Khartoum, Sudan
Khartoum is the third-largest city in the Republic of Sudan. Fun fact: The original settlement at Khartoum was the largest settlement in the Nile confluence before the Egyptians.

Lima, Peru
Home of the Amazon rainforest and Machu Picchu, Peru is one of South America’s most exotic locations. Peru’s landscape varies from deserts to snow-clad mountains to beaches to rainforests.

One day, I was feeling adventurous and drove to the river bank to catch a glimpse of the “big cat.” It was pitch dark, I was in an open gypsy, suddenly I saw two yellow sparkling eyes just few feet away. Lucky for me he wasn’t hungry! – Ritesh Bhargava, Senior Manager, Partner Experience
