October 30, 2015 by Dave5 Comments

Discovering the Kruger National Park

October 20, 2015 by Roxanne de BruynLeave a Comment

"Look, we have visitors!" My husband hurried outside, excited at catching his first glimpse of animals in the wild. I followed him, smiling at the baby warthog's efforts to dig up roots from the ground. Hearing something behind me, I turned and found a family of zebras standing by the deck, one rubbing an ear against a tree. That was our introduction to Marloth Park, a tourist village near the Crocodile Gate of the Kruger National Park. For … [Read more...]

Ridiculously Awesome Travel Tips For a 7 Day Trip to Antalya

October 1, 2015 by Anam NabilLeave a Comment

This is the sequel to my first post and this one is all about my stay in Antalya. Our trip to Turkey was two weeks long; eight days were spent in Antalya and six days in Istanbul.
