Yet another spectacular sunrise in Sri Lanka. Every day is special on this paradise isle with so much variety, packed into one tiny island. We are in Ella today, high above the clouds at the adventure capital of Sri Lanka.
Enjoying high tea at the wonderful Grand Hotel, Nuwara Eliya. What a treat! ❤️
Waking up at Ceylon Tea Trails can be something very special and a must do on a visit to Sri Lanka.
What a lovely place Mawella beach is, hardly anyone around. It’s only a 40 minute flight from Colombo or a 2.30 drive from the country’s main airport. Difficult to find a better bay in the whole of Sri Lanka.

Setting off on an early morning game drive, in search of a Mara river crossing!
Enjoying an African sunset with the hippos of Lake Naivasha. Fabulous place to stop for a night, either on the way to or driving back from the Mara.
It is all about the Cheetahs & reticulated giraffes in Samburu today! A National park with a fewer jeeps and a lot of reward, during the peak safari season.
Meeting the friendly Giraffes and getting to feed them can be the perfect way to start your family adventure in Kenya. The Giraffe Manor is educational for both the young and the seasoned safari goer.
