Travel + Leisure just asked the pros a simple question: which trips are actually worth the splurge?

Their answer? The same one the industry keeps giving, year after year.

An African safari. 🐘

Not the fifth trip to Europe. Not the resort you'll forget by February. The one journey travel professionals — people who've seen everything — still call the splurge worth making.

They can't all be wrong.

And here's what most of them won't tell you: the version worth splurging on isn't the crowded one. It's small. Ours are capped at 8 guests per departure — private concessions, charter flights between camps, dinner aboard the Royal Livingstone Express, and guides who've worked this ground for over 35 years.

Our 2026 Explorer Safaris are open now, and one departure is already down to its last 4 seats.
