"The traveller who knows where he will rest this night is hardly a traveller at all."

Théophile Gautier

 
REALLY WILD!
Wildlife travel specialist Ron Toft has just returned from the Waterberg region of South Africa where he attended the opening of the 16,000 hectare-Greater Mokolo Nature Reserve (created by taking down the shared boundary fences between two game parks to give animals access to the Mokolo River and adjacent plains for the first time in many years) and the launch of new ecotourism facilities, including river safaris and the River Lodge waterfront retreat (to be opened later this year). Conservationists hope that other landowners will also take down their fences to boost biodiversity. Complete packages of words and high resolution digital images available.

Freelance writer and editor. I specialise in cruise features, mostly for national newspapers, but I also love writing about Britain, family holidays (increasingly adventure trips) and garden tours (I've got RHS qualifications). I co-wrote Frommer's Wales With Your Family and I'm involved in more writing and editing projects for Frommer's.

"The setting is superb, like Rome, Istanbul is built on seven hills, and as with the eternal city, the simultaneity of past and present thrives here. At the confluence of Islam and Christianity, Istanbul groans under the weight of its own history. More impressive than any veneer of twenty-first century excess are the ones far removed. Those ancient layers form the very fabric of this city of over 20 million inhabitants."
