The ultimate guide for independent travellers seeking inspiration, advice and adventures beyond their wildest dreams
After an extremely comfortable nights sleep, we arose bright and early, excited to see what another day at Cheetah Plains would bring.

My travelling journey started in 2012, when I was barely 19 years old. Seven years later, I find myself closer to thirty than twenty (mildly terrifying) and even though seven years may not sound like a lot, in that time, I have achieved so much.
