Best African Beach Breaks
New Project When you think about a holiday to the African continent, inevitably the first images that come to mind are romantic safari lodges, early-morning game drives and sightings of giraffes, zebras and lions. Some might imagine vast plains, empty deserts, gushing waterfalls and tropical rainforests but, for some reason, rarely beaches. This is despite […]

Raphael’s Favourite African Experiences – Part 1
New Project Having travelled extensively and intrepidly across Africa for over two decades, a question I often get asked is what I consider to be the continent’s best experiences. I’ve put a lot of thought into this, because, due to the vastness and variety that Africa offers, there is simply so much to choose from. […]
Family-Friendly Safari Lodges
New Project There is probably no more exciting place to travel as a family than on safari in Africa.

Therefore, building on years of experience and […]
