About Us

Land & Marine Publications is a UK-based publishing company with a strong presence in the East African market, where over 90% of our work originates. Since 1992, we’ve produced more than 20 high-quality titles annually, specialising in bespoke marketing materials for the airline and tourism sectors. These include branded magazines, travel guides, and other custom publications.

We're a small, friendly team of experienced editors, designers, sales professionals, and production staff who manage the entire publishing process in-house. Our collaborative approach ensures every project is impactful, engaging, and beautifully designed.

Since launching our first in-flight magazine in 2010, we've grown to become the leading provider of premium in-flight titles across East Africa. We work with some of the region’s most respected brands, delivering editorial and design that inspire, inform, and celebrate travel.
