It has been one year since we launched IOL Travel digital magazine.

At that point, the world was in the thick of the pandemic, with people trying to familiarise themselves with a new lifestyle of mask-wearing and social distancing.

Some countries shut their borders completely.

A year later, most of the world is opening up.

Some people are vaccinated and ready to explore.

While restrictions are in place in South Africa, travellers can explore the country or venture abroad.

When this magazine launched a year ago, I had no idea of its impact.

What I did know was I wanted to create a magazine that people looked forward to every month.

A magazine that inspired, educated and offered instant wanderlust.

This month’s edition, in partnership with Tourism KwaZulu-Natal, celebrates the winter season.

Just like the magazines my mom would buy for me when I was younger. I hope this magazine does that and more when you turn its pages.

What to expect this month

This month's edition, in partnership with Tourism KwaZulu-Natal, celebrates the winter season.
