The team at JUST THE PLANET have been busy selecting the world's greatest safari experiences for you and we are proud to announce that we have launched yet another new section called Luxury Safaris. We've chosen to introduce you to eight of Africa's gorgeous camps, with more coming in the next few weeks too, so that you can continue your virtual safari holiday right here, at your desk ...

LUXURY SAFARIS

Wondering what all the fuss is about the new 'glamping'? Well, glamorous camping might be the 'new' uber but we're not going to rise to the debate ... What we are excited to tell you is that we kickstart with a lifestyle angle for our new Luxury Safaris section. We focus on the work of of Craig Fraser, photographer of the book The New Safari: Décor/Design/Detail, which reflects a spirited and sophisticated design identity emerging in African safari lodges.

Interviews by Mandy Allen with designers and architects provide insight into their motivation for the concept behind each lodge.

We invite you to sit back, and take a peek inside some of the most luxurious lodges and tented camps ... Visit the Safari Lodges

Check out her reviews of four Michelin Stars in London: Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Le Gavroche, The Square and The Fat Duck ... Read More
Cookery Courses
And why not try a cookery course next time you travel? This month we suggest you try the one-of-a-kind Fynbos Cookery Course at the Twelve Apostles Hotel, Cape Town. You don't have to be a guest to book, but we suggest you make a day of it and enjoy a spa treatment too. Its award-winning spa now offers massages in gazebos on the mountainside with truly spectacular views of the sea and mountains.
Food Markets & Delis
We also feature food markets from Spitalfields, London to Maputo, Mozambique and take you on a visual journey through some of photographer Corey Amaro's favourites in the South of France.
