Find your pace in Kentucky’s wildest corner

(London, Kentucky)

Tucked away in the Appalachian foothills of Kentucky, London — yes, it’s really called London — offers adventure at every altitude.

Paddle or fish across the 5,600-acre Laurel River Lake, where forested coves and sandstone cliffs shape a natural playground for kayakers and anglers.

Prefer dry land? London is known as the Cycling Capital of Kentucky, with hundreds of miles of scenic routes from winding backroads to the famed Redbud Ride each spring.

Trails lead through the forest, while local life comes alive each September at the World Chicken Festival — home to live music, fried food and the world’s largest frying pan.

Outdoorsy, friendly and full of character, this is Kentucky off the beaten track.

Track rhinos in Kenya

(Ol Pejeta Conservancy)

This isn’t your average safari.

At Ol Pejeta Conservancy — a 90,000-acre reserve in the foothills of Mount Kenya — guests help fund frontline conservation while actively taking part in the work itself. Join rangers for a morning fitness session, follow rhino tracks on foot or take part in a mock anti-poaching mission.

Alongside classic game drives, you’ll also get the chance to meet the last two northern white rhinos on Earth and explore one of Kenya’s best-preserved ecosystems, home to elephants, lions, Grevy’s zebra and more.

Stay in luxury tents or private cottages, with every booking supporting wildlife protection and local communities. Whether you’re there for purpose or adventure, this is travel that leaves a legacy.
