Fynbos Focus: Flower Safaris in South Africa
Fynbos focus: flower safaris in south africa New Project South Africa’s Western Cape is one of the world’s richest regions for plant biodiversity, with the Cape Floral Kingdom home to more than a third of the country’s plant species.

The San People of Southern Africa
The San People of Southern Africa New Project At first glance, the dry plains of Southern Africa can seem almost empty: sand, scrub, heat, and a horizon that refuses to end. Spend time with a San guide, however, and that impression begins to fall away; tracks become stories, plants become food, medicine or water. This […]
South Africa Finding its Terrior
SOUTH AFRICA FINDING ITS TERRIOR New Project South Africa has long been associated with the bold reds of Stellenbosch, but the Cape’s wine story is far broader and more complex than that well-established narrative. Across the Western Cape, a new generation of winemakers is drawing greater attention to terroir-driven wines, working in small batches from […]
Namibia: Light and Landscape
NAMIBIA: LIGHT and LANDSCAPE New Project Chloe’s recent trip through Namibia took her from the dunes of Sossusvlei to the elephants of Damaraland. What follows is her account, in her own words.

As you move […]
Africa’s Art, In Motion
AFRICA’S ART,IN MOTION New Project There is still a tendency to treat African art as something recent, still emerging, still finding its place on the global art scene. However, across the continent artists, museums, and cultural spaces have been shaping a distinct and influential art scene for many decades. The work is rooted in place, […]
In the Footsteps of the Pharaohs
IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE PHARAOHS New Project There are few places on earth where civilization runs almost uninterrupted for more than five thousand years. Locations where history sits like a palimpsest; layers laid down, built over, repurposed, argued with, then carried forward. Egypt is one of them. The country’s dynastic history stretches back to […]
Chad: Taking the Road Less Travelled
CHAD: TAKING THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED New Project There are certain destinations that are not on many people’s travel wishlist. Not because they are inaccessible, but because they ask for time, patience and a willingness to step outside familiar frameworks. Chad – a country that receives only a few hundred travellers a year – […]
Private Guiding, the AMADI way
PRIVATE GUIDING,THE AMADI WAY New Project Private guiding can turn the very same itinerary into a different kind of journey. The locations don’t change, but the understanding does. What guests see becomes layered with context, timing and the kind of judgement that only deep experience brings. A skilled private guide reads the subtleties of the […]
