Tree Houses

The Lion Sands family of game lodges, not far from where I live, in South Africa, have a fantastic trio of tree houses where you can camp out, in absolute luxury. I was lucky enough to spend the night at a couple of them, for 'Escape' Magazine.

One day I'd like to set up something like this at Nantwich Lodge, in Zimbabwe. As a part owner I get to suggest crazy stuff like that.

Africa's Top 10

 In this article, for 'Escape' magazine, I try to narrow down my Top 10 must-do things in Africa.  Of course, these days my number 1 choice would be a stay at Nantwich Lodge, in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, because I'm a part-owner!

Women's Weekly safari

 Here's a little number I wrote back when 'Silent Predator' was released, about the merits of going on safari in South Africa.  These days I live there half the year!

Self Drive Safari

 Here's an article I wrote for 'Escape' about the merits of doing a self-drive safari in Africa.  While I still believe this is the best way to see Africa and her wildlife, as the part-owner of a safari lodge I also highly recommend that you book some time in Nantwich Lodge, in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe!

 I've been going through my old press clippings and have decided to update my travel blog.  Enjoy this old number, and a few more!
