The Lamp (aka 'The Clan') quickly became my favourite structure in the dessert. Not only was it in prime position for watching the sunset it seemed to stand out dramatically amongst the rest of the dessert scape. I watched an incredible sunset from the Lamp with five friends on one of the first nights - a silver - mirror - van pulled up started playing some tunes as the sun disappeared in the distance - rapidly attracting a small crowd. We all danced, and the crowd called out

Where do I begin... This was the most physically challenging trek I've done to date, I think possibly due to me being 5ft'4", having an 18kg back pack, it being 30+ degrees and the constant ascents and descents. However, I loved every minute of it and when we crossed the end, I just wanted to do it all over again. I can't describe what a special and epic trail this is, and if you get the opportunity to do it - then do it without hesitation! The absolute beautiful thing about

I have not really scratched the surface of this unique and vibrant city, but the short time I spent there - I felt the buzzy and bustling atmosphere of the place surrounding me. Cape Town is a port city on South Africa’s southwest coast, on a peninsula beneath the strikingly beautiful Table Mountain. I predominantly stayed in Stellenbosch whilst in the South West of SA so dipped in and out of Cape town in my free time as it was only a short drive away from the Stellies winela

I totally fell in love with this place pretty much as soon as I landed in Cape Town International and I saw the mountains leading the way towards Stellenbosch.

Pretoria. Known as 'The Jacaranda City' due to the thousands of striking Jacaranda trees. If you visit in late September - early October you will have the pleasure of seeing these stunning trees in flower - adding splashes of colour to every corner of the city. I have visited the inland city of Pretoria 3 times over the last few years as my cousin married a dashing South African man from there, and after marrying ended up emigrating. This city is in the Northern part of South

So my trip to Kruger National Park was quite a last minute one with family and friends - and I really had no idea what to expect. On arrival I got out the car and walked out near to some elephants completely unaware this is NOT what you should do whilst on safari. Around wild animals...I was THAT tourist that got tutted at. I had never been 'on safari' and wasn't really sure what you are supposed to pack. Some sites have pools, some don't, but mainly you will be in a car or a
