Ol Jogi: One of the most exclusive places in Africa
New Project Offering peak exclusivity and personalised hospitality in equal measure, Ol Jogi is a private estate located on its own conservancy. If you want Laikipia, arguably Kenya’s most scenic region, all to yourselves, this is the way to do it. One of the ways to be sure you won’t cross other guests or vehicles while […]
Destination Focus: The Makgadikgadi
New Project The biggest salt pans in the world – covering an area of over 15,000 km2 – Botswana’s Makgadikgadi region is, quite simply, unlike anywhere else on earth. Less than an hour’s flight from Maun, this landscape was once a lake larger than Switzerland and as lush as the Okavango Delta. Tens of thousands […]
Destination Focus: The Lower Zambezi
New Project Considered the most magical river in Africa, the Zambezi River flows through six different countries before it reaches the sea. Two of these, Zambia and Zimbabwe, are home to an enigmatic region known as the Lower Zambezi. For some, this landscape may be familiar; on the Zambian side lies the Lower Zambezi National […]
Destination Focus: Namibia

Unlocking Inaccessible Frontiers Helis open-up geographies that are either inaccessible or […]
Raphael’s Recent Adventures
New Project As someone working in travel, it’s imperative that I spend a lot of time on the ground. Doing so ensures that I’m able to thoroughly discover, uncover and, in turn, share my findings with our clients. Today I wanted to share my thoughts on the travel I’ve done this year: places I’ve visited, […]
What Luxury Means to Us
New Project Luxury is a word that, despite being overused, still carries a lot of meaning in the travel world. As overused words can lose their meaning and potency, and because we feel we are now in an era of ‘new luxury’, we wanted to share what luxury means to us, and to me. Silence […]
Destination Focus: Chad
New Project At AMADI we are continually inspired by, and interested in, new frontiers. By this, we mean locations that are becoming more amenable to foreign travel, but which maintain strong elements of adventure, discovery and excitement – as well as small tourist numbers. In line with our clients, we love destinations that push us […]
