LONDON (1 June 2022) — The Jul/Aug issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) is out tomorrow and the cover story this month focuses on the latest safari experiences available across Africa. The newest trips offer wildlife-watchers far more than just a twice-daily drive in a diesel truck — from cutting-edge lodges and innovative electric vehicles to hands-on conservation encounters and off-grid adventures in biodiverse landscapes, there’s a raft of options for exhilarating, eco-minded trips.

This issue also sees the return of the annual Reader Awards. Seeking to reward the very best in the travel business — including airlines, destinations, books and accommodation — there are 24 incredible prizes on offer.

ALSO INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Thailand: Explore a thriving food scene and quiet retreats in the country’s verdant heart.
