The Summer 2013 edition of Travel Africa (issue #63) will be published on the 25th of June, 2013. In the first of two stories Paul Bloomfield writes of kayaking to Victoria Falls along the upper Zambezi with the recent Comic Relief expedition. Besides having a grand tale to tell, he also outlines how you can team up with friends and family to tackle the same challenge. The second article, written by Laurianne Claase, follows a classic canoe safari down the middle Zambezi from Lake Kariba to Mana Pools National Park, a route ripe with wildlife encounters. Botswana: Bush skills Emma Gregg travels to the Okavango Delta to experience a bush skills adventure, learning how to fish, trap and track, as well as how to identify edible vegetation, find water in the wild and navigate by the stars. Namibia: At home with the Himba Most homestays don’t involve you removing your clothes and coating your body in a mixture of fat, ash and ochre... Though living with the Himba people of northern Namibia is no ordinary homestay. Emma Thomson tells the story of her four days living with these enigmatic people. Tanzania: The wild west Anthea Rowan writes of Katavi National Park, a place that has captured her imagination. She concludes that Katavi isn’t infrequently visited because the park is not worth it – it is simply because it is hard to get to. And she believes that fact is where the beauty lies: “Because it’s so unspoiled, Katavi gives generously of itself in terms of wildlife encounters.” Kenya: Amboseli National Park Anthony Ham discusses at the issues currently surrounding this famed park and looks to possible long-term solutions to ensure wildlife, nature and tourism can sustainably exist. Malawi: Lakeside drive Follow Nicola Rushmere as she drives the length of the country, taking in Mount Mulanje, the national parks of Shire and Liwonde, the Nyika Plateau and, of course, the shores of Lake Malawi.
