Discover remarkable journeys across Africa, South America, Japan and Antarctica with APT

APT’s journeys are an invitation to step beyond the ordinary — to travel in comfort while immersing yourself in the heart of each destination. From untamed wilderness to intricate traditions, vibrant cities and places where silence reigns, these are extraordinary escapes that linger long after the journey ends. 

Africa reveals itself in moments that feel almost dreamlike. Dawn spills gold across the savannah, the air cool and still before the first stirrings of wildlife. Luxury lodges offer a front row seat to this living theatre, their verandas opening to endless horizons. At dusk, game drives bring the quiet drama of the bush into focus — a lion’s slow prowl, the sudden lift of a giraffe’s head. The thunder of Victoria Falls rises like a heartbeat, mist curling into the sky. Above it all, a hot air balloon drifts silently, the plains stretching to infinity. Encounters with local communities bring warmth and perspective, their stories adding human depth to the grandeur of the landscape. 

In Japan, contrasts unfold at every turn. Ancient temples stand in the shadow of glass towers, the hush of a Zen Garden giving way to the neon pulse of the city. Travel is effortless, each journey between destinations a chance to watch the scenery shift from mountain to coast, from rice fields to skyscrapers. The art of tea, the precision of dining, the quiet rituals of tradition — each is an expression of a culture both refined and resilient. Guided experiences open doors to moments few travellers see: the delicate shaping of sushi under a master’s hand, the graceful brushstrokes of calligraphy in a tatamimatted room. Japan reveals itself in layers, each one more intricate and moving than the last. 

South America is a land of revelations. The heights of Machu Picchu seem to touch the clouds, its ancient stones alive with history. In the Amazon, jungle waterways wind through a world of green, alive with the calls of unseen creatures. Colonial cities tell stories in their cobblestones and plazas, while Iguazú Falls roars with elemental power. Southward, the journey continues to the ends of the earth — to Antarctica, where sculpted icebergs drift in a sea of impossible blues. 

Antarctica is a place beyond expectation. The air is pure, the silence profound, broken only by the crack of shifting ice or the distant call of a penguin colony. Sailing aboard a purpose built expedition vessel, each landing feels like a privilege — a step into a world untouched, where nature reigns in its most pristine form. 

Wherever the path leads, APT’s extraordinary escapes are defined by more than their destinations. They are shaped by the expertise of guides who unlock hidden doors, by the comfort that allows you to focus on the moment, and by the rare chance to experience the world not just as a visitor, but as a participant in its stories. These are journeys that are, in every sense, extraordinary.
