Trips of a Lifetime

We all have our lists. What’s on yours?

Updated on October 21, 2026

Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. Spotting spectacular wildlife on an African safari. Boarding one of the world’s most luxurious trains. We all have our definition of a “trip of a lifetime,” but some experiences are so extraordinary, they change how we see the world. And while they’re not always easy to reach, often requiring multiple modes of transportation (and an adventurous spirit), the effort is always worth the reward.

At Travel + Leisure, we’re devoted to turning our (and your) travel wishes into memories, so let this be the year you stop fantasizing about that once-in-a-lifetime trip and finally book it. Ready, set, get inspired.
