The Nomadic Kitchen presents: Spices and Spandex, the cookbook

Contemplating an adventure this year? Take a leaf out of Spices and Spandex, a cookbook for the adventurous, the free, the curious. Delve into the culinary adventures of two young men who cycled 20 000km from London to Cape Town, experiencing some of the richest and most diverse food cultures and recipes in the world.

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.

Poem: In the tracks of giants

‘To walk in the wake of elephants, to be small in a world of giants, to learn the spoor of silence, and the deep rumbling eloquence of kin.’

Today we celebrate ellies – the gentle giants who inspired our being – with these powerful words by Ian McCallum.

For the Mothers with Wild Hearts

Our mothers have a formidable role in shaping us into who we are. Today, we celebrate them. We’ve selected a few items for all those bush-loving mums out there.

Happy Mother’s Day from HTWE!

“Why is it you can never hope to describe the emotion Africa creates? You are lifted. Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted and you see it all from above.”
