Where to Go in 2026: My Picks
My 2026 picks: Uganda, Kenya, Australia and Zambia, plus Guyana and Northern Albania. Places that cap visitor numbers and still feel wild if you plan them well.

Kangaroo Island gets called “Australia’s Galápagos,” and with good reason: rugged coastline, eucalyptus forest, odd rock formations and some of the best wildlife viewing in Australia. Here's what to know before adding it to an Australian itinerary.
The island is a protected refuge for wildlife, and the density here rivals some African safari parks.
The island has a growing number of eco-luxury lodges.
One of my favorite stays anywhere in the world.
I use properties with minimal environmental impact.
In practice it feels like a safari, with Australian animals.
Kangaroo Island works as a standalone stay or as part of a Great Ocean Road, Barossa and KI itinerary. If your dates are flexible, aim for autumn.
Every itinerary begins with a 20-minute planning call. From there, a $250 planning fee, credited in full toward your booked trip and non-refundable if you don’t book. I brief the property before you arrive — that's what the fee funds.
