Ian started off his African experiences with a six month overland trip from Cape Town to Nairobi visiting eSwatini, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania. He was in South Africa when apartheid ended in 1994 and had some excitement transiting Mozambique. Along the way he also climbed both Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Kenya. He has also spent a month trekking and visiting off-the-beaten track National Parks in Uganda. Ian has spent a couple of weeks exploring Namibia on a mobile tented safari trip and has done a luxury fly-in safari around Kenya and Tanzania. His favourite place in Africa is the beautiful Indian Ocean island of Zanzibar.

Peter completed a nine month overland trip from the UK to Victoria Falls visiting lots of countries that are now mostly closed to tourists including Mali, Ivory Coast, Central African Republic and Zaire. The highlight of this trip was walking through the Ruwenzori Mountains to see the gorillas on the Zaire/Uganda border. Peter had a week in Mombasa doing the beach and safari thing before returning a couple of years later to finish his overland journey from Victoria Falls to Cape Town – that took another 5 weeks! Peter has also experience the other side of Africa with a luxury fly-in safari in Botswana and the Okavango Delta.

Linda is recently back from a two week exploration of South Africa including Cape Town, Franschoek, Phinda Private Game Reserve and Ngala Safari Lodge.

Juliet has enjoyed a luxury fly around Tanzania safari including Serengeti Under Canvas, Lemala Nanyukie, Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, Gibbs Farm and Grumeti Tented Camps, also Zanzibar.
