranch life, enjoy horseback rides across vast pampas, and relax in rooms that whisper stories of yesteryears, all while being enveloped by some of the most dramatic landscapes on the planet.

At the very edge of the earth, where the vast steppe meets imposing mountains, this striking wooden structure curves organically along a bluff overlooking a glacial lake. The design is nothing short of genius – local lenga wood bends and flows with the landscape rather than fighting against it, creating a cocoon of comfort from which to observe the wild drama unfolding outside. Step through the doors, and you'll discover forty elegant suites, all positioned to maximize those jaw-dropping views of the pampas and the iconic massif beyond. This is where intrepid adventurers rest their weary legs after days spent exploring one of the world's most spectacular national parks and where the ever-changing light creates a different masterpiece on the landscape every hour of the day.

Wild Forest Camp offers a soulful, under-canvas safari experience in the unspoilt Ol Chorro Conservancy. The camp is tucked into a forest grove of Euclea trees, surrounded by birdsong and giving it a real sense of privacy and seclusion. As soon as you emerge from the forest, a sweep of open savannah unfolds before you, with Balanite trees dotting the horizon. It’s a phenomenal sight particularly at sunset. The area boasts superb wildlife viewing in a peaceful setting - with only a couple of safari properties on Ol Chorro, it is never crowded.

Royal Zebra River Lodge sits nestled along the banks of the Talek River, offering a front-row seat to the wildlife-rich plains of the Maasai Mara.

It serves as an intimate and comfortable base for exploring Kenya's world-famous wildlife movements and expansive savannas.

Kichwa Tembo Camp, like its sister Bateleur Camp, lies in the western Mara in a private concession that has been leased from its Maasai landlords. Fewer visitors come to this region, although the landscape is filled with wild animals all year, so you're assured more private viewings. The camp lies directly in the path of the annual Great Migration and, in season, you're likely to get the best sightings of the stampeding animals crossing the Mara River, the stuff of documentaries worldwide.

In the heart of the famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, Seringet is a permanent tented camp — nine guest tents, a single long mess table, and an unbroken horizon of Mara grass. It is a camp built for guests who want the Mara on their own terms.

Set inside the Reserve itself, Seringet sits on ground the great migration crosses every July through October — you are not driving in, you are already there. Wildlife moves past the tents: leopard, elephant, the occasional visiting lion. From first light until the last of the dust settles, the Mara is outside your tent, not an hour's drive away.

Positioned in Patagonia's adventure capital, this welcoming base strikes the perfect note between comfort and practicality. The spa provides much-needed muscle relief after glacier hikes, while the artisan bakery's morning aromas could tempt even the most determined mountaineer to linger over breakfast. It's refreshingly unpretentious, focusing instead on the essentials that matter after a day in the wild.

Brown's has been taking in guests on Albemarle Street since 1832, which makes it one of London's oldest hotels – and it wears its age well. Built from a row of Georgian townhouses in the heart of Mayfair, the hotel has hosted royalty, presidents and a long line of writers. Kipling worked on The Jungle Book here over decades of writing retreats, Agatha Christie borrowed it for At Bertram's Hotel, and Alexander Graham Bell made Britain's first telephone call from the building in 1876. Now, a stay at Brown's is all wood panelling and deep armchairs contrasted with modern art and bright upholstery - and a good dose of personality, too.
