TRAVELOGUES
Travel stories from our consultants and guests as they wander around the continent...
Jamala Game Lodge - Pulse Africa Guest |
|
|
We were the only two people in the Jamala resort, with 13 staff! The resort is fabulous. The room is really 5 star, the food and everything is great. | |
Garonga - Robyn Tobias |
|
|
I had not been for many years and it was wonderful to see how the property has grown up without losing any of the essence of what owner Bernie Smith set out to create. It is the same – only better.
The camp is built on a bend in the river with views up and down river from the rooms and the main area. The public area is on the curve with the most fabulous views in either direction.

Ride and Walk Botswana |
|
|
This fabulous five-night horse-riding safari encompasses some of Botswana wildest and most breathtaking landscape around the Selinda spillway. The reserve is unusual in its clear definition between floodplains and permanently dry areas, making it uniquely suited to both riding and walking safaris. It is up to you whether you wish to spend your whole safari on a horse or on foot, or to mix the two. | |
Mount Sinai And St Catherine's Monastery - Nicci Lenferna |
|
|
I guess, at some stage, most of us expect to tick Egypt off the list of “travel destinations” worth a visit. After all, it is one of the most visited countries in the world. The ancient land of pyramids and temples, Nile cruises and Arab markets most certainly tossed up a number of surprises. Notably the warm and engaging people with a great sense of humour, delicious food of a wide variety, bustling and busy yet extremely safe but most surprising of all was the experience of climbing up Mount Sinai.

On location – Skeleton Coast Fly In Safari |
|
|
Namibia has been called “the land God made in anger”, a name and an idea that have been enhanced by many books and literature. Not so. This is a land of extraordinary variety and hauntingly desolate beauty where man and beast have over the millennia learned to coexist in a surprisingly supportive environment.

Zanzibar Spice - Teresa Levonian Cole, The London Evening Standard. |
|
|
It was wet when I arrived in Zanzibar. The sort of wet that turns the surrounding turquoise waters a murky shade of Brighton sea-blue. The short rains' I was told, had gone on longer than expected... Not that the mosquitoes were daunted by the unseasonable weather. So it was with particular attention that I listened to my guide, expound the merits of the Quinine tree. | |
