We launched Travel Africa magazine in September 1997 as a magazine for everyone with a love of the African continent and to help inspire and inform African travellers.

We continue to strive to provide a full and balanced context on the African continent. We want people to look beyond the news headlines and appreciate the diversity and balance of this wonderful continent and her people; to be able to make qualified decisions on where to travel, based on the reality of what is actually going on on the ground. Africa is extraordinary. Its people some of the most peaceable, friendly and welcoming in the world. Its natural beauty and heritage breathtaking and abundant. They say you never visit Africa once; that it touches you in a way that is often hard to explain. If we can help people to experience Africa, to open their hearts and minds to it, we will have achieved our purpose.

Travel Africa covers the whole of this, the world's most exciting continent. We visit some of Africa's most popular attractions and introduce readers to some of its lesser known, unexplored destinations. We learn about its diverse wildlife, in the process discovering some of its extraordinary flora and fauna. We meet Africa's people, understanding their traditions and aspirations as the continent adapts to the modern world.

Our emphasis on the practicalities of travel in Africa will help you to plan your next safari and will address some of your concerns about travel in this vast continent.

Our contributors are drawn from some of the best writers and photographers in the world, their creativity and expert opinion providing a read that is entertaining and informed. Whether you are a regular African traveller or exploring the continent for the first time, Travel Africa is for you.

Travel Africa is published quarterly from our office in Oxford, England, and is available worldwide by subscription or in select retail outlets in the United Kingdom, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and other countries.
