The Victoria Falls are one of the great natural wonders of the world and justifiably so. At peak flow a gigantic curtain of water plunges 100m into a boiling chasm below, stretching a mile in length and making the single largest sheet of water in the world. It is little wonder then that the falls

From the great pyramids of Giza in the north to the vibrant city of Cape Town, nestled below majestic Table Mountain, in the south, Africa is a continent awash with bucket list destinations.

By Warwick Blow on Aug 18, 2020 in Africa, Food and Drink, Regions, South Africa, Travel Miscellany

Many travellers returning from a trip to South Africa can’t stop raving about the delicious food they ate while there. Yet, strangely enough, South Africa doesn’t jump to mind when talking about gastronomic travel, but it really, really should! We have gone in search, with empty tummies and suitably clad with elasticated waste bands, of

Oceanfront in Cape Town

By Warwick Blow on Jul 16, 2020 in Accommodation, Africa, Hotels, Regions, South Africa

There is no denying that Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In no small part thanks to her position, languishing on the shores of the southern Atlantic. From the heart of the city to the far reaches of the Cape Peninsula rugged mountain backdrops are hemmed in by the

By Warwick Blow on Jun 09, 2020 in Accommodation, Africa, Camping, Namibia, Regions, Resorts

In the last few months new phrases have entered the English language and in a short space of time have come to feel familiar. One phrase, perhaps more than any other, stands out, and that is social distancing. We have all been learning how to safely keep our distance from one and other and staying

By Warwick Blow on May 10, 2020 in Adventure Travel, Africa, Botswana, Featured, Regions, South Africa, Speciality Travel, Zambia, Zimbabwe

If you ask first-time safari-goers what they are most looking forward to seeing in the wild, their answers are inevitably very similar. Lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos and “if we are lucky, the elusive leopard”. Frankly, who can argue with that. It’s like asking someone on their first trip to France what they want to

“Goooooooood morning Vietnam! It’s 0600 hours. What does the “O” stand for? O my God, it’s early!” – those immortal words of Robin Williams in the film Good Morning Vietnam ring true for legions of safari goers every day. At silly o’clock in the morning when your guide lightly knocks on your door offering a

5 top tables under the African stars

By Warwick Blow on Mar 16, 2020 in Africa, Food and Drink, Mozambique, Namibia, Regions, South Africa, Travel Miscellany, Zambia

There can be few things in life more spellbinding than gazing at the Milky Way stretch endlessly out into the inky black of the African night sky. In the northern hemisphere we seldom get to experience anything like it. Away from the omnipresent light pollution of the north, Africa offers glittering night skies that will

Kruger's wild, Wild North

By Warwick Blow on Feb 13, 2020 in Adventure Travel, Africa, Regions, South Africa, Speciality Travel

The Kruger National Park is unquestionably one of the world’s greatest wildlife destinations. Guests from around the world home in on the park and surrounding reserves in the hopes of seeing Africa’s “Big 5” and more in their natural environment. Stretching some 360km from north to south, and covering an area roughly the size of

In praise of the mighty Zambezi!

By Warwick Blow on Jan 14, 2020 in Accommodation, Adventure Travel, Africa, Leisure Travel, Regions, Resorts, Speciality Travel, Zambia, Zimbabwe

The great Zambezi River (literally meaning “Great River” in the local Tonga language) is the very lifeline of central-southern Africa, a place of legend, adventure and breath-taking beauty. Rising in a remote corner of Zambia before flowing through Angola and turning back to form the natural boundary between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Zambezi is beguiling,
