MacDonnell National Park

By @souls2travel_

We spent a few days exploring the MacDonnell Ranges and discovered a hidden gem. The region is packed with stunning gorges such as Simpson's Gap, Standley Chasm, and Ormiston Gorge. We even took a dip in Ellery Creek Big Hole, refreshingly cool and exactly what you need on a hot day. I recommend arriving early to beat the heat and make the most of your visit. If you are up for a hike, the views from Mt. Sonder are absolutely worth the effort. Whether you come for a day trip or stay longer, there are plenty of trails, wildlife, and beautiful scenery to keep you busy. Bring plenty of water and do not forget your camera because this is a place you will want to remember.

Breathtaking views, amazing cliffs and beautiful blue water. Perfect place to see puffins, very easy walk, great views from different viewpoints. Wind and sea, arches and black sand in one frame, raw and incredible. One of the most beautiful places Iâ€™ve ever seen. ðŸ§

DyrhÃ³laey is a 120-meter high peninsula with steep cliffs, a huge natural arch, and a lighthouse that sits at the top. From there you can see black sand beaches, Reynisdrangar sea stacks, and sometimes puffins nesting in summer. Itâ€™s volcanic, raw and beautiful.

Small peninsula with a lighthouse and a massive volcanic rock in the sea. Parking is easy. The perfect spot to watch Puffins.

Morne Trois Pitons National Park

A paradise for nature lovers. Every turn leads to something newâ€”hidden pools, giant ferns, and breathtaking views. The Emerald Pool is perfect for a swim, and the Trafalgar Falls are incredible.

ChaudiÃ¨re Pool

A hidden paradise in the jungle. his is the kind of place that makes you feel like youâ€™ve found a secret only locals know about. The hike isnâ€™t too long, but it can be slippery after rain, so take your time. Once you get there, itâ€™s absolutely worth it.

Maasai Mara National Reserve is a preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, along the Tanzanian border. It is home to a wide range of wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and hippos. Each year, wildebeest cross its plains during the famous Great Migration.
