Also on A2A Journeys’ list of exciting escapades is Antarctica — the Earth’s final frontier. Imagine this: Standing on the deck of an ice-breaker ship looking out to a vast, white landscape, with rugged icebergs and snow-capped mountains all around. Definitely not a sight one sees everyday! Also exciting are the opportunities for spotting the most unique animals in their natural habitat, which include Humpback and Orca whales, several species of seals, as well as Chinstrap, Adelie, Gentoo, and Macaroni penguins.

Namibia in southwest Africa is fast becoming one of the region’s top destinations, thanks to its contrasting landscapes and sights, ensuring travelers will have one of the best safari experiences of their life. It is located between two deserts — the Namib along the coastline, and Kalahari in the eastern interior. As a result, the scenery is truly diverse with sand dunes, savannahs, deserts, canyons, and coastlines. As for activities, flying on a hot air balloon over a sea of red dunes or marveling at elephants and lions at Etosha National Park are just some of the highlights that await you.
