ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO
Watch
Producer: Lana542001
Essaouira is a precious city, located on the Atlantic coast of the African continent. It has almost a thousand nicknames: "the Pearl of the Atlantic", "the sleeping beauty” etc...they can all be traced back to the beautiful Arab word “Souirah”. The city maintains an enchantment and authenticity; it's like a land untouched by time. The Medina of Essaouira (formerly "Mogador") is a UNESCO World Heritage Listed city.

Amboseli Porini Camp, Kenya
Watch
Producer: tomtravelman
Amboseli Porini Camp lies in the heart of Masailand in the exclusive 15,000 acre community-owned Selenkay Conservancy, well away from the crowds, so that you can experience a classic East African Safari, similar to the bygone days of Ernest Hemingway & Teddy Roosevelt. Nine spacious tents have been sited among shady Acacia Tortilis trees, in a spot once favored by big game hunters. The tents are large and comfortably furnished, with solar-powered electric lights, and en suite bathrooms with safari shower, washbasin and flush toilet.
