VIRA VIRA LODGE

Located in the picturesque Araucanía region of Chile’s Lake District, homeland of the courageous Mapuche people, is a spectacular 22-hectare (34-acre) estate: Vira Vira. Dramatic landscapes of breathtaking glacial lakes mirror the snowy tips of nearby volcanoes, while within the rainforests gracing the surrounding national parks, evergreen Araucaria araucana (monkey puzzle) trees, some over 1 000 years old, stand tall. This region is both the gateway to Patagonia, and a thrilling adventure haven.

PROPERTIES:

PUNAKHA RIVER LODGE BHUTAN

Nestled deep within the lush embrace of the Punakha Valley and gracefully poised along the banks of the Mo Chu. Boasting uninterrupted views of the Himalaya, idyllically set on the banks of the Mo Chu, the lodge rewards guests with direct, and exclusive, access to the river. Soft tranquil notes from the nearby perennial stream can be heard from the lodge’s exquisite suites.

SPA TREATMENS

Wake up to birdsong as the sun rises over the Zambezi River, reflecting the colours all around you. Listen to playful vervet monkeys scampering in the canopy as you watch elephants feed on the seed pods dropped from a nearby tree.

YOGA STUDIO

Dotted along the riverbank, Time + Tide Chongwe is set at the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers which wind through the forested valley, creating a haven for wildlife like lions, leopards and wild dog.

INTERACTIVE KITCHEN

Our food is locally-inspired and seasonal, not to mention, wholesome and delicious. An extensive organic vegetable garden highlights the lodge’s dedication to sourcing local, sustainably-grown ingredients. A traditional Bhutanese cooking class in our outdoor interactive kitchen allows you to learn more.

DINING LOCATIONS

Enjoy sundowners, a picnic or your meals in a variety of al fresco locations such as the outdoor lodge deck, the swimming pool, amongst the lush paddy fields, overlooking the river, the suspension bridge or the privacy of your suite.

Why to travel to East Africa:

Home of the classical safari
Wide open landscapes, with rolling hills and grass savannas
Multitude of wildlife species
Travellers are almost certain to see lots of wildlife, with many species visible at the same time and relatively little time in between sightings
Magnificent natural landscapes draw the eye even when there are not lots of wildlife

GREAT MIGRATION

This is a huge drawcard for East Africa. Peak Migration season is considered to be mid-June to the end of October, when the herds are moving between Tanzania and Kenya, with dramatic river crossings in between. However, these animals are present in the Serengeti and Mara ecosystems at all times of the year and we prefer to position the Migration as a year-round movement of animals that offers magnificent sightings during different seasons.
