Editor s Note: Travel might be complicated right now, but use our inspirational trip ideas to plan ahead for your next bucket list adventure.
In a typical year, I travel for four months, scouting the best properties and experiences for my travel agency s clients, consulting for the finest hospitality brands, and shooting for my photography portfolio. Last year, I decided to try to travel safely during Covid-19. When I closed my eyes and dreamt big, all I could think about was being back in Africa, a continent that moves me deeply. I ve traveled to Africa over 50 times and dreamed of being back in Tanzania, one of the most extraordinary places I have ever visited.

In addition to wildlife as a tourist attraction, geological features are drawing visitors to northern Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The geological features have been collectively established as Ngorongoro Lengai Geopark, whose geological history dates back 500 million years.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) management is now developing tourist lodges and other visitor service facilities in the geopark to attract foreign and local visitors, heritage manager Joshua Mwankunda said. It receives about 600,000 visitors every year.
