Wonderful being back in Uganda! Such lush, fertile scenery especially around the highlands of Kibale Forest. Huge tea estates and plantations of bananas and sugar cane. This is proper unspoilt Africa. Being looked after beautifully by Frontiers Uganda.

A spectacular week spent with the marine mammals of Baja California. Our time was split between The Sea of Cortez aboard the 12 passenger Nautilus Gallant Lady accompanied by humpbacks, fin whales, whale sharks, countless dolphins and even the elusive blue whale. A short flight north brought us to a luxury camp on San Ignacio lagoon, the breeding ground of the grey whale. A remarkably social whale, particularly the calves who love to pop their heads out of the water to see which humans have come to visit. All in all a wonderful week of true escapism amongst some of the world’s most remarkable and uplifting creatures! Contact [email protected] for further information about these trips.

An amazing 5 days in the Danum Valley and Kinabatangan River area, we’ve seen some wonderful wildlife, been jungle trekking, white water rafting, mountain bike riding and I’ve even managed to fit in a very much needed massage! We are now off to relax on Gaya Island. I can highly recommend Borneo to anyone wanting wildlife, adventure and relaxation. Please do get in touch with me if you would like me to send you details.

Borneo – wild, rich, and wonderfully alive.

I’m back in Borneo after nearly 30 years, we’re thrilled to add this extraordinary island to Natural High’s journeys. I’m here with my son for the October half term, and it’s proving a fantastic family adventure.

Yesterday we watched orangutans, sun bears and the remarkable proboscis monkeys — moments that stay with you.

We’ve just arrived at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge in the heart of the Danum Valley, one of Southeast Asia’s last great lowland rainforests. Heavy rain has called off the night drive, but tomorrow we’ll be out exploring on foot — the best way to feel the jungle come alive. Gill

After the madness of Marrakech I went to Kasbah Bab Ourika in the Atlas Mountains for 4 nights - I absolutely loved it.

Just an hour from Marrakesh l this hidden gem is perfect to relax for a few days after either a trek in the Mountains or shopping in the Medina.
⁣
Surrounded by fragrant gardens of lavender, rosemary, olive, and orange trees, this peaceful retreat offers more than just stunning views, you can spend your time on day treks in the surrounding area, visiting the local Berber villages and markets, enjoying a Hammam in the spa or just reading a book in the stunning gardens. The food is delicious and the staff, most are locals from the Berber Villages, are wonderful. 🌺🍊

I can highly recommend this amazing place.

Please do get in touch with either myself or Vanessa if you would like to know more about Kasbah Bab Ourika.

If you are looking for something different to do this summer, the Kingdom of Ladakh, an enchanting mountainous outpost lying 3500 metres up on a high plateau in India, offers something for all the family. Your visit can be as quiet or action-packed as you’d like. There are excursions to some of the oldest monasteries but also an abundance of adventurous activities such as rafting down the Zanskar, mountain biking, day hikes, overnight camping, visits to local schools and beautiful picnics by the river or in lush Willow groves.

Few holiday experiences allow the kind of immersion into local life as Shakti Himalaya’s village experiences. Each of Shakti’s village houses complete with dedicated household staff to attend to every whim, the accommodations are also extremely comfortable.

If you would like more information on the Shakti Village Experience in Ladakh, Kumaon Himalaya or Sikkim please get in touch with Gillian - [email protected] or 01747 830950
