This month’s contributors

Matthew Sterne – Limpopo, page 52

When Matthew Sterne heard that the oldest baobabs in South Africa were dying, he decided to visit the ancients still standing. His baobab trail ended up being as surprising as it was unusual.

Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2018 – page 66

We can’t help feeling a bit starry-eyed when peering into the beyond with the latest astrophotography winners.

Lisa Johnston – Johannesburg, page 74

Forget the crowded restaurants and bin those red roses. With so many unique spaces to explore, there’s no need to resort to clichés this February 14.

Franki Clemens – Lake Como, page 94

With its grand villas and romantic villages, Lake Como is a favoured playground of the rich and famous – but it has a more outdoorsy side too… and a generous supply of gelato.
