🌍✨ Every journey tells a story, and some stories bring unexpected surprises!

Today, we share a heartwarming experience from one of our buyers, Simona Gallo, from our Signature AE Global Travel Show. While navigating Namibia’s vast desert, she embarked on a unique rescue mission! 🚗💨

Simona came across a tiny, lonely puppy with an undeniable charm – one that stole her heart instantly! 🐾💛 Without a second thought, she scooped him up and drove nearly 400 km, hoping to find him a loving home.

And she found more than just a home – she found him a family! Now, “Sense” is the proud new mascot of Sense of Africa Namibia, ready to greet everyone with his boundless spirit and bring smiles to those he meets. 🐶❤️

Harare Roadshow Success! ✔️

Our recent Harare Roadshow showcased the power of regional travel trade partnerships in driving tourism forward. Events like this are more than just meetings—they’re a chance to connect our incredible exhibitors with the local travel industry, foster essential relationships, and conduct destination training on a large scale.

Our regional roadshows are about equipping local travel partners with the knowledge and connections to inspire travellers. It’s a reminder that collaboration within our region is key to building a sustainable, thriving tourism sector.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Harare! Next stop - Swakopmund!

Boipuso Botswana! 🇧🇼

Today, we celebrate Botswana's history, culture, and phenomenal beauty as the nation marks its Independence Day. Since gaining independence in 1966, Botswana has blossomed into one of Africa’s most remarkable success stories, known for its peaceful democracy, thriving wildlife, and commitment to conservation. Today, we honour this exceptional nation and the spirit of its people.

P**a Botswana! 💙

Africa’s Eden and SATSA have announced a strategic partnership that will leverage the respective strengths of both associations for the benefit of their members across Southern Africa.

The partnership combines SATSA’s formidable lobbying power and industry issue
management in South Africa with Africa’s Eden’s marketing strengths and extensive
network across Southern Africa.

Says David Frost, CEO SATSA: "By combining SATSA’s lobbying muscle with Africa’s Eden's marketing finesse, the members of both associations now have access to expanded benefits that will directly help their businesses grow. Our partnership
makes sense because of our complementary strengths and areas of focus."

The alliance is about maximising potential, says Jillian Blackbeard, Africa's Eden CEO. “Members across the Southern African region now have the full force of
regional marketing and advocacy best practice behind them. We’re establishing a tourism ecosystem where every member thrives and the collective regional tourism sector grows.”

What an incredible B4T (Business for Tourism) event we just had in Maun! We got to meet with so many suppliers who make tourism in Africa’s Eden possible, supporting our member properties and mobile safaris in delivering luxury services, even in the most remote locations.

From beds and linen, canvas tenting, cleaning supplies, and tech solutions to morning coffee suppliers, luxury wine, and gin distributors—we saw it all and tasted the best! 🍷☕ It’s these key players who help keep our industry moving and ensure every guest has an unforgettable experience.

A huge thank you to all attendees - you've all helped to make the event a true success!

Travelling with minors in Southern Africa offers an unforgettable experience for families. Whether exploring Botswana’s wildlife-rich landscapes or Zambia’s majestic waterfalls, travelling with kids is both enriching and rewarding, with diverse activities catering to all ages, from toddlers to teens.

However, travelling with kids does require some additional logistics. Ensure you have the correct documentation, and you’re set for a seamless, adventure-filled journey. Check out our page for the latest travel advice, and feel free to link it to your guest information.

How do you describe the colour of a Zambezi sunset? Or the feeling of riding up to a herd of elephant while on horseback? At Africa's Eden, we believe nothing compares to experiencing a destination, activity, or safari lodge first-hand.

That's why Africa's Eden travel shows are so popular! We have a few last-minute spots available for globally-based travel agents at the Swakopmund show this November. Visit the event website and register as a buyer.

Please not only buyers domiciled outside of Africa are eligible for this event. There is a dedicated travel show for African trade in April 2025.
