New Brunswick - David Wickers has been exploring Canada's Atlantic coast

These days it’s rare to find a destination that’s easy to reach (a six or so hour flight from Heathrow), is as big as Scotland, has wonderful natural sights, delicious food and interesting places to stay, yet one that few Brits have even heard of, let alone would be able to find on the map. Welcome to New Brunswick, one of the Maritime Provinces on the eastern seaboard of Canada.

Sustainable Success - Namibia's

This month some 15 black rhino were released, in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund, into Namibia’s remote and arid northwest Kunene region. Our Africa team can arrange safaris to see these remarkable animals, travelling with Conservancy Safaris - which is 100% owned by the local Himba and Herero people who have been hugely successful in managing their natural resources. The tours offer guests a chance to see community-based conservation projects in action as well as the rhinos and a menagerie of other animals.

Our 10 day ‘Kunene Kaleidoscope’ tour, which provides the ultimate wildlife, conservation and indigenous culture experience, starts from Swakopmund and costs from around £3,950 per person, excluding international flights.
