Iceland’s Ring Road is one of the world’s most iconic drives. Tracing the contours of a remarkable landscape and taking you within reach of glaciers and volcanoes, the country’s Route 1 (1322km or 822 miles) is a two-lane road that unfurls like a magical Icelandic saga. Apart from the general wonder-at-large of the elemental terrain, you’ll have the chance to see canyons, waterfalls, hot-steam geysers and blue whales along the way.

Visto dall'alto, il Delta dell'Okavango, in Botswana, stringe come un artiglio la mappa dell'Africa.

By Anthony HamI was prepared to wait, to soak up the magical morning light as our small motorboat traveled up the Rio São Lourenço in the Pantanal, Brazil’s vast wetlands. A tangle of lianas, acuri palms and strangler figs pressed close along the riverbank. I stared into the forest, scanning for movement, for shadows, for a jaguar. But it was too soon. Patience in the wild is a lesson I have learned over a lifetime of travel.

I was prepared to wait, to soak up the magical morning light as our small motorboat traveled up the Rio São Lourenço in the Pantanal, Brazil's vast wetlands.

Patience in the wild is a lesson I have learned over a lifetime of travel. On an African safari, for example, it can take days to spot a cheetah or a leopard.
