Women Who Launch: Sophie Galvagnon of Selar
The Arctic is objectively one of the most impressive places on earth. Awe-inspiring icy landscapes, magnificent wildlife and fascinating Indigenous groups are just a few of the area's selling points... and nobody understands its magic better than Sophie Galvagnon. The celebrated maritime explorer is on a mission to revolutionise the polar tourism industry. She, alongside two others, have founded expedition company Selar, which is currently building a close-to-zero-emission sailing vessel. Powered by sun and wind, five sails are covered in 20,000 solar panels, saving 90% CO2 compared to most cruise ships currently operating in the region. With expeditions set for Norway, Svalbard and Greenland in 2026, each destination offers something different. Their commonality is that they are all fragile ecosystems in need of preservation. With no set itineraries, Galvagnon describes each expedition as ‘experientially unique and sustainable’, with adventures wholly tailored to the whims of the natural environment. Below, we chat to Galvagnon about the inspiration behind Selar and her admirable mission to protect the corner of the world she loves so much.

Call Of The Wild — Luxury Safari In Botswana
As the plane begins its descent over Chobe National Park, the view from the window is picture-perfect. The Okavango Delta stretches as far as the eye can see, winding and weaving its way through the marshland, its snakelike pattern is mesmerising. It's the closest thing to the Garden of Eden we can experience on earth. This region is the beating heart of Botswana and the lifeblood for an array of remarkable wildlife. Within its great expanse, elephants, hippos, giraffes and cheetahs roam freely. They put on a show unknowingly, offering visitors an all-access pass to their wild world. The flooded landscape of the Delta is truly special. Whether it be weaving through the reeds or kicking up dust on a dirt track, there is diversity day-to-day. With a focus on sustainability and eco-tourism, Botswana intentionally limits the number of visitors passing through, guaranteeing a level of exclusivity. Desert & Delta Safaris — the tour company founded in 1982 — is the only operator to consider when booking a Botswana safari. With a comprehensive property portfolio, travelling between camps is common and made possible via charter. The group’s integrated company, Safari Air, operates 12-seater aircrafts to carry guests between properties. Flying at low altitude, these lodge hops are a very scenic way to travel.
