Secret shores, sunrise safaris & a touch of Parisian intrigue

24 October 2025 | View in browser

Summer is calling — and with it, the promise of adventure. Whether you're dreaming of starry nights in the great outdoors, an early-morning safari, or discovering creative corners of the continent, this week's travel roundup is here to inspire your next journey.   Families looking to reconnect with nature will love our pick of scenic campsites that cater beautifully to little explorers — places where kids can run wild, toast marshmallows by the fire, and fall asleep under a sky full of constellations. If you prefer waking before dawn, there's magic in those quiet safari moments when the world stirs to life — the sound of birdsong, a steaming cup of coffee in hand, and the thrill of spotting wildlife against a rising sun.   Urban adventurers, meanwhile, can explore cities across Southern Africa that are buzzing with creative energy. From local art collectives to vibrant new design districts, these destinations are redefining what it means to travel for inspiration. And if it's a peaceful coastal retreat you're after, we'll take you to the lesser-known stretches of the Wild Coast — tranquil beaches far from the crowds.   There's good news for wildlife lovers too: a remarkable conservation success story sees green sea turtles officially removed from the endangered species list. And, across the globe, Paris is abuzz as the Louvre reopens following a much-publicised heist — a reminder that travel, like art, always comes with a touch of mystery.   Adventure awaits — where to next?   TikTok | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter  Until next week!
