This July, we teamed up with Audley Travel to help them find a new brand ambassador . We asked bloggers to share an article detailing their most memorable wildlife experience for the chance to win an African safari for two to report back on.

Each entry was judged based on the values they displayed, their writing style and tone, and also their photography ability. You can see all of the entries we received by searching #AudleyBloggerChallenge on Twitter.

‘With nearly 50 entries in total, choosing a winner was incredibly difficult, especially as the quality was so high.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to enter. If you weren’t successful this time, please do keep your eyes peeled for any other opportunities as we are keen to work more with the blogger community in the future. The #AudleyBloggerChallenge has put plenty of new faces on our radar.

The winner…

Congratulations to Heather Cole for her winning article ‘Prowling lions and noble warriors’.  Read Heather’s article on her Conservant Traveller blog here.

Heather will be spending seven nights in Kenya staying at three Hemingways Collection properties.

Well done to everyone who entered, we thoroughly enjoyed reading your entries.
