Welcome to the Bath of the Midlands! "Almost as iconic an image of East Africa as the elephants and lions they share the plains with, the Maasai have fascinated me ever since my first visit to the region in 1994." OUT TODAY: May's issue of The Travel Club! And it's another absolute corker (if we do say so ourselves). New book alert – introducing West with the Light, the upcoming autobiography of Brian Jackman! Following his childhood memories of the Blitz and wartime evacuation to his many years spent as a Fleet Street journalist, this is the heart-warming story of how one of Britain’s most distinguished travel writers became a champion of ecotourism. Another day, another delivery! We could not be more excited to publish our second colouring book, this time showcasing Britain's exceptional places! They're finally here! Advances of our fully updated guide to São Tomé and Príncipe have landed at HQ and we couldn't be more excited. Fully updated by the brilliant @shanboqol and Kathleen Becker, it remains the only standalone English-language guide to these truly remarkable islands, and is an indispensable handbook for anyone planning a trip. You'd be forgiven for thinking a temple like this is located in Greece or Italy. But this is the Temple of Garni, the only Greco-Roman colonnaded building in Armenia and the former Soviet Union. The Mosquée de la Divinité, Dakar is an undoubted architectural gem. Situated on a fishing beach in Ouakam just outside the Senegalese capital, it was completed in 1997 and is known for its twin towering minarets, each offering wonderful views over the Atlantic and the colorful pirogues below. For my final image I’m leaving you with this spectacular panorama of London. Pre-Covid, England’s capital had an average of 55,000 visitors per day. That means there is enormous potential for crossover when it comes to photos, with many people taking very similar shots of the same sights. So, for me, it’s key to be able to get to places that most other visitors can’t to find new angles that many don’t get to see. Although upon first glance the UNESCO-protected canals of Amsterdam may all look the same, they are, on closer inspection, quite different.
