Kenya by Helicopter: A Journey through Time and Terrain
KENYA BY HELICOPTER:A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AND TERRAIN New Project Some landscapes take time to explore. Others reveal their scale and complexity only when experienced from above. Kenya’s ‘Big North’ is one of those places. On a trip to Kenya last November, I set off on a full-day helicopter expedition with the AMADI team to explore […]
In Celebration of the Zebra
New Project One of the prettiest animals on the continent, Zebras are always a delight to spot when on safari. Today, on International Zebra Day, we wanted to celebrate this special species. Every zebra has its own unique pattern; more than just striking, their black and white stripes serve practical purposes from regulating body […]
Our Favourite Photos of 2024
New Project Travel and imagery share an intrinsic connection. A single photograph can ignite the spark of adventure, building the momentum for a journey before you’ve even set eyes on a place. Images create desires, begin fantasies and populate travel wish lists with destinations we never before dreamed of experiencing. The power of a great […]
Advantages of Shoulder Season Travel
New Project Travel to Africa is often associated with peak seasons and iconic migrations, periods when you ‘must’ travel. However, the continent has always been, and remains, a place to visit year-round, offering incredible experiences whatever month you choose to travel. More than this, at AMADI we really believe that there is a lot to […]
Daunara Accommodation Spotlight
New Project We love shining a spotlight on accommodation across Africa that we think are out of the ordinary. Properties that offer something unlike anywhere else; properties with a sense of place, belonging and that ‘special something’ which stays with you long after your return home. Located in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Daunara Safari Camp is such […]
Laikipia: A great place for multi-generational travel
New Project At AMADI we like to do family holidays and multi-generational trips a little differently. I know that, at times, it can be challenging to meet the contrasting needs of different age groups, activity levels and accommodation preferences. Today, I’d like to put the spotlight on one particular region that solves these problems and which, in […]
The Textures of Africa
New Project Africa is often visually represented through a wide lens – expansive plains, seemingly endless bodies of water, vast deserts, deep gullies and dense jungles. The continent’s grandeur is undeniable. However, an element often missed in this representation is the rich and omnipresent tapestry of textures; all of which offer a new and unexpected […]
A Journey into the Heart of the Kalahari
New Project Having just returned from a long-awaited visit to Twsalu in South Africa, I wanted to share my observations with you. Tswalu is a brand that goes hand in hand with commitment to conservation. Their efforts and initiatives are industry-leading. When a property combines this admirable ethos with first-class accommodation, activities and dining, this […]
The Great Migration
New Project The Great Migration is known – for good reason – as one of Africa’s most awe-inspiring natural phenomena. Even for those unacquainted with wildlife and the world of safari, will, on hearing the phrase, conjure up images of dense herds of wildebeest en masse crossing river beds and vast plains, all done so […]
In Celebration of the African Leopard
New Project One of the biggest draws of any trip to Africa is almost always the wildlife. The vast and wonderful species that call this continent home are some of the most iconic in the world. The African leopard is a predator as powerful as it is elegant. Considered the most majestic cat in the […]
