It’s almost the end of January and true to form most of us have probably fallen well short of those 2014 resolutions. Luckily, the Chinese New Year (31 January) is just around the corner, which means we can all start over. If you want to scratch that travel itch, read on, as the Year of the Wooden Horse spells wanderlust for anyone in search of a more remote Africa.
According to Susan Levitt*, professional astrologer in San Francisco, California, travel, risk and exploration are key for the coming Chinese New Year. “It’s going to be an excellent year for travel, and the more far away and off the beaten path the better! The independent, non-conformist horse will be an inspiration to many in 2014 so it’s a great time for you to see the world, and summer is deemed to be exceptionally lucky.”
Head for the Makgadikgadi pans in Botswana – our new and improved 12-day Desert & Delta Express (Southbound) giving you the option to safari across this remote wilderness by quad bike!

Spitzkoppe , is a must see to be believed location. Forget hiking, as here you’ll be bouldering about the rocks and travelling back a few thousand years to view an art gallery courtesy of the early San Bushmen.
Africa’s last remaining wetland wilderness is the ultimate wild and free destination, and the Okavango Delta is home to four of the Big Five. Hop on one of our accommodated small group safaris as from March 2014, we’re including tented camping in the bush, allowing you to soak up the atmosphere in a bit more comfort.
If the summer is going to be exceptionally lucky, 2014 is a must for annual migration seekers. Grab a seat on our 13-day Kenya & Tanzania Adventure for your chance to view one of the world’s greatest wildlife spectacles
