It’s not something that happens often to us, but when we stepped out of our Land Cruiser and arrived at Volcanoes Safaris Bwindi Lodge in Uganda we felt at ease. The individual rooms and lodge blended in with its natural surroundings. Banda’s feature windows that opened wide to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Here there was no…
It was our second time to Scotland’s capital and for good reason, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay. Edinburgh is well known for their festivals and we had just missed The Fringe, the largest art festival in the world on our first visit. So, when we had the chance to return to celebrate another New Year in one of…
Post Summary: The Best Ski Resorts in Idaho for Epic Powder Affordable and ski trip are not typically two words that go together. We’ve spent the last few months touring a number of ski resorts in Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Canada, and the United States and have come to realize that skiing and snowboarding is no poor…
We debated about traveling to Zimbabwe on our overland trip through Africa. We had heard rumors of fuel shortages, cash restrictions, power cutoffs, and harsh police roadblocks. However, this is Africa, and we decided that crossing into Zimbabwe was right on our route and could not be missed. We had received word of hour-long queues at…

When it comes to the ski resort the trails are well laid out and easy to navigate with just about every run ending at the resort village….

A wild landscape of baobab studded hills, rocky escarpments, and…
We landed in Sofia dreary eyed and exhausted from an epic New Year’s Eve party in Edinburgh. Our plan was to go skiing in Bansko, Bulgaria’s most popular ski resort to warm up for our ski tour through the alps at a more affordable price. When we stepped off the three hour bus journey from…
We arrived at the Gondwana Game Reserve, eager and ready for our week at their new tented Gondwana Eco Camp to experience ecotourism in South Africa. We had only done one self-drive safari through Kruger National Park and were more than ready to see more giraffes, buffalo, and (maybe) even the elusive cheetah in South Africa….
A road trip through South Africa is the ideal way to explore the country. South Africa has a good infrastructure of roads and plenty of sights during a long road trip. It was our first introduction to Sub-saharan Africa and our first destination for safari. We arrived in South Africa bright-eyed and excited to embark…
After driving 25,000 miles across Africa in a truck older than ourselves it was time to hit the reset button. We landed in Nairobi ready for a new take on Africa. Instead of driving and camping, we would take bush flights and stay in hotels like Hemingways Nairobi. We entered Kenya with a rush and excitement visiting…
