Here in the UK it's nearly time for the school holidays. Which, even at the tender age of, ahem, twenty-one brings a childlike thrill and sense of wonder. A chance to reset, to question the routine and to dream of adventure big and small across the world.
To celebrate that, we're launching a summer sale next week with 35% off across all our titles. You'll be sent the code first, as a thank you for subscribing. To make sure you don't miss it, hit reply to this email and we'll make sure you're on the list.
In the meantime, let's dream about school holiday adventures, shall we?
Perhaps we could head off the beaten track in Thailand and learn about the secrets of the indigo workshops there.
We could voyage to Karakalpakstan and learn the story of the disappearing sea.
Or, there's always the practical side of things. If you have weeks of entertaining the kids on your calendar, check out this book on Family Wildlife Adventures.
Totally child-free? Have you seen this collection on the best outdoor activities for adults in the UK?
Whatever your situation, may you wake up with that childlike thrill at the possibility of freedom spilling out before you.
Until next week,
Cheers, Abi
The Best Places for Seeing Gorillas
Ad | Africa Tours Adventure
Among all the wild animals in the known world, gorillas are our second closest relatives, sharing 98% of the human genome. Despite the existence of gorillas in zoos, meeting these great apes in their natural home is an experience that you can only get in Africa.
Within Africa, there are ten countries where gorillas are found. However, there are a few destinations that have developed facilities for gorilla tourism to be conducted. The top destinations for gorilla trekking are Uganda, Rwanda, DR Congo and the Republic of Congo.
In addition, going on a gorilla safari is one way that you can support conservation of gorillas and contribute to their population growth.
If you are planning to go on a gorilla safari and are wondering about where to go for this lifetime experience, here are the five best places for gorilla trekking in the world.
