Be part of Socotra’s future

Well done Hilary and Joyce! Every success with your guide – it will be a fascinating read! I hope it encourages great interest and sustainable tourism to this unknown island - to the benefit of the local population.

I visited Socotra a year ago and instantly fell in love. Thank you for spreading the word!

My father was stationed on Socotra during World War 2 at the RAF radio station and I would love to go and visit.

I've been inquiring about travel to Socotra with travel agents there for several years; of late they have gone silent, I presume because of the war. I dearly want to visit and would be devastated if going there becomes impossible.

The lost paradise will be found again. Soctra is a heaven in earth and should always be protected.

I really want to travel to Socotra! And this seems like a good isea

Found out about this a little late but am so excited to contribute to these efforts. I visited Yemen in 2007 and never got the chance to see Socotra. It is still my dream one day, of course would love even more to see peace for the people of Yemen. Thank you and look forward to your book!

I have visited Yemen some years back and loved it. I have always wanted to visit Socotra and this guide will be another incentive to realise my ambition.

I love this!

I'm about to turn 80 so I have to express my admiration for your dedication to preserving the world's wonderful places in books at a similar age. I am not so intrepid, but you give me role models! Thank you.

Always wanted to visit Socotra

Hope you save this island, I grew up in Yemen but never made it to this magical place...one day I'd like to...

I am from the Czech Republic. I visited Socotra island in 2005 and have longed to revisit it ever since. I am a big supporter of Bradt guides, I even once (naively) offered to write a new one about Moldova (still missing, btw.). Currently, I reside in Armenia and of course, on any trip outside my home I use the Armenia Bradt Guide. After the coronavirus break and end of Yemeni war, I would love to show Socotra to my kids with the fresh new Socotra Bradt Guide in hand. Thank you. I wish you all success, good health and spirit. Best regards, Jan Plesinger

great initiative and ready to fly there . Grest to hesr on the cairo flight. It has been on my wish list. Luckily i saw Yemen before. God bless these great people

I am a cruising sailor, intending to stop at Socotra on passage of Indian Ocean. It is a very convenient stop, and necessary since Aden, Yemen has been risk to sailors. Important to keep Socotra open to cruisers.

I hope that my family and I will be able to visit this wondrous place one day!

I have always loved the idea of Socotra since reading Rudyard Kipling as a young girl. Later I fell in love with its unique botany. I would love to go there, but at this time of my life will probably be unable. Regardless, I wish to support this project.

March this year, I travelled to Southern Oman for a bird photography trip. During my stay, I learned about Socotra, given that my location in Oman was not too far away from the border of Yemen. Reading about Socotra's unique nature ... hence, it needs all the support it can get.

On behalf of Yemenis and myself I thank you for not letting the world forget about our magnificent Socotra.

I'm just delighted and I hope I'll be able to visit this place once in my life (still some 25 to go...)

As a travel business retiree, I was in Yemen several times. I remember it in the 1990's as The Bible with Kalashnikofs. Totally unique. I was just very lucky to see it then.

I have passed Socotra several times in my life but will never actually get there in my life. This book is an attempt to show me what I’ve missed.

Thank you for your perseverance. I really hope I can put this book to use soon.

Socotra has been on my bucket list for years. Hopefully we will be able to visit it in a few years. Your book should help bring needed attention towards protecting this spectacular world treasure.

Always a dream to visit Socotra. So happy that good people like yourselves are helping.
