Hello there,

I'm Carrie Hampton, the author of this website. I hope you enjoyed reading it and that you found some information that made you want to travel to the wonderful continent of Africa.

I came to South Africa 8 years ago from London, England and was warned that Africa gets a hold on you and sometimes you can't leave. It's true, I am still here and don't want to be anywhere else on earth!

As a freelance travel writer/photojournalist I have built up considerable experience and knowledge about truly wonderful destinations and superb accommodation. I write guidebooks, websites, coffee table books and magazine articles, mainly illustrated by my photographs, about unusual people, enticing places, weird food and unlikely adventures.
