How can you plan a trip that covers the best of Africa? And what about the Pacific Islands - where do you begin?

’Tis time for africa

I’m fascinated by Africa: which African country gave you your most memorable trip, and why?

Rwanda. I love that country and have visited numerous times. Its capital Kigali is a clean, vibrant, modern city leading the way in Africa with excellent infrastructure, technology and hospitality offerings. I was invited to name a baby gorilla at the annual Kwita Izina festival and spent a few days after exploring the national parks with gorillas themselves. Some of the top hotel operators like Singita and One & Only have stunning properties there and the combination of wildlife and conservation-driven tourism is something I’ll never forget.

Island adventure

Amongst the Pacific islands, not counting Hawaii, which one do you think one should visit first?

—Shashi K, Via Instagram

French Polynesia! I love that place! It’s one of the most beautiful destinations in the world with an amazing tourism offering, warm welcoming people and fantastic weather year round.
