We’ve reached a time where travel has become highly uncertain. COVID-19 is unprecedented, but its impact is wide reaching and we feel it. These are some of the most challenging times in travel, and we want to give you the chance to experience the best of Africa from the comfort of your homes.

On behalf of conservation-led experiential travel company andBeyond, I’m delighted to share with you a series of digital experiences spanning sights, tastes, sounds and reads that andBeyond has pulled together to fuel your wanderlust.

Here are the best of Africa for you.

Taste Africa

There’s nothing quite as magical as African comfort food. A mouth-watering array of African-inspired menus awaits. Here you’ll find a few of andBeyond’s favourite recipes, which hail from across South to Eastern Africa. Each recipe exemplifies the vibrancy, heritage and blend of ingredients unique to its region of origin, from Can Can Chicken and African Antipasto to Zanzibar Coconut Curry and Maasai Chicken. There’s no better time than now to sharpen those culinary chops. Download your recipes today.
