Grootbos is a private nature reserve we send people to near Hermanus. It’s an area better known for whales but the flora is just as interesting - Grootbos actually supply the Eden Dome with a number of their exhibits. They’re involved in a wide range of responsible travel initiatives, both environmental and social, including planting trees. More »

Last week I was in Windhoek for four days of meetings. After dark, cold, rainy Oxfordshire it was brilliant to spend 4 days under blue skies with temperatures of 30°C and cooling down perfectly in the evening. I stayed in a small guesthouse I hadn’t stayed in before, the Olive Grove, which is in my opinion is currently the best place to stay in Windhoek. More »

Last week Ruth, one of our Africa Regional Managers, & I flew to Windhoek for meetings with our ground agents. We flew down overnight on a Sunday night and back overnight on the Thursday night. The time in Windhoek was great, but pretty tiring with back to back meetings for four days. Ruth somehow managed to get food poisoning on the Wednesday. So by the time we reached Windhoek airport on the Thursday night for our flight home we were both pretty strung out and tired. We looked forward to a quiet 10 hours flying gently back above Africa to the UK.Imagine our delight on getting to the check-in desk to find the plane was taken a diversion - via Accra in Ghana.

Travel writer John Gimlette travelled with us to Libya over the Xmas and New Year. Just emailed to say he’d had a fantastic trip and how the much the Libyan people loved children - he took along his 3 year old daughter. Looking forward to seeing the article.
UPDATE: John Gimlette’s article is now published here.

The tracks were unmistakeable, tiny footprints that scuttled across the sand. Close by was at least one Dancing White Lady, an evocatively named spider that rests during the heat of the day beneath the sands of the Namib Desert before venturing out at night. More »

Having being born and bred in South Africa, I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit the bush on many occasions. I have a real love and deep interest in African wildlife. In July 2003 I moved to the UK and instantly missed the continent I call home. Thankfully I joined the Africa team at Audley which provides me with a valid reason to regularly venture back home to South Africa and also explore other parts. More »
