Working with our travel partners, Antilophia Travel, in December 2019 I guided a fantastic family of 6 to Mexico City and the Yucatan Peninsula. My first four days were spent reconnoitring the entire trip which proved to be absolutely invaluable when picking up potential problems as well as defining areas where value could be [...]

Puerto Joffre is very busy as everyone is restricted to the waterways and sightings are more two dimensional as you [...]
Ethiopia is an incredible destination fast becoming one of the worlds must see destinations, sitting high on most people’s bucket list. The Stone Churches of Lalibela, Simian Highlands, Danakil Depression and the ancient tribes of the Omo region all make for a luxury safari steeped in wildlife, history and culture quite unique from any [...]
