Africa's Best Kept Secret: An Ultra-Luxury, Ultra-Eco Safari Lodge
>>
>>
Find out what a $3,500 whisky tastes like
It’s National Geographic’s Big Cat Week, time to turn our aention to the plight of the beleaguered felines of the world, the lions, leopards, cheetahs and tigers facing pressure from poachers, environmental destruction, crazed Chinese medicine practitioners and Minnesota dentists. If you want to see many of these majestic animals at their best, in high style, while doing good, there are few beer places to consider than Zarafa. This ultra-luxury, ultra eco conscious lodge may be Africa’s best kept travel secret. Interest in wildlife safaris has boomed in recent years, and with it there has been an expansion of high-end options, with more and beer luxury safari lodges. At the same time, the geography of safaris has grown, and while South Africa has long dominated the luxury segment of the market, Botswana has quietly been nipping at its heels. On my most recent trip to Southern Africa, just two months ago, many in the industry conceded that Botswana has wrested top honors, not just for its swank lodges but also for its top down dedication to both excellence and environmental responsibility. Again and again, hoteliers told me that standards for everything from food safety to impact on the ecosystem were higher and more carefully monitored by Botswana’s government than any in Africa.

Although originally this charming place was a family home nestled on top of the cliffs in Santorini, the Vasilicos has been transformed a couple of years ago into an astounding all-suite hotel, with stunning views and luxurious amenities that will make any guest’s day a beer one.The proximity to a monastery is irrelevant as the Vasilicos treats everyone who passes through its doors as gods on Earth. Only eight lavish suites are on offer here, each of them benefiting from that lovely and much appreciated Santorini architecture.Decorated in a minimalist manner, these suites are cool and airy during the day, and boast more levels of luxury than we could probably handle.

AUTOMATIC, CHRONOGRAPH & FLYBACK MOVEMENT It is not surprising that automakers and the designers of luxury timepieces like to collaborate with each other. Both professions deal with precision, high-performance machines, and both are constantly striving for new innovations in both technical achievement and style.
| 24 |
When automakers and watch designers work together, the results are usually spectacular and interesting. The watches produced by such collaborations are always masterful in their technical details and appealing in their appearance.
LUXURY WATCHES This Bugai line from Parmigiani Fleurier Watches has a striking look and a unique movement. These are the first watches in the world to have a transverse movement that works like the transmission of a car. Understandably proud of their creation, Bugai and Omega Watches have provided several see-through panels showing off every aspect of the movement.
These watches don't look like others. In the original Bugai design, shown in several of these selections, the body is an oval cylinder, most of which is filled by the see-through panels. The circular dial is at the side of the cylinder. Also shown are several of the Bugai Flyback Chronographs, the design for which is based on the Bugai Atalante 57S Sport from the 1930s. These have wide, porthole-style dials with see-through faces showing the handsome movement. Each of these luxury timepieces has a large chronograph dial in the space between the center and 3, while a small second hand appears beside 9. Notice that some of these Parmigiani Fleurier watches are set with white baguee diamonds. Here are watches that are perfect for the lovers of all kinds of high-performance machinery. This line from Bugai and Parmigiani Fleurier Watches is a technical and stylistic triumph. www.parmigiani.ch

Yet again, everything comes back into play. It’s about a new benchmark. A sports car that has only ever existed once in this form. That has been a source of fascination for generations. And is firmly anchored in our heart and soul. It’s about the future of the 911. We are always looking forward. Not sideways, never back. We don’t want to rest on the laurels of our past, no maer how illustrious it may be. All the racing victories. The dreams. Our fans. Thousands of ideas. We hold them in our hearts. But we start from scratch. And we will give everything we’ve got. We will go on the aack, to get even beer. And we will fight, to defend our

lead. With one single goal: to create the next 911, one that can do more, deliver more and consume less than ever before. A sports car as beautiful now as it was on day one. That is our tradition. And our future. We will give it our all. For the best 911 of all times: the new 911. At Porsche, there are no conventions. Forbidding free thought? That’s forbidden. The only thing that maers is this question: how can we become even beer? Let’s put it another way: can we redefine the limits of engineering? Can we reconcile apparent contradictions? Yes, we can. With Intelligent Performance.
EVER AHEAD The new 911 answers questions about the future of the sports car with a quantum leap in performance. By reducing fuel consumption, but not by suppressing emotions. By following a principle that has already changed everything once before: in 1974, with the ďŹ rst 911 Turbo. Developed completely from scratch, the sixcylinder twin-turbo engines of the 911 Carrera and Targa 4 models with a displacement of 3.0 litres embrace this principle and perfect it in a forwardlooking way.
The stand-out qualities of the new twinturbo engines are their extraordinarily direct responsiveness and wide torque plateau, reached early in the low end of the rpm band. Combined with the high rev limit – and the legendary sound of a 911 six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine. In short: excellent performance that feeds back to the driver in an instant. www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/911-targa4s/
