Travels with Alice

P o s t c a r d from / Bamurru Plains in Australia’s Top End. “The accommodation was great and reminded us of the best we experienced in Zambia. The staff were delightful. The woman in charge, Jo, was exceptionally professional. Our Lord’s Safari guide took us out on the floodplains the Bamurru Plains accommodation looks over. It was fun to go out and wonderful to see the bird life (and occasional croc) amongst the grasses and in the old paperbark swamps on the edge of the flood plain. The buffalo and horses from the farm wade out for a long way into this area and are very picturesque.”

P o s t c a r d / from Kings Canyon, Australia. “Today we walked the Canyon rim track, starting at 8am so it was cool and shady for the initial steep climb. A beautiful, still morning and complete silence, we only saw 4 other people.”

P o s t c a r d s / from Africa. “We had an AMAZING trip, zero problems and we loved everything. Especially the first camp in Kenya and the last camp in Botswana. Really stellar. Here are a few photos from the Kenya portion, where we had good weather, great food and an abundance of amazing animals and landscapes.

C r u s h / of the week. We have been busy with non stop meetings .travel the last few days, but this beauty made us stop in our tracks this morning. is an exclusive-use villa situated along 2km of private beachfront on South Africa’s Eastern Cape coastline, with 275 hectares of ancient coastal nature reserve, teaming with wildlife. The villa sleeps a total of 8 guests, in 4 en-suite ocean facing bedrooms on an exclusive-use, fully inclusive basis. It is perfect for a multigenerational family stay or a group of friends.

G r e a t / Plains. Woke up this morning happy in the thought that two different sets of clients were today touching down in two camps , Mara Nyika in Kenya and Duba Plains in Botswana. Whilst both of these camps are very different and will offer our guests a very unique experience, what they will without doubt have in common is incredible guiding and wildlife sightings whilst out on safari and unbeatable comfort and service whilst in camp (not to mention a really, really good bathtub, it’s a thing 💦)

P o s t c a r d / from India. “We have returned to France after an amazing two weeks touring Rajasthan with your excellent team. The personalised service from the moment we landed to the moment we flew back out of Delhi was excellent. Each of your tour guides was wonderful and we appreciated their vast knowledge of each city we visited. Aakash in Agra made our visit to his town and the Taj really magical. He is also an amazing photographer and we now have many excellent family pictures throughout Agra thanks to him! Jay in Jaipur was a wealth of information and a great pleasure to spend time with. We very much appreciated the family blessing he brought us to at the Krishna temple. Our time with Pretom in Jodhpur was just as lovely, and he was amazing at explaining Hindu culture and views on religion and reincarnation as well as the gorgeous architecture we visited with him. Once in Udaipur we enjoyed very much meeting Raj and Shurveer, both very professional and pleasant. Shurveer took us to a Hindu temple and much more, he was very knowledgable and a real joy to spend time with. Our last stop in Delhi was with Jai who brought us on an amazing bicycle rickshaw ride, to visit a magnificent temple and most amazingly to visit the kitchen and active temple of the Sikh community. And last, but certainly not least, we would like to extend a very big thank you to our most wonderful driver Amandeep. Without Amandeep and his excellent driving our trip would not have been the same. He is a kind soul, helpful driver with advice when we needed it, and he seems to know every back street from Delhi through all of Rajasthan. We hope to return to India through your services one day in the future, thanks to your team we feel that we had the best trip through Rajasthan possible.” Huge thank you to you exceeded expectations as ever 🙏 🇮🇳

S e r r a / Cafema. Thinking of our guests currently out exploring this remote corner of far-north Namibia where Serra Cafema Camp sits under shady trees overlooking the Kunene River. Our last guests wrote of their stay “Serra Cafema could not have been better, a great lodge with friendly staff. All tours and activities were fantastic and we had an exceptional guide. Enjoyed the river outing and visit to the Himba people, and the quad biking was extraordinary, including skiing down sand dunes.”

P o s t c a r d s / from Morocco. We have loved seeing all the happy faces of our families out enjoying their half term holidays in Morocco, from lodges set high in the Atlas Mountains to private desert camps in the Agafay, from boutique hotels on sleepy lagoons to action packed surf resorts. Just a 3.5 hour flight from the U.K., Morocco is the perfect short-haul destination for a family getaway, offering fascinating culture, a rich history, beautiful scenery and more often than not, a much needed blast of sunshine!

L a t e g r a m / from Mauritius. “We have arrived. And It’s beautiful. We spent this afternoon exploring and having a swim and then we had a bite to eat in the main restaurant and now we are having a white fluffy dressing gown night. The villa is epic, and so much space for the kids, we can be quite apart from them in our bed/bath too. We are thrilled to be here, thanks so much.”
