National Geographic Traveller (UK) - March 2024

This month’s cover story focuses on fresh experiences in South Africa — from luxury rail journeys and undulating coastal road trips to wine tours, mountain adventures and excursions to vibrant neighbourhoods humming with creativity. We also find Scotland at its most elemental with a trek across the frost-covered Highlands; seek out culture and conservation on a St Vincent & the Grenadines island-hopping tour; meet the movers and shakers reinventing Berlin’s enduring arts and culture scene; and discover the hidden history that lies behind Dubai’s ultramodern facade.
