| It feels like every day at Explore HQ our incredible, hardworking Product team is launching new adventures – and today is no exception, with three new additions to our ever-expanding Upgraded collection!
Upgraded is everything you love about Explore trips, but with a little more comfort at the end of the day and a few more extra-special inclusions too. These are not faceless high-end chain hotels lacking in personality, but hand-picked accommodation designed to further immerse you into the culture of your destination.
Whether that’s a luxury air-conditioned safari tent that opens up directly over the savannah, a chic high rise with unforgettable views over the neon lights of Tokyo, or a serene Thai spa hotel with a range of indulgent and traditional treatments on offer, it’s unique to the destination.
Here are the latest additions, spanning two continents and three very different destinations. |

| Upgraded – Highlights of Kenya |
|
| A classic Kenyan trio: the vast plains of the Maasai Mara, the chance to spot black rhino at Lake Nakuru, and the Aberdare mountains combine to make this tried and tested itinerary. We swap ungainly overground trucks for nimble, purpose-built, 6-person safari vehicles to maximise your comfort and wildlife viewing opportunities.
Upgraded highlight: Sundowners and Boma dinner. Experience a traditional Maasai boma dinner on the plains of the Mara, the perfect way to sit back and take in the spectacular Kenyan wilderness – perhaps with a sundowner (or three)!

| Upgraded – Discover Japan |
|
| Explore’s best selling destination gets the Upgraded treatment. A traveller favourite, now with 4-star hotels and 5-star experiences, including Buddhist temples, included Sushi lunch, a calligraphy class, and a traditional Geisha performance.
Upgraded highlight: Spend the day with Buddhist monks. An opportunity few Westerners will ever have to experience life in a Buddhist temple. You’ll participate in a private Zen meditation session held just for your group, led by a Buddhist monk, before an exquisitely presented and delicious Bento box lunch.
