Every so often I have a travel experience that sticks in my head. It’s an experience and a set of memories that makes me grin spontaneously on a random day, and makes a great meal time story. Ever get that? Rhino Safari Camp, situated on the South East shore of Lake Kariba, provided five of […]
Kariba is a town that has been deprived of tourism for a long time. For such a beautiful part of Zimbabwe, access has been a problem in the past. But since Air Zimbabwe reconnected Kariba with Harare – flying three times a week – the area has been revitalised, and is thriving once more, bringing […]
As I stared out over the Lake Kariba dam, I discovered Zimbabwe had something in common with my old home, Scotland. A serpent-like, mythical creature. We flew in a tiny plane from Harare to Kariba, and as we came into land, the sheer size of Lake Kariba became evident. Over 250km long, and up to […]
Victoria Falls is located in the very North West of Zimbabwe. For many visitors coming to Zimbabwe, it is the one stop they make on a tour that usually consists of South Africa, Zambia and other African countries. That, for me, is a big shame. I’ve learnt over the past week that Zimbabwe is incredibly […]
One of the things I love about travel – and especially travel blogging – is being able to change people’s opinions and perceptions of different destinations. When I was invited on a trip to Zimbabwe by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, it was a feeling of excitement that buzzed through my body. Having heard so much […]
As of yesterday, the 9th October, I am officially a Guinness World Record holder. Collectively, me and 352 other people broke the record for the world’s largest rum tasting event. If you’re going to break a Guinness World Record, you might as well do it in style with six different rums, right? Hell yes. As […]
White water rafting has always been on my bucket list. For one reason or another, I’d always missed the opportunities to do it in other countries. The day before we arrived into sulphur smelling Rotorua, I found out I had another chance to go rafting. I wasn’t going to miss out again. We met the […]
The Bay Of Islands is situated in the very North-West region of the North Island of New Zealand. It is one of the most popular destinations in the North Island, and for very good reason. The bus journey from Auckland to Paihia takes around 3 hours, so whilst munching my way though a packet of […]
The 27th August has become a tradition. A few weeks before National Burger Day, I will pick one of the top burger joints in London, make a reservation, and count down the days until the meat sees the mouth. Following the excellent burger at Bar Boulud last year, I chose Bread Street Kitchen for National […]
If you’re planning on visiting South America, and Bolivia in particular, I implore you to visit the Salar de Uyuni. It is a photographers playground. The Salar de Uyuni consists of over 4,000 square miles of salt flat, which started forming around 40,000 years ago when climate change dried up a prehistoric lake. The water […]
