Welcome to the latest issue of Travel Southern Africa, where every page is an invitation to wander deeper, linger longer and reconnect with the wild, wondrous places that make this region so unforgettable.
Our feature story ventures into KAZA – the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, a five-country wilderness safeguarding vital wildlife corridors. Here, elephants roam freely, communities and conservation thrive together, and the spirit of wild Africa beats with resilience, collaboration and a powerful sense of shared purpose.
From there, we trade savannas for shorelines in Coast to Coast, a journey along South Africa’s diverse shoreline, and slip into full holiday mode with Beach Breaks, a sun-drenched collection of escapes across Mozambique, Zanzibar, Malawi and South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Think salt on your skin, sunlit horizons and the gentle rhythm of coastal living – each destination offering its own flavour of barefoot bliss.
For those who delight in green season safaris, our birding feature reveals why this time of year is an absolute treasure, especially for photographers and quiet observers. And if you’ve ever wondered what lies beyond the telescopes, we invite you to explore Sutherland beyond the stars, where silence, science and starlight meet.
This issue also showcases soulful safaris at Hideaways Amava River Lodge and Pungwe Safari Camp – places where connection, simplicity and authenticity take centre stage. And if you desire a more adventurous safari, then Relaxation is Overrated is just for you. Threaded through it all is a strong focus on responsible tourism: travelling with intention, supporting local communities, and ensuring that the places we love remain protected for generations to come.
Wherever your next journey leads, may these pages inspire you to explore a little deeper.
