It may seem slightly strange that the first post from Chefchaouen, the beautiful “Blue City” of Morocco should be about cats. However, it’s also the first post of the new year, so it seems smart it should be a ‘feel good’ post and what could be better than Chefchaouen cats; cute kitties from the blue streets. Read about Moroccan medinas …
“Stop, stop please” I excitedly requested of the driver, as we hurtled along the highway returning to Cape Town. He seemed slightly confused, and mildly irritated at the delay, but pulled over regardless, allowing me to jump out, and grab a few images. The subject of my enthusiasm was the cloud cover spilling over Table Mountain, the city’s guardian, like …
The plan for yesterday had been to spend the day at Cape Point, South Africa with a group of Instagramers; the most south-western tip of the continent and described as the meeting place of two oceans. It sounded like an exciting day was in store, especially as some secret locations were being offered, I was really looking forward to the …
What would you consider crazy? How about climbing to the top of one of South Africa’s World Cup stadiums, not to admire the view, but to jump into thin air, does that sound crazy enough? That’s exactly what a group of us did at the famous Moses Mabhida Stadium on a recent visit to Durban. Oh were you expecting a …
Fishermen may not seem sexy and a surprising topic choice for a photography and travel essay. Their tall tales and fondness for exaggeration aside some guy in chest high waders is only likely to appear on the front cover of “Fly Fisherman” or perhaps “Fetish Monthly” rather than “Vogue” magazine. Firemen and other uniform wearing men of action are much …
The Gambia was only recently visited and instantly became a favourite destination. The reasons are numerous, it is the smallest country on the African mainland with a culture which is very different to our own. It provides a great opportunity to take some candid photographs of Africa. It is a diverse country. There are long, sandy beaches where fishermen with …
I appreciated some serendipity in the Drakensberg; a compelling motive for choosing to travel. Discovering the unexpected is a large part of the appeal for me. It provides the excitement, exploring a world where even the remotest corners have been thoroughly surveyed and mapped. Anticipating a new discovery, finding something different or unexpected is a driving force for all modern-day …
Travelling to South Africa and not visiting one of the large game reserves such as Kruger, MalaMala or even Inverdoorn is probably unthinkable for many travellers. The draw of possibly seeing the Big Five is just too appealing and impossible to resist. The recent trip which was organised by South African Tourism concentrated on some alternative attractions in Durban and …
I’m jumping back straight back on a plane for a press trip to South Africa, @GoToSouthAfrica tourism is meeting the UK press at INDABA 2013. The trip will be held over the period Friday 10 – 18th May 2013 in and around the city of Durban. It is an exciting region and should provide some great adventures. There should also …
As the 4 wheel drive vehicle pulled into the ramshackle village of Kanuma, the Gambia the 5 westerners aboard were probably both curious and mildly apprehensive. Only one of the group had visited the area before and even Kathryn from Gambia Experience hadn’t witnessed a kumpo before therefore none of us quite knew what to expect. The vehicle was chased …
