Planning a vacation is not an easy task. It might be easy if you know the destination well. The planning will certainly be easier when you are travelling alone. Even then, you might still find that you will need the travel agent or destination specialist to help you here and there especially if you have to make a big decision. When you are a single traveller, planning is easy because you know your interests and can easily sacrifice one interest to be able to achieve the other. But when or if another family member - for example a spouse - is also involved, then you have to be sensitive to their needs as well. That means more discussions, more deliberations, more considerations and more concerns. And...

It was summer and time for a holiday. What I wanted was to go on one of the many South African safaris available, I wanted to see elephants and I did not want to worry about malaria. This all added up to one place: Addo Elephant. Why so worried about malaria? Although I have nothing against travelling to areas where tourists are warned against malaria, you usually have to start with medication before hand. There was not enough time for me to start the procedure, so the only option for a safari was to go on a malaria free safari, which happened to be in the Eastern Cape Province where the Addo Elephant National Park is located. Originally created as a sanctuary for the eleven remaining elephants of...

When I woke up in the early morning hours at the Elephant Game lodge, it wasn't with the peaceful serenity that I expected. Oh no, it was with the sound of an elephant trumpeting as they were coming to the nearby waterhole for their early morning drink. Now although I should count myself lucky to experience these sights and sounds, it still doesn't change the fact that when you are fast asleep, forgetful of your surroundings, this wake up call leaves you shaken for the most part of your day. But after my initial shock subsided, I myself was ready for a whole hearty African breakfast complete with bacon, eggs, toast and my usual caffeine fix. The smell of fresh air... After breakfast I was joined by...
