Plan Your Trip to Africa

Travel Insurance: We don’t travel without travel insurance and neither should you. You never know what can happen while traveling so it’s best to be prepared.

Travel Waterbottle: When we’re uncertain about the water supply we use our Grayl Purifier. It’s come in exceptionally handy around Africa.

Camera Gear: Chances are you’ll want a camera for your trip to Africa. We love the Sony RX100V for a pocket-size camera and the Fujifilm XT-4 for a professional camera. Check out our favorite cameras for Africa.

Safari Clothes: Lightweight, beige, and moisture-wicking clothing are great for traveling Africa. See our favorite safari clothing here.

Safari Hat: A good hat is both stylish and functional.

Safari Bag: A durable bag is ideal for traveling around Africa.

Safari Pants: We recommend neutral-colored pants as they’re great at hiding dirt and can match most shirt colors.

Safari Shirt: Shirts like these are lightweight and keep the bugs away!

Boots: While you don’t need to wear sturdy shoes every day, at least one pair of safari boots will make your trip nicer!

Travel Adapter: You’ll need a special travel adapter for traveling Africa. Get one before you get there so you don’t pay a premium on the ground.

The Under-20 Olympic ice hockey team of Jamaica defeated the Nova Scotia All-Stars with a score of 5-1 in an exhibition game at the Dartmouth Sportsplex in Dartmouth, Canada. Jamaica’s team is the first from the Caribbean to become associate members of the International Ice Hockey Federation. Players on the team, which is preparing for competition at the Winter Olympics, are from the United States and Canada, but all have Jamaican heritage. The players themselves have significant ice hockey experience, having played the game their entire lives. Many play in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Recently, the team played against a competitor team comprising local players and community leaders of various backgrounds from the Halifax area. Graieme Townshead, a former player with the Boston Bruins, was born in Kingston. He is hoping the national team will make it to the Winter Olympics. Paul Palmeter of CBC says other events are scheduled for the Jamaican team, including trips to the Black Cultural Center for Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame. The exhibition games are designed to gain participation in the sport by players from diverse backgrounds. The government of Nova Scotia provided $50,000 from the Nova Scotia 150 Forward Fund for the staging of the games.

Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market

For the one-stop shopping
Housed in a bright building of floor-to-ceiling windows on Halifax’s waterfront, the farmers’ market is a bustling hub of farmers, butchers, bakers and artisans. Taste the award-winning aged Gouda from That Dutchman’s Cheese Farm and vintage wine from one of Nova Scotia’s vineyards. Lunch from one of the many food stalls – the steamed buns at Chenpapa come highly recommended – is best enjoyed on the rooftop patio. The market is open daily year-round (except on Mondays), but many vendors are only there on Saturdays.
