Our editorial policy

Our team of writers is sent into the field to experience and report back on real adventures.

1. Tell it to us straight

Our writers are never expected to wax lyrical about accommodation, tours or what they find out there if it's not up to scratch. Far more valuable to us are their real-life experiences and recommendations that put you straight into the picture.

2. Field knowledge

All our writers have experience of travelling in Africa. Some have worked, and still work, as safari guides - and their birding, wildlife and knowledge of Africa's wilderness areas is wide-ranging and at your disposal in the form of the articles they write.

3. An opinionated bunch

We value our writers' experiences and opinions and we rely on them to create a guide that's of interest and relevance to our readers and clients.
