Revive 1: Get Up with The Dawn Chorus

Even if you’re not an early bird, it’s seriously exciting to get up before day breaks on safari! Watch and hear life revive as exotic birds sing the start of a new day and nature comes to life, as you pause for morning local coffee overlooking Kilimanjaro at this Kenyan ecolodge >

Revive 2: Sunrise and Shine

There can be few better places to salute the rising sun than surrounded by spectacular summits. If yoga’s not your thing, meditate or a massage at this heavenly haven in view of majestic mountains like Machhapuchhare is an amazing experience at this lodge in Nepal >

Revive 3: Break the Fast

There are few more memorable meals than dining on the balcony terrace of this lodge surrounded by nature overlooking the primary rainforest and bay of the Osa Peninsula. Listen to Howler monkeys and watch Red macaws streak across the canopy or toucans in the trees.

Great food is an essential part of an enjoyable, extraordinary experience, and sustainable means local, traditional and often indigenous. Savour fresh fruit juice and plates, or traditional Gallo Pinto (rice and beans with Tico flavorings) or Pupusa (corn tortillas with beans, cheese and chicharrones -fried pork rinds).
