In short, Victoria Falls is the ideal destination for adventure junkies who also seek a fabulous, safe, and relatively easy trip to Africa! Actually, after my first trip to this area as the ambassador of Put Foot Rally a while back, I chose Victoria Falls as a destination for my group trips because it really just has it all! The only downside is that it definitely is...
Have you heard of the country Burundi? Well, you probably have if you’ve found this post, but I’ll go ahead and tell you about it anyway! Burundi is a a very unique hidden gem that’s part of East Africa, and often overlooked thanks to its popular neighbors; Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. To be compeltely honest, I only found out about Burundi because I zoomed in on...
Featured Post by Jacenta from Simply travel with Jacenta on Instagram and YouTube. I make content helping travelers travel Uganda on a budget through tips, guides and free walking tours. From high school, I have always wanted to become a flight attendant. However, I couldn’t afford flying out for interviews and they rarely came to Uganda. So I used to...
No joke, I had no idea what to wear for gorilla trekking, and luckily one of my guides mentioned it before I left for Africa. He literally said “Oh by the way, don’t forget trekking pants, long sleeved shirt, and long socks.” None of which, I had planned on packing! Thank the universe that one of my guides texted me what to wear for gorilla trekking...
Let me just start this D.R. Congo travel guide by saying that this has been one of the top underrated, hidden paradises, that is sadly hidden from publicity due to negative news, stereotypes and hearsay. I’ll admit, I was a bit scared to go to D.R. Congo solo, especially as a woman. And I’ll also be honest in saying that many people told me not to go! It also didn’t...
Literally anyone who hears the name of the country, will automatically wonder, “Is D.R. Congo safe?” I certainly did, especially since I planned on going there solo! With nothing but negative stereotypes, warnings, and terrifying news reports, it’s no wonder at all why there is virutally no tourism in Congo. But that’s just a loss for the people afraid to go, because...
Continuing on with my 2019 bucketlist of traveling to some of the World’s most rare and unique islands, was a trip to Bazaruto archipelago off the coast of Mozambique in Africa. Initially I added this destination to my island bucketlist because I really wanted to see what I call the “Mashed Potato Sands” that swirl along the bright blue shore in certain areas, but...
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...
Each year I feel like I say, “This was the best year ever!!!” But hands down, 2017 takes the grand prize of Most Epic Year of My Life. Not only did I reach my 7th Continent, 7th World Wonder, 7th Wonder of Nature, and 75th Country but…actually nevermind, that pretty much sums up my most epic year yet. BUT! Don’t let me fool you! Traveling full time, especially...
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...
