National Geographic has an awe-inspiring range of travel trips that depart from Australia and venture to some of the most coveted destinations across the world.
Melbourne-based National Geographic photographer, Jason Edwards, has shared two of his top bucket list destinations for all Australians – from the first-timer traveller to the seasoned explorer.
Jason has clocked a serious amount of frequent flyer points over his three-decade career, capturing the world’s natural wonders across all seven continents, and has experienced just about everything in travel – including some of the world’s most hidden gems and spectacular views.
He’s accumulated insider knowledge that the everyday traveller yearns for and has offered up his must-see destinations to take the guesswork out of explorative travel for adventure-seekers. On the must-do list is the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, Peru and a wildlife safari in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, Africa.
Jason describes ancient Machu Picchu as “a Bucket List destination for many people, and for a very good reason. The ancient ruins rise from a sheer-sided saddle surrounded by rugged spires of rock shrouded in forest and mist. It is quite literally a scene reminiscent of an Indiana Jones Adventure.
On National Geographic’s Peru: Land of the Inca expedition, travellers can take in incredible views of the Andes alongside knowledgeable guides who know the Peruvian region and culture best. Each allimmersive National Geographic expedition is joined by world-renowned National Geographic experts and photographers to add their unique insight for a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.
For those looking to explore wildlife en masse, Jason lists the Tanzanian Safari in Africa as a must-do Bucket List adventure. He says: “the Great Migration – the movement of millions of mammals across the vast savannah – is one of the Earth’s greatest natural wonders” and a thrilling spectacle for budding explorers and photographers.
A wildlife safari is a must-do experience and experts leading National Geographic’s On Safari: Tanzania’s Great Migration expedition map out the best routes, translate languages from local cultures and provide exclusive access to UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The secret? “Wake-up very early because animals are most active then, but don’t forget to stop photographing and enjoy the scene, it’s crucial to make memories as well as photos,” explains Jason.
Bookings are now open for 2019/2020 National Geographic expeditions departing from Australia to Machu Picchu and Tanzania — in addition to plenty more incredible Bucket List destinations. National Geographic offers land, river, oceanic and private jet expeditions to guide the everyday traveler across all seven continents of the globe.
