We don’t know about you, but 2025 turned us every which way but loose, so we’re looking forward to a new year >more escapes. The year 2026 brings the opportunity for new must-sees and Loango Savannah Camp and Sette Cama Eco Camp. Both are located within Loango National Park, known as “Africa’s Last Eden,” which is brimming with pristine forests, lagoons, gorilla trekking and coastal trails perfect for spotting the country’s surfing hippos. Not the safari type? No worries, insiders like Karma Bridges, daughter of rap star Ludacris, have shared Threatt Filling Station (a vital sanctuary during Jim Crow and a shelter during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre) before grabbing a soulful bite at Wanda J’s, a staple in Tulsa, Oklahoma since 1974. You can also grab pictures for the ‘gram at the Cadillac Ranch art installation in Amarillo, Texas. 

Boston

The New England city doesn’t usually end up on many travel wishlists, but as one of the host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, that’s about to change. Check into the Four Seasons Hotel, One Dalton Street, located within walking distance of must-see tourist spots like Fenway Park and cultural institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts. Surround yourself with community and enjoy comfort food inspired by the African diaspora at Comfort Kitchen or indulge in the city’s best seafood at Row 34. Need to escape the city for a bit? You can always catch the ferry and Traynor, Closson Chase and Hinterland Wine Company that accommodate groups, children, and even dogs. Grab a delicious locally sourced meal at Stella’s Eatery or a tinga tostada and zero-proof maple pecan daiquiri at La Condesa. Looking to relax in laidback luxury surrounded by serene views? Be sure to book a cabin at Wander Resort and disconnect from it all.
