By the Nomad Africa Team
With the July 2026 issue of Nomad Africa Travel Magazine, we’re thrilled to take you on a journey across the continent – from Morocco to South Africa, from Dakar to Mombasa – in a jubilant celebration of the feminine lens.
It all starts with a powerful cover image from South African visual artist Zana Masombuka, also known as the Ndebele Superhero, whose work moves through ancestry, dreams, and imagination as a spiritual practice. Our cover story, starting on page 20, takes an in-depth look at Masombuka’s craft and inspiration – and features more of her gorgeous photography.
This issue also features a powerful guest perspective from Judy Kepher-Gona, a prominent voice on tourism in Kenya and across the continent, as well as the latest round of our beloved Hot Shots series, featuring compelling images from Mali, the Maasai Mara, and the Kenyan coast.
For our features in this issue, we invite you to come along with me us set off on an overland journey from Nairobi to Johannesburg, then dive into the vibrant art and fashion world of Senegal’s vibrant capital city. Finally, sit down with us as we get to know a conservation wunderkind who’s representing Africa – and African youth – on the global stage.
Finally, in this issue you’ll find new sections for books to read and women-owned businesses we know you’ll want to add to your must-see list. There’s also a new dedicated space for the young nomad in all of us.
Happy nomading!
