Well, what a year it has been! In my editorial for issue 89, back in January, I said it felt like the world was in a bit of a mess and that we had become more aware of the need to be kinder to each other and to the planet. And then Covid-19 came along, and it suddenly got very messy. We have all been challenged like never before, and the impact will be felt for many years to come. Yet amidst all this we have seen acts of extraordinary kindness, generosity and mutual support. Where there is darkness, there is also light.
Some say that this will irrevocably impact the way we live our lives. Only time will tell what the ‘new normal’ will come to look like, but I wonder how much our attitude to travel might really change. For sure the process will be different, but lockdown has probably only served to intensify our urge to travel — to escape our daily routines, to experience different cultures, to meet foreign people, to explore new places, to refresh our mental and physical beings, and perhaps above all, to connect with nature.
This is confirmed in our latest reader survey, which showed that you’re excited to get back to Africa. Over 87 per cent of you are planning a trip in the next two years; 69 per cent within 12 months. Of course, you know all too well what the continent offers someone seeking some form of renewal.
