Travel Africa 80
October-December 2017
Working on this 20th anniversary issue got us thinking about what travel was like when we launched the magazine in 1997, and how it had changed over those two decades. Then we wondered what travel might be like in another 20 years. Our exploration visits all corners of the continent and reflects on the evolution of the safari experience.

Power to the people

Footprints in the sand
The past two decades have seen a steep rise in experiential travel. Fiona McIntosh sets off on an awe-inspiring trek in the NamibRand Nature Reserve
Senses and sensibility
The new Super Sensory Safari in Mana Pools demonstrates how innovative ideas and specialist guiding can enrich the modern-day safari, reveals Mike Unwin
