"Explore Equestria" just means exploring the world, not necessarily new places in the world.

They have to use some of the same places for production reasons. It costs too much money to do a new place every episode. They have to repeat places, otherwise, they would run out of money.

Big Jim did confirm on his Twitter, though, if you scroll down far enough on the replies, says new locations are coming later in the season.
