Matthew Sterne – Colombia, page 96
Deep in the Colombian jungle is an ancient city that hidden for centuries. A five-day trek takes would-be Indiana Joneses to see it.
Craig Foster – underwater portfolio, page 56
A new book called Sea Change reveals the marvels of the undersea kelp forests of the Cape Peninsula – a first step in getting them on the map as one of the great natural wonders of the world.
Getaway Gallery 2018 winners, page 32
We announce the winners of Africa’s premier photography competition.
Jacques Marais – Lubombo, page 88
Most of his outdoor mates know Jacques as #DieOom…let’s just say he’s pretty okay with that. With more than five decades of adventuring – starting as a barefoot boerseun in the wilds of the Baviaans River Conservancy – he’s travelled to nearly 30 countries on his favourite continent, Africa. And nothing beats a trip like his recent exploration of Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area, in which he crossed the border to hunt down stories and action. Jacques is an imaging ambassador for Sony Xperia and a range of global photographic brands.
