The South African midwives are warm and welcoming hosts, the country is beautiful, the wildlife stunning and food and drink, very enjoyable!

The Eel Pie Island Museum in Twickenham is a gem, covering maritime, local, social and musical history and the history of invention.

International Women’s Day has become an enormous global event that loudly celebrates women and their achievements. We enthusiastically join in this applause. Many of our tour leaders are incredible women who are leaders in their fields and we take women who are doctors, anaesthetists, midwive, physiotherapists, historians, botanists, academics, and more, all over the world.

This IWD, we also want to celebrate the women who are not blazing a public trail, but who hold together lives and homes. Who do the unpaid labour of caring. Who live difficult lives with resilience and even humour. These are the vast majority of women around the world and they hold together entire communities.

This IWD, we particularly want to acknowledge the terrible suffering of women and children in Gaza, in the Congo, in Sudan, and other areas of conflict around the world. We must not forget women experiencing adversity, who are just as clever and talented as their trailblazing sisters, but without the chance to realise their potential, and shine.
