Unrivalled wildlife, ancient deserts, and powerful history. Chase the horizon across the savanna, from the Great Rift Valley to the Southern Cape.
We scored a 12-day cruise - Cape Town to Mauritius - for just $550! Trading a tent for the Norwegian Dawn, we explored Mossel Bay, survived port chaos in Madagascar to see lemurs (and an ancient tortoise), and snorkeled Réunion's volcanic waters. It was the perfect break before hitting Sri Lanka.
30 days, 4 countries, 1 truck! Join us for the ultimate overland safari from Cape Town. We share our treks across the Namib Dunes, the wild Okavango Delta, rhino tracking on foot, and our visit to the inspiring Black Mambas anti-poaching unit.
An extensive travelogue of our 21-day cruise from Lisbon to Cape Town. Highlights include the volcanic Canary Islands, the haunting history of Gorée Island (Senegal), the jungle beauty of São Tomé, and the desert landscapes of Walvis Bay (Namibia)
After 24 days in Madagascar, Mauritius was our recovery stop! We share tips on navigating the island (driving on the left!), finding public beaches, the strange Seven Coloured Earth, and why we needed a break from needing a break. Oh, and watch out for the territorial fish jerks!
Our detailed 24-day Madagascar Trip Report! We hiked the razor-sharp limestone of Big Tsingy with harnesses, cruised the Tsiribihina River, saw 21 lemur species (including the Indri!), and watched sunset at the Avenue of the Baobabs. Find out what we ate and why Tojo was the best guide!
A 23-day cruise from Genoa to Mauritius! We sailed through the Suez Canal, snorkelled the Red Sea, and visited the high-cost islands of Seychelles and Réunion. We share our experience with Costa Cruises, the pirate protocols, and why this budget cruise was the perfect way to get to Madagascar.
One year, one world! Our reflection on circling the globe, starting with Kilimanjaro and safari in Africa, navigating the ancient chaos of India, trekking in Nepal, cruising the Adriatic, exploring the deserts of Morocco, and sailing the icebergs of Antarctica.
Our Egypt adventure: Exploring the Pyramids of Giza, descending into King Tut's Tomb and the Valley of the Kings, admiring Abu Simbel, visiting the Cairo Museum, and two nights sailing the Nile by Felucca. Concluded with a few days relaxing by the Red Sea and the long journey to Argentina.
Our complete 3-week Morocco journey through chaos and colour. Highlights include: navigating the Fez medina, camel trekking in the Sahara Desert (Merzouga), relaxing in the blue city of Chefchaouen, hiking the Dades Gorge, and eating fresh seafood in coastal Essaouira.
Our East Africa finale: Nairobi's 'Nairobbery' streets (and a scary taxi mix-up!) gave way to the conservation success of Nakuru National Park, where we finally tracked rhinos and thousands of baboons. From Kilimanjaro's high peaks to conservation victories—we wrap up a chaotic, incredible month.
