Madagascar just does things its own way. Over 60 percent (an estimated 150,000) of its creatures are found nowhere else in the world. And with stunning beaches, rich cultural history and a confounding yet delicious fusion of culinary influences, it never ceases to amaze its visitors. Want to explore Madagascar with me? Let me know today! 🦎

Fresh from my adventures with We Are Africa, I joined with a lovely group of ladies for my 'Into the Heart of Namibia' journey - and what a wonderful experience we are being treated to.

We began with explorations of the capital, Windhoek (a fascinating and culturally rich city, if you ever happen to be in the area!), before migrating north to Etosha.

Unlike much of the country, Etosha offers up a more classically African safari, and we enjoyed game drives, sundowners and incredible sightings of elephant, zebra, oryx and white rhino, for which the park is particularly renowned. And what a wonderful collective of like-minded ladies to be sharing my journey with!

But our adventures aren't over yet; onwards to Damaraland, Swakopmund and the red dunes of Sossusvlei!

One of the most overlooked safari destinations, Malawi may not offer the drama of a Great Migration or extraordinary luxury of a Kruger safari, but instead brings diversity, exclusivity and a certain intimacy rarely found in the more frequented countries.

Enjoying all the spoils of España, two of my lovely clients joined Biznaga's Casey Merwood for an incredible Surrender to Spain journey that I was proud to partner with. Sampling delights in and out of the vineyards, the group dined on gourmet dishes, attended cooking classes and embraced the sunshine of the European summer.

It has always been my greatest joy to travel the world, and my adventures have taken me to all four corners. While many women possess that same desire, I appreciate that my tenacity and independence aren’t so widely shared. That’s why it brings me so much pleasure to encourage others to share my journeys with me, leading the way on adventures that many may not consider feasible. Give yourself permission, and follow me around the world.

In the Inca Empire, women were far more than background figures — they were weavers of culture, keepers of the cosmos, and integral to politics and religion. From farming and textile mastery to sacred rituals and royal influence, their role was vital to the empire’s heartbeat.

Morocco is a land trapped in time - or, perhaps it simply defies its incessant march, defining itself immortally as a place of wonder, culture and crafts. Add to this the intoxicating aromas of flavours gathered from across Africa and Europe. Returning to one of my favourite and most celebrated destinations, I invite you to join me in Morocco this September retracing a handful of my previous steps and forging new pathways, on an exceptional exploration of its souks and treasures.

Notes From the Field:

In South Africa for the 2025 Indaba travel trade show, Sarah Hoyland also took the opportunity to participate in the T.H.I.N.K. Away Summit, focussed on upholding conservation through tourism. Remaining current and ensuring the sustainability of our partners is essential to us here at The Classic Safari Company, but such travel also offers some wonderful opportunities to see conservation in action:

"What a way to spend a Saturday! We had a hands-on rhino experience where we assisted in ear-notching and inserting a tracker into the horn of a baby rhino. As part of the T.H.I.N.K. Away conference, we were given the unique opportunity to actively participate in conservation efforts focused on protecting these magnificent creatures.

"The THINK Away weekend is dedicated to exploring innovative conservation strategies and fostering collaboration among wildlife enthusiasts and professionals to safeguard Africa’s rich biodiversity.

"This incredible day not only allowed us to contribute to the well-being of rhinos but also highlighted the importance of our collective efforts in wildlife preservation."

Ear notching is the practice of taking a small notch from the ears of rhino. Safe and all but painless, this allows researchers, trackers and conservationists to identify individuals from a distance.
