Africa

Amusing Close Encounters on African Safaris

Having travelled to many places in my travel career, the law of averages says that this would produce interesting, unusual, and amusing incidents. Two that stand out in my mind involve being on safari in Africa.  Tanzania is one of the best countries to enjoy the real safari experience as it is teeming with every […]

Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve - Elephants at Sunset Safari

The Bliss of a Day on Safari in Africa

There’s a faint knock on the door and a soft voice calling your name. For a second you forget where you are, but as you slowly open your eyes, the early morning sounds of the bush remind you that you are in your own part of heaven. “Good morning, this is your wakeup call. I […]

The Globetrotting Diaries: First Time’s the Charm at Sabi Sabi

Firstly, I feel like I need to give some background info. This was my first time to Africa. It had been on my to do list for a long time and given the opportunity to extend after the Indaba Tourism Conference in April, we jumped at the chance. The itinerary was amazing and I wanted […]

Five Places to Escape the Crowd in Egypt

Egypt is one of those destinations that captures our imaginations at an early age and doesn’t let go. From images of towering pyramids, to ancient temples on the banks of the Nile, animal-headed renderings of gods, and the mighty pharaohs who served them—or aspired to join them, few histories on earth are as vivid and […]

The Globetrotting Diaries: Floating on the Dead Sea in Israel

In 2012, I had a wonderful opportunity to travel to Israel. One of the do-not-miss things in this beautiful country is to visit, and float in, the Dead Sea. Because of where it is located in the country, the tours usually start early leaving Jerusalem. The first stop is to the fortress of Masada and […]

The Globetrotting Diaries: An Angry Momma Hippo on the Zambezi

I was in Zambia on my first African FAM with Goway and I thought I had won the jackpot. Unbeknownst to me at this stage, this would become one of many amazing trips I have had the honour of being sent on by working for Goway. Our day started out as the sun was just coming […]

The Globetrotting Diaries: Climbing Big Daddy in Namibia

One of my most recent favourite travel experiences was on my last trip to Southern Africa, specifically Namibia, in 2018. It was my first time visiting the country, and after a late arrival by plane from Johannesburg and a brief overnight in the capital city, Windhoek, I was on my way to an amazing experience. […]

The Globetrotting Diaries: The Birds and the Bees (and the Lions) in Kenya

“Lions and birds and bees, oh my!” My wife, daughter and I travelled to Kenya on a private safari years ago when my daughter was just 10 years old, a great age to let a child experience Africa. On a game drive one day, we came upon two courting lions in a savannah within the […]

The Globetrotting Diaries: An Experience That Touched the Soul in the Seychelles

There are travel experiences and then there are travel experiences that touch your soul. One of these happened several years ago when I was part of a FAM trip to the Seychelles, home of the Coco De Mer. There were so many amazing experiences on this trip including a business class experience on one of […]

Church of St George_Lalibela, Ethiopia

The Globetrotting Diaries: The Stone-Hewn Churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia

The moment I saw it, I wondered how I could have missed it for so long. Lalibela, Ethiopia should have been at the top of my bucket list! It’s not just because Lalibela is the holiest city of Ethiopia, or as Lonely Planet calls it “history and mystery frozen in stone.” At 8000 feet, on […]
