  • Advice for Scuba Diving in Southern Africa

    Having spent the last year training to Scuba dive with BSAC in the chilly waters of the UK coast (and the odd quarry or two), I am looking forward to dipping my fins into warmer waters, and exploring Southern Africa from a new angle, during my next visit. I’ve been researching some of the best […]

  • 7 animals you’ll probably drive straight past on safari

    I often find that when people head off on safari they are very fixated on just spotting the ‘Big Five’ (Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo). Whilst there is no denying that these five species are joy to witness in the wild, don’t forget to keep a look out – and get excited – for […]
  • 5 Lesser Known Southern African National Parks

    Everyone knows that Southern Africa is blessed with amazing wildlife and scenery, and whilst the names of Kruger, Chobe and Etosha are likely to spring to mind as some of the best spots to head for safari, what about a few of the lesser known parks?

25th September 201725th September 2017 jessica_plumb Leave a comment Tanzania

Tanzania is undoubtedly one of Africa’s ultimate safari destinations. Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start, as there are so many ‘must-visit’ sites! We spent around four weeks exploring Tanzania in June, and our good friend Matt, joined us for two weeks whilst we visited Tanzania’s North-East. Primarily, this included: the North […]

Advice and Tips for Driving in Zimbabwe

8th September 2017 jessica_plumb Leave a comment Zimbabwe

We approached the Zimbabwe border with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Excitement because it was an opportunity to explore a new country for a few weeks, and nerves because we had read of so many people having negative experiences on the road. Before crossing the border we checked and double checked Zimbabwe’s road rules, […]

Golden Gate Highlands National Park

7th April 20178th September 2017 jessica_plumb Leave a comment South Africa

Nestled in the Maluti Mountains in South Africa’s Free State, the Golden Gate Highlands National Park is well worth a visit. Whilst the park does not boast the big five, it is home to blesbok, eland, zebra, jackal and baboon. However, the main draw of Golden Gate is the spectacular scenery, with its ‘golden’ sandstone […]

Travel in the little Kingdom of Swaziland

11th March 20178th September 2017 jessica_plumb Leave a comment Swaziland

A small country filled with big hearts and even bigger smiles, Swaziland, is well worth a visit in its own right and not just as a pit stop en-route to Kruger or Maputo. Sandwiched between South Africa and Mozambique, Swaziland is one of the smallest countries south of the equator, but what it lacks in […]

Camdeboo National Park

13th February 20178th September 2017 jessica_plumb Leave a comment South Africa

Eastern Cape’s Camdeboo National Park, is a short and hassle-free drive from Mountain Zebra National Park, so it is easy to combine these two areas, over a few days. The Karoo landscape is stunning, and while you won’t see much game in Camdeboo, I would definitely recommend spending a couple of days exploring and relaxing. […]
