THE JG BLACK BOOK COLLECTION

Welcome to the ultimate traveler’s black book. THE JG BLACK BOOK

David R. Stoecklein David R. Stoecklein’s fascination with the ranching heritage of the American West led him to befriend, and subsequently photograph, the men and women still breathing life into the mythical figure of the cowboy. David’s passion for preserving the traditions and beliefs of the country’s honest, hardworking cowboys and cowgirls gradually earned him their respect. With that respect came an open invitation to share in their lives, and the great responsibility to honor their trust.

David is one of the accomplished master photographers in Canon’s “Explorers of Light” education and inspiration program and for four years has been recognized by the editors of True West magazine as the “Best Living Photographer of the West. The distinguished award is given each year as part of the magazine’s “Best of the West” issue. David R. Stoecklein resides in Idaho with his wife, Mary, and their three sons, Drew, Taylor, and Colby, where they split their time between their home in Sun Valley and their ranch in Mackay.

Philanthropy The Singita School of Cooking community project was launched in 2007 by the Singita Sweni head chef at the time, with the support of one of his sous chefs. They created a chef-training concept focused on unemployed young people from the local communities. The project has been extremely successful and with over 300 young people interviewed each year, only 8 candidates are accepted. As vocational skills training is very much lacking within rural communities in South Africa, Singita and the community place great value on this particular project. The training provides skills that will not only impact a student’s future but also that of their dependents and communities. MOZAMBIQUE

breathtaking views of the Himalayas and the sight of tussling tigers in teak jungles, Micato’s India is a magical land. The evocative northern hill stations of Mashobra and Simla – once hideaways of Colonial-era British officers and their families – offer “Jewel in the Crown” luxury, while Southern India’s lush shores beckon with dreamy houseboats on serene backwaters. Micato’s roots in India run deep, and the paradisiacal euphoria that they offer here is therefore unparalleled.

Exclusive Arrangements Imagine the Indian Police Marching Band welcoming your arrival to town. As evening falls, relax poolside and watch a private performance of classical Indian dances, with the Taj Mahal a shimmering, surrealistic backdrop. Travelers visit the splendid highlights and secret treasures of each city, the experience always enriched with the Micato difference … perhaps traveling by vintage car one day, or with a former ambassador as their private guide the next. Traditional curries are so much more delectable when made in a cooking class led by a popular Indian actress in her home. Touring villages and marketplaces by rickshaw or visiting landmarks on elephant back is always preferable to a motor vehicle. In Rajasthan, the Micato reputation of treating guests like family is in full force, as old-world royalty welcome Micato travelers into their palace, and home, with gin fizzes and dinner. As they reminisce about old India, guests are spellbound.

Accommodations Oberoi Amarvilas, Taj Rambagh Palace, Ananda, The Imperial — the names alone evoke images of stunning grandeur, and yet they scarcely do justice to the sublime levels of luxury travelers experience here. With Micato India, guests receive the choicest room selection, service well beyond the call of duty, and myriad frills and extra comforts. In renowned palace hotels, stroll the terraced lawns, and stop for tea in ornate pavilions that hark back to the era of emperors; in a hidden jewel of a hotel, frequented by those in the know, wake in your antique four-poster bed to the sound of birds chirping in the nearby banyan trees, and step out on your terrace for an unparalleled view. Wherever you stay with Micato, the experience is bound to astonish and delight.
