Zakouma Chad
by Michael Lorentz
Chad has never been on my bucket list, however it is now! I have just returned from Zakouma, the park run by the fantastic African Parks – a wildlife organization which I have no hesitation in praising at every opportunity. What they have accomplished in Zakouma could truly serve as a model all over Africa.
Singing Wells
by RIchard Coke
Right up in the Matthews mountains in Kenya's Northern Frontier are the extraordinary singing wells of the Samburu people.
In the height of the dry season, the Samburu will drive their livestock 50 or 60 miles to water them here.

Inspiring Destination - Bazaruto Archipelago
