The usual suspects – Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, São Paulo and Santiago – should beware: when Centurions were asked to sound off on which South American city tops their must-visit bucket list, these key players lagged far behind Cartagena, the charming Colombian town with copious UNESCO landmarks who won with 23% of the vote. The historic Peruvian city of Cuzco comes in second at 19%, a not-too-shabby finish for the gateway to Machu Picchu and the former capital of the Incan Empire.

Istanbul made a showing, too – but whether Turkey's up-and-coming capital is in Europe or the Middle East is a question for another time.

Now, take a moment to sound off on the newest survey: which sizzling South American city is calling your name?

It's the ultimate travel fantasy: just you, a small group of elite travellers, and travel pundit Geoffrey Kent sharing a private plane and jetting from one exotic location to another. It's about time that travel fantasy came true.

A cheetah rolls around on his back just after sunrise. A group of oryx antelopes quietly feed on dried grass. Giraffes stride through a grove. Sir Bani Yas Island, over half of which is occupied by the Arabian Wildlife Park, is an oasis off the coast of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. With new hospitality options and flight connections, this leisure destination is now becoming even more attractive.

If you prefer walking a little on the wild side during holiday, then a newly opened retreat in the 50,000-acre Segera wildlife sanctuary in Kenya may be a more-than-tempting choice. A luxurious wilderness experience that remains in harmony with nature, Segera Retreat, located on the Laikipia Plateau, is a unique oasis for a tailor-made safari.
