MADIKWE HILLS PRIVATE GAME LODGE
This Month’s Cover
I like the phrase above, not only because of its religious baring but it’s meaning particularly my personal understanding of it. To me it states that everything that man has ever achieved began with an idea, regardless of how big or small that was the basis of all inventions that have made it easy for mankind to survive and evolve over time.
With that said, allow me to introduce you to our contribution to the Tourism Industry in Africa. Ultimate Guide to Africa has stood the test of time being one of the first online magazines in Africa with 33 issues and now 34. The magazine has evolved over the years regarding its editorial, design and reader profile through TCB Media, which is the company that developed the idea. The next possible phase for the magazine was for it to be in the hands of a company that is dedicated to the idea of digital Publishing. From the April Issue, Tauro Creations and Media a Boutique Digital Publishing Company committed to growing the opportunity of delivering Digital Publications will publish Ultimate Guide to Africa going forward.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, lets unpack the April Issue and
take a journey though “Gods Private Garden” and explore Safari Holidays in Africa.
For those who love to visit Africa for its abundance of Wildlife experiences and Safaris, this issue will be exactly what you needed for planning your next holiday. From our cover feature about the luxurious accommodation and safaris at Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge to our “Destination Downtime” feature which profiles 3 of Southern African Properties that are a must visit in Africa.
If you are currently planning a holiday to African you might also be interested in our feature “Family Holidays in Africa” which explores some of the countries that have family friendly game reserves that one can visit
With April been our first issue, we hope to bring you more breath taking destinations and introduce you to more exclusive services.
Enjoy...
