Hello, sun tans and sunburn! It’s time for an unforgettable season of adventure and attractions by exploring at least one of these ten perfect holiday destinations during the summer.

Although this may be a misguided statement, I couldn’t say there is much of a difference between Malindi and Watamu. Both are stunning coastal towns in Kenya, and I would compare them to fraternal twins. Despite this, I think individual trips to these destinations are not unwarranted. If you are searching for raw beauty, Swahili-inspired architecture …
The beautiful attractions in Watamu make it a beautiful, underrated location where you combine archaeological sites dating back hundreds of years with lush forests home to elephants, sandy beaches and coral gardens. The small but beautiful coastal town is situated just over 100km north of Mombasa, and less than 30 minutes from Malindi, featuring a shoreline of wonder and …

Whether with family or through school trips, I found myself surrounded by wildlife at least once a year. In fact, it would be safe to say that going to national parks is to Kenyans is what Disneyland …
Let’s talk about my home! It’s time get the perfect local guide to Nairobi from someone who lived there for 18 years. Kenya is special. It is one of the most dynamic destinations in Africa, and its capital city, Nairobi – a place often overshadowed by the country’s beautiful beaches and fascinating national parks – …
Every year, as we emerge from a period of hibernation (whether you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere), spring brings promise of warmth and the ever-longing beauty of flourishing nature. Spring travellers are often enthralled by nature, exploring the world in search of flowers, forests, fields and fun because it provides the opportunity to …
Nearly a decade since my visit, this beautiful African archipelago has remained one of my favourite travel destinations and so, I am incredibly excited to share with you some of top-rated attractions in Seychelles.
