Travel Africa 99
February – April 2023
Putting together an African holiday is more complex than to most other destinations, and that’s the joy of it: Africa offers a deep connection to nature, an opportunity to explore untrammelled wilderness, fill our souls with fresh air and new experiences. In this issue, we look at the companies and people who bring our safari dreams to life — from tour operators, to lodge and camp owners, guides and even those who get us from A to B. Over 25 years of publishing Travel Africa, we have worked with hundreds of African travel specialists, and we have tapped into this deep well of experience to bring you a collection of articles and insight to help you plan your future travels.
