“Egypt really needs to be seen to be believed. There are not many countries where one can enjoy such rich culture and history, plus beautiful scenery, wonderful diving and winter sun all in one holiday.” Report by Kate Burnell, Country Director East.
Egypt came as a wonderful surprise to me - I had prepared myself [...]
This was my second trip to the Middle East since joining Steppes Travel and one that has reconfirmed my love affair with this part of the world.
Yes the ancient history is amazing but it’s the people who make these countries special. There are few places where you will find such genuine friendliness and generosity and [...]
I wasn’t prepared for the mind boggling facts that make Botswana and the Okavango Delta such an amazing geographical phenomenon let alone for the reality of flying over this incredible land.
Botswana is a landlocked, flat country, the same size as France; a vast sand-filled basin characterised by scrub-covered desert and savannah. Except in [...]
I had a fabulous time on my holiday in Mongolia with my Dad. The day after we arrived in Mongolia, we went on a five day Yak Trek. I thought that was a great trip even if I had to share a yurt (Mongolian tent) with my Dad. One morning, we looked out of the [...]

I started my trip in Nairobi at the House of Waine, where the staff are charming and it is the perfect antidote to an international flight. I also went to see the [...]
In September my sister asked if I would be interested in joining her on a trip to the Karoo. I am always happy travelling with my sister but had little knowledge of the Karoo. I thought it would be flat and uninteresting with a lot of grazing sheep so had given little thought to what [...]

Leaving behind six inches of snow, I arrived at Dar’s extremely hot and humid airport and hopped [...]
My sister and I arrived at the airstrip at Londolozi on a beautiful hot, clear day. We were feeling rather jaded after a long flight from London but were met by a very welcome sight - Bronny waving cheerfully with Chris, our guide, sporting a Mexican style moustache and unusual tattoos.
We were whisked off [...]
