Chiawa Camp, Zambia

In the south of Zambia, on the border of Zimbabwe and Mozambique, you will find Lower Zambezi National Park. Here you can spend the night in Chiawa Camp. Upon arrival you will immediately receive a crash course in 'dealing with wild animals', because you will have a lot of contact with them. It is an open camp, the animals walk in and out. For example, an elephant can suddenly appear in your bathroom, you can see them wandering through the camp around lunchtime and you can see them running from a distance. What other wild animals can you spot here?

Maxx Royal, Turkey

Hidden among the hills on the Turkish Riviera you will find Maxx Royal Kemer Resort. Here everything is grand, but refined at the same time. Suites start at 100 square meters, villas go up to 450 square meters. Every day, between four and half past nine, sunset parties take place on the pristine white beach, including performances by world-famous DJs and live bands. The sporty holidaymaker is exactly at home here; you can play tennis, paragliding and rock climbing there. In addition, there are also group lessons that you can participate in, such as yoga and kickboxing. Golf enthusiasts can book a villa in another branch of MAXX Royale, which has its own golf course.

Dar Ahlam, Morocco

In the middle of Morocco, in the town of Skoura, you will find a hotel in a hundred-year-old kasbah. A hotel with stories. Even if you stay there for a week, you will never eat in the same setting. You should definitely also spend a night in the camp that Dar Ahlam has in the Sahara. The route there is framed by mountains in all shades of red. Eventually you will end up at the famous sand dunes. The last meters are covered by dromedary. The tent is furnished with floor cushions, a double bed and portraits on the wall. When it gets dark, a starry ceiling appears. Wherever you look you see stars. You would want to stay here for a thousand and one nights.
