There is something charmingly timeless about gliding down the Nile on a traditional dahabiya - a gentle flap of the sails, the golden light of dusk on ancient temples, the riverbank scenes unchanged for centuries.

Far from the crowds and chaos, this is Egypt at its most serene. A journey both luxurious and rooted in heritage – for those who seek beauty beyond the expected.

Across Africa, a growing number of social enterprises are creating beautiful, purpose-driven products that directly support local communities and conservation efforts. These initiatives often begin with a simple idea to address a pressing social or environmental challenge, and grow through their transparent, heartfelt commitment to making a positive impact.

By choosing to support these organisations, you’re not only acquiring a unique and authentic item filled with memories, but also helping to create sustainable livelihoods and long-term benefits that ripple throughout the community.

Our most recent blog highlights a collection of inspiring enterprises making waves in their local communities and that we love to visit and support.

From the high red dunes of Sossusvlei to the misty beaches of the Skeleton Coast and on to the vast salt pans and grasslands of Etosha; a Namibian flying safari is not only unique but iconic.

If we say “Safari” do you think “Africa”?

Think again! Whilst we have over 80 years combined experience curating safaris throughout Africa and continue to send many clients to Africa each year, the word safari has a wider meaning; a “journey” or “expedition” when in search of wildlife in their natural habitat. And, like the word safari, we too journey further afield, taking our clients to far flung parts of the world on safari…

From the peaks of the Himalayas to the glaciers of the Antarctic, safaris can be found everywhere – you just have to know where to look and who the best local guides are.

Take a look at link in our bio for a few of our favourite safari destinations outside of Africa.

As once remarked by Pablo Picasso, “Colours, like features, follow the changes of the emotions”. As you travel through Morocco’s changing vibrant landscapes, diverse communities and rich history, colours change with you.

Did you know that each city in Morocco has its own colour? Or, that colour plays a key part within religious symbolism and story telling as Islam does not use images of people or animals in its decoration?

From the fish markets in Tangier in the north to the arid Sahara Desert in the south, the bustling markets of Marrakech to the tranquil blue alleys of Chefchaouen, colours hold deep cultural significance within Moroccan culture.

The golden hour in Vietnam is arguably at first light.

Many people have already been busy for hours and it is always worth putting on an early alarm to join them.

“The desert is so huge, and the horizon so distant, that they make a person feel small, and as if he should remain silent.”

- Paulo Coelho

Spending time in the Moroccan Sahara desert is one of these places.

Where time can pass in simple silence, take you on a journey over crested dunes, allow you to feel the warmth leave the sand at sunset, only to be replaced by the magnificence of a star filled sky whilst sitting next to crackling fire.

Your senses become heightened as you slow down and embrace the rhythm of the Sahara.

And that, in our opinion, is great for the soul.

On this World Zebra Day we wanted to earn our stripes and celebrate the strikingly elegant Grevy Zebra.

Found in Northern Kenya and isolated pockets of Ethiopia, only 2,500 individuals of this unique species are left in the wild.

We love seeing them when on safari in the Laikipia and Samburu regions where the inspiring is located and commit their efforts to the protection of the Grevy Zebra and their habitat.

Larger and taller than the widespread plains zebra and with narrower stripes, Grevy Zebra have a beautiful thick black dorsal stripe down their spine and large, fluffy, oval shaped ears.

Unlike the more common plains zebra, their stripes stop at their belly, creating a white underbelly and, having adapted to live in more arid habitats, they can survive without water for up to five days.

Aren’t they beautiful?
