    Let me start off by saying that animal portraiture is a lot harder than it looks. We knew this from the many hours we spent 'dog stalking' back home at some of  Johannesburg's many parks. Anyone remember @PixelPaws on Instagram? Yes, that was our first 'shot' at moving-target photography. We literally have thousands of dog portraits on our hard drive, so we should look at sharing more of those...

    Our motto and motivation is to “collect experiences, not things”. Whilst on our journey, we’re aiming to spend our time and money on spectacular experiences, to be left with incredible learnings and memories, not tangible objects. This way, we’re sure to keep our lives light without additional luggage, but also be the change we want to see in the world. Our next featured experience is the Topdeck Travel tour, East African Explorer. This was our third taste of group travel, so one could say we are slowly growing out of the 'Group-Travel Novice' status, after the 17-day European excursion late last year, and now this trip – something a little closer to home, and something a little more adventurous.

This way, we’re sure to keep our lives light without additional luggage, but also be the change we want to see in the world. Our next featured experience is a Safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.   Whether you're knowledgeable about African wildlife or not, chances are you've heard about the mighty Serengeti. *cue The Lion King theme song* It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the world's animal kingdom, and the largest national park in Tanzania. It's home to thousands of animal and bird species, and is probably most...

    Namibia / 03.05.2016

    There's countries you know you need to visit before you die, because, well, half the world has been there and you've seen the iconic photographs and TV shows (do people still watch TV?!). Italy, France, USA, and Japan come to mind. Then there's countries that not too many have discovered, and really raved about. Sure tourism is high almost everywhere, but some countries don't get enough limelight. Well, Namibia is, in our opinion, one of those sensational gems that really could use some more attention (especially because we've had "Walk through the Namib desert" on a road trip in Namibia on our Wanderlist since the beginning). And now here we are, post road-trip-in-Namibia, still in shock and in awe of this...

    Different from our usual just-the-two-of-us trips, we recently took a Topdeck Travel tour, for a group-travel experience of a lifetime. 21 days, 4 countries, 14 sleeping destinations, and a collection of 14 strangers who have proven that the best part of travel is the people you meet along the way. The next stop on our East African Explorer tour was the beautiful island of Zanzibar. If you wanted to explore a place that offered you white sand beaches, turquoise waters, exotic food (mostly vegan, so double yay from me), and a city full of history and culture, then you are reading the perfect blog post. The island of Zanzibar is, quite honestly, one of the most unique places we've ever visited. With its Arab and East African...

The next country on our East African Explorer tour was Malawi. Known as 'the warm heart of Africa', Malawi has been on my must-see-one-day-because-my-friend-recommended-it list for over a decade (my talented friend Ollie grew up in Malawi, so naturally I'd have to see where he came from). And yes, it is as spectacular and special as he described. Let's discuss the famous lake for a second. Lake Malawi is the third largest and second...

    Our motto and motivation is to “collect experiences, not things”. Whilst on our journey, we’re aiming to spend our time and money on spectacular experiences, to be left with incredible learnings and memories, not tangible objects. This way, we’re sure to keep our lives light without additional luggage, but also be the change we want to see in the world. Our next featured experience is a South Luangwa National Park Safari in Zambia. During our recent African adventure with our friends from Topdeck Travel, we were fortunate enough to visit Zambia's southern most national park, South Luangwa National Park, to spend two magical nights sleeping unfenced beside hippos (who we heard), baboons (who we spotted), and lions (whose marks we saw only a...

    Different from our usual just-the-two-of-us trips, we recently took a Topdeck Travel tour, for a group-travel experience of a lifetime. 21 days, 4 countries, 14 sleeping destinations, and a collection of 14 strangers who have proven that the best part of travel is the people you meet along the way. The first country on our East African Explorer tour was Zambia. Thick, luscious, green fields for miles; tropical and humid temperatures; friendly people with lovely faces. Our first impressions of Zambia immediately gear towards the outdoors - the beautiful, beautiful outdoors; and the people, whose welcoming nature made the first stop on our Topdeck trip a really special one. We (naturally) started our Zambian adventure in Livingstone, with a visit to Victoria Falls -...

    Cape Town holds a very special place in my heart. For some reason (and I think I know the reason now, since my good friend Ollie explained the theory of Earth chakras and vortexes, to us the other day ) I have always felt calm and at peace when in Cape Town. It's bizarre, especially because, of the seven trips I've done to Cape Town, six have been for work, so memories of calmness and tranquility shouldn't be associated with this city, yet somehow there's an energy here that simply leaves me feeling amazing. This city is truly world-class in terms of activities, things to see and do, and of course for photography and videography, so we thought we'd take this...

Our next featured experience is a visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town. As I'm sure you've gathered, we LOVE animals; furry ones, fluffy ones, slippery ones, and ones that can imitate other ones. I think my childhood dream (a long, long time ago) was to become a marine biologist...
