Which one will inspire your next trip? Kensington Destination Experts' private guided memories from their travels around the globe in 2009.
Attending a mass at St. Basil`s Cathedral in Moscow was an experience I’ll never forget. This 450 year old church looks like a fairy tale castle and is undeniably one of the most magnificent buildings in the world.

One morning our guide took us on a cruise down India's Alappuzha River. We were astounded to see small children paddling themselves to school in small boats!

Listening to a lion roaring contest during our evening dinner on the plains of the western Serengeti. Every time one of us would open our mouths to speak the roaring would start again!

Watching the sunset over Abu Simbel at the Temple of Ramses II.

I’ll never forget the deer park in Nara Japan. They are so friendly that they come right up, follow you around, sit down next to you and even fall asleep. I felt like snow white!

Listening to highlife music in Ghana - Then getting a chance to play with the band!

Waking up to church bells tolling in Florence, Italy. It was the most beautiful alarm clock I’ve ever heard.
