It might have started with a story or two, but Travel Africa has always been about exploring the world’s most exciting continent, going to places that are more than just ‘vacation locations’.
We aim to give you the best stories, ones that you can’t find anywhere else.
That’s why we commission unique stories from the best journalists and photographers, and seek advice from the best experts.
We spend a lot of time choosing the main features; the countries and the subjects, but also the small (but no less important) stories; the successes of guides and conservation, the titbits on the bush telegraph, interviews and reader experiences.
We want the magazine to be extraordinary – like the continent!
So, why not treat yourself, your partner or your best friend to a Gift Pack of magazines, and let the stories carry you away to new places, wild animals and the world’s friendliest people? |

An army of hundreds march through the mud in a solid black line, dutifully following their leader. We follow too, mesmerised from the moment they leave their home territory until the massacre comes to its gruesome conclusion. Their attack is swift, a sting operation designed to cause maximum chaos. It ends in carnage, with each assailant carrying at least one soon-to-be-eaten corpse back to base…

"I want my holiday spend to matter,” stated Celsea Jenkins from California on safari at Great Plains Conservation’s Selinda Camp in the Okavango Delta. Her resolve was fuelled by unethical wildlife encounters she and husband Wyatt had experienced in Asia. From then on, they decided their annual adventure would be selected more consciously. Fulfilling their objectives is surprisingly easy in Botswana, a country that has cultivated relationships with safari operators that use tourism as a means for greater good, such as conservation, local employment and social upliftment.
In the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, Carrie Hampton has a look at how to give back when you travel to Botswana, and how to ensure that your funds are going into the right hands |

It’s just after 6am. The air is still and cool. In the lingering morning mist, I follow a hard-trodden earth path through apparently impenetrable vegetation, almost 2m high. Soon an insistent munching sound suggests the presence of large and voracious herbivores. The path rises and the beasts are at last revealed. A team of pickers, their shears hungrily devouring fresh growth, wades through a sea of brilliant green tea plantation.
