A West African Border

Through the Sahara

Allen stops the truck amidst a billowing cloud of red dust. In Australia we call it; bull dust. Fine like talcum powder and it gets in everywhere; in the truck, in your clothes and in your ears, nose and mouth. It’s hot, intensely hot, unbelievably hot, 43C-45C and has been for weeks.

Companies that pay it forward – why you should choose to be a conscious traveller

August 18, 2018 by Rosemary

Tourism can be both a blessing and a curse. As visitors, we are drawn to pristine environments populated by friendly locals who are falling over themselves to welcome us into their world. Adverts and articles paint a picture of perfection and convince us that somehow we’re being short changed if we accept anything less. Energy-guzzling air conditioning, food that’s travelled more miles than we have and towels that see more … [Read more...]

Women Traveling to Tanzania

May 20, 2018 by Rosemary

In the South East of Africa, within the region of the African Great Lakes, lies Tanzania. Aside from being pointed by many historians as the cradle of humanity, the country is mostly known for its paradisiacal beaches, captivating cultures, incredible wildlife, and iconic sites such as Mount Kilimanjaro or the Ngorongoro Crater. Perhaps due to these very reasons, this particular region of Africa is also increasingly popular among adventurous … [Read more...]

West Coast of Africa

October 9, 2017 by Rosemary

The West Coast of Africa is a place that I have dreamed of travelling in for a ‘lifetime’…but the opportunity never presented itself and I was always busy ‘doing’ other things.

As my overlander travelling partner, love of my life and treasured … [Read more...]
