Travel Africa 106
Soul food
For so many people, the addictive draw of African travel is the opportunity to lose yourself in nature, and in this issue we’ve gone all-in on ways you can clear your head and immerse yourself in the bush. Perhaps the most rewarding way of doing this is to get on your feet, so we’ve allocated 28 pages to celebrating why and where you can walk with wildlife, explore trails in scenic South Africa and wander the Atlas Mountains. We reveal a creative way to transform the way you view your surroundings, and we take you to places you may not have heard of that offer the opportunity to fuel your soul.

Stepping out
A 28-page celebration of the myriad opportunities to explore Africa on foot, getting to appreciate the continent from a different perspective while stretching the legs and staying active on holiday. The feature is centred around three distinct experiences:
- Denis Costello describes the joy and benefit of walking with wildlife, highlighting some of the best, and his favourite, guided safaris across East and southern Africa
- Fiona McIntosh enthusiases about the multitude of slackpacking trails in South Africa’s most dramatic scenic areas
- In the far north, Sarah Kingdom treks in the Atlas Mountains for cultural insights to rural Moroccan life.
Kenya: Be bold and venture forth!
Philip Briggs urges you to include at least one of these 12 little-visited, but wonderful, destinations in their next Kenyan itinerary — favourites from his recent road trip around the country.
Tanzania: Chris Schmid’s parks portfolio
We asked wildlife photographer Chris Schmid to share his favourite images from his top Tanzanian parks — and tell us how they were achieved. It’s a beautiful portfolio that demonstrates the country’s considerable appeal as a safari destination for wildlife lovers (while offering insight from a world-leading cameraman).
Seychelles: Beyond the beaches
While the archipelago offers an idyllic beach add-on option for safari-goers, Sarah Kingdom gets out and about to discover there’s a whole lot more to island life to be enjoyed here.
Namibia: Sliver of hope
While he may have headed to Zambezi Province’s little-known parks with few expectations, Mike Unwin returns with high hopes as he discovers them playing a key role in KAZA’s wider conservation mission.
Zimbabwe: A grand tour east
As viewers of The Grand Tour will have seen, the Eastern Highlands may be the least visited part of Zim, but they offer a rewarding, contrastingly dramatic, adventurous alternative to the big hitters to the country’s western parks, says Chris Leggatt.
Zambia: Drawn to the bush
Joining an Art Safari in South Luangwa National Park, Craig Rix is curious to find out how putting yourself in the shoes of an artist can impact your safari experience.
Botswana: Why visit?
What makes Botswana special? In this personal essay, lifelong visitor Melanie van Zyl explains what the country means to her and why you absolutely should go.
Wildlife: Fitting the bill
Why do birds have beaks? A obvious question, perhaps, but maybe the answer is more intriguing than you might imagine. Enthusiast Mike Unwin ponders the point.
Sierra Leone: Fresh perspective
With the country in the early days of building its tourism offering, Ian Packham has a good look around to suss out what international travellers will find so appealing.
