Pack a universal power bank with a built-in solar charger! ☀️🔋

Africa’s diverse landscapes and remote areas can make charging devices a challenge, especially on safaris or trekking in national parks. A solar-powered power bank ensures that your phone, camera, or GPS stays charged even when you're off the grid, allowing you to capture stunning wildlife moments and stay connected in emergency situations.

It’s one of my top travel essentials when travelling to Africa, but equally it is a great idea for trips to anywhere in the world.

Put your hands up if you love a sunset 🤲

I didn’t have the best camera when I lived in Namibia, in fact, all these photos were taken from my phone. But I cherish these pictures as it reminds me everyday how lucky I was to be able to experience the sunsetting daily.

Do you live in a gorgeous place where you can see the sunset every day? Let me know in the comments.

I recently had the pleasure of booking Ecca Lodge for one of my clients. The lodge is perfect for those looking for an authentic and intimate experience in the South African bush.

Ecca Lodge is located in the heart of the Kwandwe Private Reserve, in the malaria-free Eastern Cape, overlooking a valley, the lodge offers breath-taking views onto an escarpment of shale cliffs. A highlight of the main guest area is a wooden viewing deck that showcases the exceptional views.

With only 6 suites, 3 of which are dedicated to families, the lodge is intimate and relaxed with decor inspired by the natural textures of the African bush. The double suites can accommodate 2 adults each and the family suites accommodate 2 adults and 2 children (under 16 yrs on day beds in the lounge). Family suites also include a private vehicle and ranger. All rooms have private plunge pools and outdoor showers to enhance the connection with nature.

There is so much you can do here, all guests at Ecca can enjoy twice daily game drives, nature walks and big game walking safaris. At the lodge, The Den is ideally equipped to keep little hands busy for hours and a shared lodge pool provides the perfect place for a communal splash.

"Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller." - Ibn Battuta

This quote really hits home for me. I mean, how many times have we all stood in awe, completely lost for words, in front of a breathtaking landscape or a stunning piece of architecture?

And then, before you know it, you're back home, telling friends and family all the tales of your adventures (and probably showing them about a million photos on your phone 📸).

It's one of the reasons I absolutely LOVE what I do. I get to help create those speechless moments and storytelling opportunities for my clients every single day.

Whether it's watching the sunrise over the Namib Desert, hearing the thunderous roar of Victoria Falls, or witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti, Africa has this amazing way of leaving us in awe and then inspiring us to share our experiences.

So, what's your story? What travel moment left you speechless? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!

And if you're itching to create some new stories of your own, you know where to find me. Let's craft an adventure that'll leave you lost for words.

🌈 Nature's Ultimate Light Show: Victoria Falls 💦

Did you know that the local name for Victoria Falls is "Mosi-oa-Tunya," meaning "The Smoke That Thunders"? One look at this photo and you'll understand why!

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀
It's the world's largest sheet of falling water, spanning 1.7km wide and dropping 108m
In full flood, over 500 million litres of water plummet over the edge... every minute! 🤯
The spray can rise 400m and be seen from 50km away

But here's the real magic: visit during a full moon and you might witness a 'moonbow' - a lunar rainbow created by the light of the moon in the falls' spray. Talk about a bucket list experience!

Located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls isn't just about the water. It's a hub for adrenaline junkies (bungee jumping, anyone?), wildlife enthusiasts, and those seeking to soak in the raw beauty of Africa.

Have you been to Victoria Falls? Or is it on your travel wish list? Share your experiences or dreams below! 👇

𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝘁𝗶𝗽: The best time to visit for the fullest flow is between February and May, but every season offers its own unique charm.

Travel Tip Tuesday

Pack a universal power bank with a built-in solar charger! ☀️🔋 Africa’s diverse landscapes and remote areas can make charging devices a challenge, especially on safaris or trekking in national parks. A solar-powered power bank ensures that your phone, camera, or GPS stays charged even when you're off the grid, allowing you to capture stunning wildlife moments and stay connected in emergency situations. It’s one of my top travel essentials when travelling to Africa, but equally it is a great idea for trips to anywhere in the world. #traveltiptuesday #traveltips #travel
