The ultimate guide for independent travellers seeking inspiration, advice and adventures beyond their wildest dreams
Our first day in the Mara had included lions, wildebeest, giraffes and a truly phenomenal sunset – so it was going to take a lot for day two to live up to the incredibly high standards that Cottars had set for us. We awoke early to the sounds of the jungle. Birds sang and the […]

Looking back, it amazes me to think about how drastically different each of my safari experiences were during my time in Africa. We went on three safaris – one in South Africa, one in Tanzania and one in Kenya – and each one was unlike any of the others. Madikwe (SA) had been dry, arid […]

My time in Moheli ended up being completely different to what I had initially planned. I had expected to snorkel and swim, and I had also booked us in for a ‘beginners guided dive’ to give us a taste of the scuba diving experience. I had no idea that I would leave Moheli with my […]
