Laikipia Plateau is a highland region in central Kenya, lying between Mount Kenya and the northern Kenyan lowlands. Its broad grasslands, acacia woodland, rocky valleys, and volcanic soils create a varied landscape shaped by seasonal rainfall and altitude. Rather than being a single protected park, Laikipia is a mosaic of private conservancies, community lands, ranches, and farms.

High on a hill, dominating the sea, Loreto is a small city that lives solely for the "Santa Casa", one of the most famous and revered monuments of Christianity. According to tradition, it was the Virgin Mary's birth house, which up until that time was kept intact and venerated in Palestine, then flown by angels from Nazareth to the Adriatic Coast and set on a green hill of laurels on the night of December 10, 1294; hence the name Loreto.

At the edge of the High Atlas Mountains, Boumalne Dades stands as a gateway to one of Morocco’s most striking landscapes. The town stretches along a broad valley where the Dades River cuts through layers of red and ochre rock. This setting creates a dramatic backdrop that shifts in color throughout the day. Travelers often arrive here as a stopping point, but many stay longer after discovering the slower rhythm of village life and the easy access to nearby valleys and gorges.
