Dream trips to plan for the future – Part 1

April 29th, 2020Emma Nelson0 Comments

The Okavango Delta in Botswana from above

Far from the sporadically placed towns of Botswana’s wild northern grasslands lies the country’s most famous natural feature - the Okavango Delta. Accessible only by off-road vehicle via gnarled dirt tracks that weave between the feral foliage of the nation’s game reserves, it is quite literally off the beaten track. Upon approaching the extensive waterway, as your truck and the unkept paths whisk forcefully you from side to...

Victoria Falls – My Dramatic Introduction to Africa

April 8th, 2020Archie Fiddes0 Comments

As I took my first step off the plane in Livingstone, the cooling air con of the cabin was decimated by a wave of immense heat that baked the tarmac of the diminutive landing strip and rippled the horizon. An appropriate welcome to the hottest continent on the planet. Bleary eyed from a nap made restless by my immeasurable excitement during the flight, I passed through customs, gathered my luggage and headed for the tiny airport’s exit. As soon as I passed...

Patagonia has an unforgiving climate, and I read that the weather changes daily (I can confirm - it does!), not to mention...
