Al-Zawraa Park is one of Baghdad’s largest and most well-known green spaces. Originally an army camp, the area was converted into a family-friendly park in the 1970s. It features expansive green spaces, a roller coaster, shops, cafés, and even the Baghdad Zoo.

Situated in Vietnam's Red River Delta, Cuc Phuong National Park, the country's first national park, beckons travellers with its natural splendour and ecological significance. As the largest nature reserve in Vietnam, Cuc Phuong boasts unparalleled biodiversity, making it a vital sanctuary for a wide array of plant and animal species. Despite its nearly three-hour journey from Hanoi, this gem in Ninh Bình Province is well worth the effort.

Camogli is a stunning fishing village and tourist resort located on the west side of the peninsula of Portofino around 20 km east of Genoa. Visitors are drawn to its beautiful pastel-hued palaces and homes, relaxed atmosphere, breathtaking hiking paths, and, of course, its exceptional cuisine. The town is renowned for its delectable focaccia, which is a must-try. To reach Camogli, travellers can either take a boat from Genoa or catch a train from Stazione Principe.

For brave souls seeking the world’s most exhilarating swim, Devil’s Pool delivers an unforgettable adrenaline rush. This natural rock pool, sculpted by millennia of erosion, sits precisely on the precipice of Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi’s waters cascade 100 metres into the gorge below. Accessible only during the dry season (typically mid-August to mid-January), the experience begins with a boat ride to Livingstone Island — the very spot where explorer David Livingstone first laid eyes on the falls in 1855. The adventure continues as visitors wade and swim through gentle currents, guided by experts to the pool’s edge. Here, a submerged rock lip creates a natural barrier, allowing swimmers to peer safely over the thunderous drop while the river’s force swirls around them. In the driest months (October-November), some may walk across exposed rocks to reach the pool, though a guide remains mandatory. While the sight of bathers lounging at the waterfall’s brink makes for iconic photos, the reality is even more breathtaking. As over 500 million litres of water plunge past each minute, the pool’s deceptive calm contrasts with the roaring abyss just beyond your fingertips. Five daily tours depart for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, though nature dictates the schedule — high waters from March to May render the pool inaccessible. For those who dare, Devil’s Pool offers not just a swim, but a visceral connection to the raw power of Africa’s greatest waterfall.
