And once the wedding plans are sorted, let's start talking about the honeymoon. After all, every great wedding deserves an unforgettable escape.

The latest episode of The Curious Traveller, The Essence of Africa, is published.
I chat to Stuart and Caroline Hyde about their adventures in Namibia earlier this year.
Link in the comments.

Please follow the podcast on your favoured platform to allow more people to get the insights from tour operators and travellers alike.

Namibia is often described as one of Africa's last great wildernesses. A country of vast deserts, extraordinary wildlife, dramatic landscapes and endless horizons. But what is it really like to experience it for yourself?
In this episode, I'm joined by Stuart and Caroline Hyde, who recently returned from an incredible Namibian adventure that they booked through me, working alongside one of my trusted Africa specialists. From the towering dunes of Sossusvlei and the remarkable wildlife of Etosha to luxurious safari lodges and unforgettable encounters along the way, we'll be exploring every stage of their journey.
Caroline described the trip as 'the essence of Africa', and during this podcast we'll discover exactly why. We'll talk about the highlights, the surprises, the accommodation, the wildlife, and the moments that made this such a special experience. So grab a brew, sit back, and join us as we venture into one of the world's most captivating destinations.
