Traveling the world, as I’m sure you know, makes for some truly unforgettable experiences. From watching the sunrise over the pyramids of Giza to getting up close and personal with exotic wildlife, there’s a wealth of amazing memories to be had once you get out of your usual environment. Although you can throw a dart at the map of the world and be guaranteed to find something interesting where it lands, here are some truly amazing travel experiences you should try to have at least once.

Safari in Tanzania

Boasting one of the biggest national parks in the whole of Africa and 16 in total, Tanzania is the perfect place to witness the incredible wildlife you’ve only ever seen in nature documentaries. Make it in time for the annual wildebeest migration, and you’ll see one of the most awe-inspiring sights in the natural world. Still, no matter when you visit for a safari, you’ll have an unforgettable time. Seeing elephant calves playing with their parents in the Tarangire river will have you getting through your camera’s memory very quickly!

Heli-Skiing in Alaska

If you’ve been on a few skiing trips before, and feel like you’ve seen more or less all it has to offer, then taking a heli-skiing trip will change that forever! If you have the skills and the backbone, dropping from a helicopter onto massive off-piste runs is one adrenaline-filled experience you won’t easily forget! Alaska is bursting with great skiing spots, but if there’s one place that ranks above all others for heli-skiing, it’s Girdwood. Day trips with 16,000 to 18,000 vertical feet of slope are surprisingly affordable, and you’ll get a little kick to your pride by being the first person to kick up the powder!

Take a Private Jet Anywhere

If it’s in the budget, and you want to add a potent dose of luxury to your next big trip, flying in a private jet is certainly something to consider. You’ll be able to dodge a lot of the hassle that comes with flying commercial, have a crew that’s waiting on your every need, and for the first time ever, experience in-flight food that’s actually digestible! Yes, it’s much more expensive than commercial flight, but there are various apps such as Jettly which allow you to compare different deals and find the best one for you. You’d be extremely hard pressed to find anyone who’s flown private, and thinks it’s not worth the money!

Get Messy at La Tomatina in Spain

Spain is well-known for its unique festivals and holidays, and one of the most famous happens on the last Wednesday of August, when the whole town of Bunol, Valencia, gets extremely messy! Early in the morning, trucks carrying countless ripe tomatoes arrive in the center, one lucky person gets to throw the first one, and then the biggest food fight in the world begins! Following this quirky experience, you’ll have a week of festivities, featuring parades, live music, and lots and lots of fireworks. Believe me, the Spanish know how to party!
