ADVENTURE ~ FAMILY ~ SAFARI

RESTORED PROTECTED PRESERVED WILD

Gladstones is named after the iconic Gladstone bag designed in the 1850s that is still produced in traditional and contemporary iterations today.

The Gladstones bag started life in an era when big-game hunting also emerged. To audiences at the time, exhibitions of exotic trophies along with books written and lectures delivered on these wild safari adventures and exploits, were mesmerising and barely believable.

Thankfully a momentum of awareness and learning prevailed as photographic safari emerged. This alternative African adventure continued and now, we herald the era of our deeper desire for experiential travel, to connect with nature, to observe, learn and participate in protecting habitats and precious creatures.

Gladstones is part of the momentum in today’s safari; inspiring adventure in Africa and engagement with the wild.

A safari home from home, Gladstones, resting in an indigenous landscaped garden, is where you land with your bag and your adventurer’s heart, to encounter those wild animals, to assimilate nature with all senses, and to take valuable safari trophies home; only this time, the trophies are experiences and memories.

Still mesmerising – still barely believable!
