The seclusion of Patagonia has grandeur. The amazement of abundant lakes and panoramic mountains are dramatic images that people repeatedly desire. The cowboy lifestyle of the ranchers resumes living outside the big cities, where the horses can walk on the estates, and you can chill at an outdoor table consuming wine made in the vineyard where you stay.

Bellavista Street runs through the heart of the Bohemian neighborhood of the same name.
Colorfully painted facades create a vibrant ambiance in the district. Charming cafes set out tables and umbrellas for a quaint atmosphere emanating from the city. The city’s historic charms emanate from the architecture in neighborhoods of Bellas Artes and Barrio Brasil.
Mercado Central and La Vega Food Market erupt with life throughout the day. The iron ceiling is reminiscent of British design, but the fresh, exotic produce of the market stalls and luxurious collection of fresh seafood are uniquely Chilean. The central market is the city’s celebrated fish market, with an arrangement of vendors providing a variety for the day, caught that morning and cooked fresh inside the central dining area.

Embodying all that is great in East Africa bush camping, Serengeti Safari Camp is a gem of a lodge. Six beautifully equipped safari tents provide accommodation for just 12 guests creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Candlelit bush dinners, good standards of service and some of the best guides in Africa all go to complete the safari experience. The lodge switches its location throughout the year putting it in the very best position for the migration. For this reason the camp is one of the best options for those hoping to view some of the most spectacular events of the migration such as river crossings.
The camp itself is actually quite simple but the quality of food and service is first class. There are two communal tents, one is a comfortable lounge and the second is the dining tent where delicious and well-presented dinners are taken. Breakfast and lunch are usually taken out in the field. There are six private and spacious guest tents, each with a table and chairs and large double bed. Behind the beds is a changing area, sink, towel rack and bucket shower with hot water available on request. Storm lanterns powered by solar power provide lighting and there is a torch and alarm for emergency attention.
The locations of the camp around the park have to be agreed well in advance with the park authorities – thus the unpredictable route of the migration means that sometimes a drive is necessary to reach the best spots for wildlife observation.
