    Family Travel, South Africa / 14.05.2024

    Embarking on a family road trip through South Africa's captivating Waterberg region was an absolute delight, and something the frequent readers will know that we love to do. Tucked away in the heart of the Limpopo province, just a few hours from Johannesburg (our old home), this stunning landscape boasts rugged mountains, lush valleys, and an abundance of wildlife, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike. Our journey began by picking up our fully-equipped 4x4 camper from Drive South Africa (since we had to leave #TheBadger.🚐 back up north in Prague) With everything we needed for a week of wilderness camping – including two rooftop tents (just in case we needed separate accommodations after a road trip disagreement...

    South Africa / 24.06.2023

    Whether you are looking for lions in Kruger National Park, or cheetahs in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, there's something for everyone to enjoy on a South African safari. You can enjoy the beauty of the rolling hills and savannahs that spread out in front of you, while experiencing sunrise and sunset game drives with an expert guide showing you different species of animals along the way...

    Vietnam / 13.03.2017

    If you're like us (and not the majority, who will rent a motorbike and ride down Vietnam's coastline à la Top Gear style), you'll fly into what feels like Vietnam's Las Vegas (aka Danang aka boulevards of luxurious resorts), and take a quick 30-min taxi ride to the centre of Hoi An. Let me warn you - your image of Vietnam...

    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...

    Zambia / 07.04.2016

    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...

    Zambia / 29.03.2016

    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 -...
