\u00a0<\/span>If, like us, you’re already dreaming of your first\u00a0getaway once it is safe to travel again, here are three destinations we\u2019re wanderlusting about and recommend you plan to visit for a post-isolation getaway.<\/p>\n

Kenya<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"Lioness

Lions in Kenya<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Kenya is an amazing destination all year round. If you decide to visit between late June to October, you’ll have the chance to witness the annual wildebeest migration. It’s truly incredible to see them crossing the Mara River between the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya.<\/p>\n

We’d recommend combining your trip with a couple of days relaxing in the coastal city of Mombasa which has stunning beaches, delicious cuisine and wonderful hospitality.<\/p>\n

Suggested itineraries:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
