DjiboutiWith its smoking volcanic landscapes, primeval forests, limestone chimneys beside shimmering salt lakes and deserts and one of the finest stretches of the Indian Ocean. The food is some of the best in Africa – a mixture of French, fresh seafood and exotic fruits, dates and honey |

Arctic NorwayA great canvas for the shimmering aurora borealis (best viewed between September and April). Visit snug towns and fishing villages cling to dramatic coastline, take a husky safari or an ice fishing trip, trek on the pristine mountain scenery or cruise around some of the most northern Lofoten and Vesteralen Islands. |

LibyaThis country’s hitherto pariah status is slow in changing, and this makes it an ideal destination for travellers keen on experiencing some of the Mediterranean’s finest historic sites minus the crowds. Libya prospered as the centre of successive Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires such as the remains of Leptis Magna and Cyrene. Visit the incredible underground houses of the Berber people or the old medina of Tripoli, the ancient heart of Tripoli. Libya also boasts the world’s largest expanse of desert with rolling dunes and magical oases. |

ReunionLying north of Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean, this is one of the steepest islands in the world, making it a paradise for outdoor activities. A distant department of France, it remains pretty much undiscovered by UK visitors. It boasts impressive beaches, a verdant landscape, tumbling waterfalls and a fabulous fusion of food, melding the French style with the spicy and the exotic. |

The YukonTake to the placid waters of the Yukon in Canada far northwest and you will have the place to yourself! It offers vast swathes of wilderness ignored by the majority of tourists. You stay in remote lodges, fish, and canoe, follow the route of the early gold rush prospectors, watch grizzly bears or be dazzled by the northern lights.
