When deciding where to go for my big trip in 2023, I decided that I would love to finally visit the Southern Hemisphere. I had a few different places in mind, but settled on visiting Southern Africa as there were so many places there on my bucket list. The main things I wanted to see…
The first thing I did after arriving in Livingstone was visit Mosi oa Tunya national park to go on a Rhino walk. Mosi oa Tunya is the only place in Zambia to have Southern White Rhinos, and the park is quite small so you are almost guaranteed a sighting when you visit. I was lucky…
After booking my G Adventures tour that started in Victoria Falls, I wanted to come a few days early to get some more time at the falls. Since Zambia is right there, on the other side of a bridge, I couldn’t pass up the chance to visit another country so decided to fly into Zambia…
White water rafting at Victoria Falls was definitely one activity at the top of my list that I wanted to do while I was in Livingstone. I had perfect timing, too, as the day I went the water had got low enough that we could start slightly further upstream. You can go white water rafting…
I love museums, especially ones with a focus on history, so naturally when looking up things to do in Sousse the Sousse Archaeological Museum made it to the top of my list. Not only is the museum full of great artefacts, but the building itself is an 11th century Kasbah so it’s worth visiting just…
After an adventurous day white water rafting at Victoria Falls, it was time to relax in the evening with a lovely sunset cruise on the Zambezi river. Like the white water rafting, this activity can be done on both the Zambian and Zimbabwean side of the Zambezi. It’s the exact same river, so again it…
After a fantastic two nights at Etosha, it was time to start making our way South. Instead of heading straight to Swakopmund, we instead spent one night at Spitzkoppe to break up the journey. We arrived early in the afternoon giving us plenty of time to explore the fantastic landscape, with a relaxed start the…
Etosha national park in Namibia is a huge, 22,270 km2 national park containing hundreds of different species of animals. It definitely should not be missed when visiting Namibia, and although I only spent two nights at Etosha you could easily spend a lot longer there! The park is named after the Etosha salt pan which covers…
Whenever I travel somewhere, I always love to read books set in the places I am visiting. Creating my reading list was one of my favourite parts of the planning process for my trip to Egypt. These are just some of my recommendations for books to read before visiting Egypt. Books I Read: Death on…
One of the best things about my trip to Egypt was the chance to try so many new dishes, and so I’ve made a list of some of my favourite Egyptian food you must try when you visit. I visited during Ramadan so I didn’t have as many opportunities to try things like Egyptian street…
