Ryan Johnston, Managing Director of Destinology: “We asked our experts, if money was no object, what would our clients like to do and what does their dream holiday look like? After thoughtful consideration, we have imagined this exclusive once-in-a-lifetime holiday. The whole team is very passionate about this itinerary and has worked hard to perfect every single element, to offer high-level accommodation alongside remote expeditions that all offer out-of-this-world experiences: From gorilla trekking and wild safaris in Africa, to ancient temples and elephant encounters in Asia and enchanting Uluru outback adventures followed by snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef in Australia – these core family memories are worth every penny”. 

The tremendous trip starts in Kigali, Rwanda, including three nights in a Forest Villa in Volcanoes National Park with a gorilla trekking excursion. Guests are then transferred by private charter helicopter to Akagera National Park for a spectacular safari experience.
