Africa… There’s nowhere like it on the planet for wildlife, wild lands and rich traditions that endure. Prepare to fall in love.
Dreaming of trekking through the never-ending red sand dunes of the Sahara Desert in Morocco? I don’t blame you, the experience is nothing short of magical! Camels casting elongated shadows against the soft Earth as the sun rises and sets, a scarf wrapped strategically around your head, and the sounds of drums in the distance. All things you’ll experience on a Sahara...
Hiking is something I typically only do if there’s a waterfall involved, or an epic viewpoint. I don’t really feel the need to prove my strength to myself (or anyone else), or do strenuous exercise just for the hell of it. I do however tend to chase after the most extreme bucketlist adventures I can find, so you can probably imagine my immediate response when Whoa...
I’m not going to lie, I had a very rough idea of what to pack for Kilimanjaro, and it was initially probably only half of this Kilimanjaro packing guide by Whoa Travel! There was probably also a point where I thought I could just get by with what I had, but luckily I asked “how important is it to have _____” before I left, because Whoa’s...
Recently I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania for International Women’s Day with Whoa Travel, and I have to say it was one of the most epic moments of my life! I’m by no means a professional hiker, but I honestly can say I didn’t find many difficulties with the climb up Kilimanjaro, and was actually the first one to reach the summit! The tips I...
When the opportunity first arose for me to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro, my immediate response was “Hell yeah, that’s badass!”, and my secondary one was, “Wait, can I really hike one of the World’s highest mountains for 8 days?”. So many questions bubbled inside my adventure-lusting mind, especially since the trip was only a few weeks...
If you don’t know what to expect from a Kenya safari, I’ve decided to write out my day-to-day experience in addition to the posts with tips on everything you need to know to do one! This should give you a pretty good idea of what the experience is like, and then you can decide which safari to book and get ready for your Kenya travels using these other...
Most people, including myself (who travels full time) have tons of questions about traveling to Kenya, with no clue where to start. Luckily I am here as your travel guinea pig, to research what I can, test it out, and see what it’s really like, and what you need to have an awesome, safe, trip! I decided to go to Kenya last minute for a solo safari, which means...
Wondering what to pack for a Kenya safari? Here you’ll find the essentials from what to wear to gear to use for photos! You’ll also find the items you’ll need when you’re not out on safari, like those chilly camping nights! A quick note that my luggage got lost in transit and I didn’t have most of my items, but these are things I saw and...
Has a Kenya safari been on your bucketlist since you first ever watched the Lion King? It was for me too. Finally, I did it, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had! But I had a few concerns that are probably similar to yours about going. Namely, how in the heck to even do it! All I’d ever seen posted about Kenya safaris were expensive lodges with...
I’ve done a lot of crazy travel adventures, but recently I leapt the farthest out of my comfort zone when I opted in for a charity roadtrip across southern Africa. I’m not talking just South Africa, I’m talking FIVE countries that we drove across, stopping to camp, sightsee, and donate shoes to children along the way. The name of this magical adventure, is Put Foot...
