Japan
2026 is set to be one of the most magical years to visit Japan, especially during the Easter period, when the iconic Cherry Blossom (Sakura) season is in full bloom. Wander through Tokyo’s Shinjuku Gyoen Park, marvel at Kyoto’s historic temples, and soak in the beauty of Mount Fuji. Spring transforms Japan into a breathtaking pink wonderland.

Indonesia
Indonesia offers extraordinary experiences for every type of traveler. Cruise through the wild jungles of Borneo aboard a traditional Klotok boat in Kalimantan, spotting orangutans in their natural habitat. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Bunaken Island in North Sulawesi, home to vibrant coral reefs, and explore Tangkoko National Park for its rare wildlife. Conclude your journey in Lombok, surrounded by stunning scenery and peaceful beaches.

Rwanda
Rwanda promises one of the most intimate wildlife experiences on Earth — gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. Combine this with a Big Five safari in Akagera National Park, and you’ll witness Africa’s wild beauty at its finest. With its lush hills, warm people, and commitment to conservation, Rwanda is a destination that will leave a lasting impression.
