The prestigious CNN Traveller Online Magazine has just released its results about the best holiday destinations for 2020 and beyond.
These are according to their band of well-travelled editors, who scour the planet in search of unique destinations to introduce to readers, and we have to agree with their choices.
If these results are anything to go by, it seems off-the beaten destinations are all the rage at the moment. Places like Patagonia, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Lebanon, and Senegal have all made the list, along with these two African gems that we’ve known about all along:
Namibia – 10th Best Destination for 2020
Namibia’s open spaces and luxurious out of the way lodges like, Hoanib Valley Camp and Shipwreck Lodge are what’s attracting travelers to the Land of Sand.
Apart from their sought-after locations, these lodges have the added benefit of being supremely eco-friendly despite offering consummate luxury. They merge seamlessly with their environment, are actively involved in nearby conservation projects, and boast innovative design that reflects their surroundings.
Namibia is a vast and sparsely populated country that offers an ethereal beauty and sense of tranquility that’s unmatched in the world. The desert, the dunes, fascinating wildlife, and clear skies combine to provide travelers with unmatched wilderness experiences and once-in-a-lifetime activities that you simply can’t enjoy anywhere else.
Mozambique – 14th Most Desirable Destination for 2020
Once the darling of the well-healed, Mozambique’s star is once again on the rise, with supremely luxurious resorts opening on the islands just off its coast.
These plush establishments offer unlimited access to the pristine scuba-diving terrain of the Indian Ocean, with its glorious coral reefs, colorful fish, whales and dolphins.
Bazaruto is back with a bang as high-end hotels rise from the ruins of civil war with promises of hedonistic pleasures to come. While the island may have toned down it’s bad-boy Havana-style past reputation, you can still look forward to plush indulgences and intimate privacy when you visit this up-and-coming island destination.
Benguerra Island and Vamizi Island both boast brand new big name resorts along their palm fringed beaches.
Mozambique has upped its conservation game on both land and sea and has resurrected both its marine parks and the once beleaguered Gorongoza National Park to their former glory. Now, guests can once again reap the rewards of exploring both the ocean and the forests to delight in unique creatures and gorgeous natural surroundings.
