Family wildlife trips

From Athens to the islands, a journey in four stops

Gorée Island, a living memory of history, then the pink waters of Lake Retba

Pastel colonial façades and a cactus desert away from the white sand

Sand dunes rising from a turquoise lagoon, off one of the least crowded coastlines of the Indian Ocean

Clouds of scarlet ibis at Caroni and Tobago's untouched reefs

A capital with preserved white architecture, then a night under canvas in the Wahiba dunes

Dubai's vertigo, the desert's silence just behind it

The 'smoke that thunders' and one of Africa's densest elephant populations
