For The Solo Traveller
Egypt & The Nile - recommended by Jennie Lemon
If you’re venturing solo, Egypt with Abercrombie & Kent is a dream made effortless. Their expert guides (often Egyptologists!) bring history vividly to life and seamless logistics mean you’re never left adrift. Cruising up the Nile on a small, elegant boat offers just the right blend of peacefulness and socialisation. It’s safe, enriching and utterly unforgettable. This tour through ancient Egypt is a remarkable journey for anyone craving comfort and cultural and historical discovery.
For The Artists
Morocco - recommended by Chris Bellmon
In Morocco, art lives in the everyday, beyond the museums and galleries. It’s where traditional craftsmanship reigns from furniture to jewellery to clothing to carpets to ceramics and more. Intricate patterns line the walls and floors of the city and riads and is an integral part of Morocco’s iconic architecture. Marrakech was one of my first travels as an adult and to this day remains my favourite destination. There’s a vibe in the main town that is irreplicable – at every corner, in every shop, there is no mistaking you’re in Morocco.
For The Couples
Okavango Delta, Botswana - recommended by Vanessa Mackie
Experiencing this natural sanctuary from the air is a safari like no other. It’s raw, beautiful and unforgettable. For the best animal sightings, try to get there between June and October when the rains have stopped and the flood waters have arrived.
