I can tell from the way we’re needling each other now after long days in the office, processing pictures, polishing pitches and chasing unpaid invoices, that it’s high time we were heading off back to the African bush. Our run-down...
Normally at this time of year we’ve skilfully swapped the depressing, post-Christmas, 50 shades of grey, British winter for the Southern Hemisphere, for Africa, for big cats and the 40 degree heat of the Kalahari. Our natural habitat, for the...
