If you would like ‘a little bit of simply stunning’, then take a look at this. We lie on our day beds under the canvas of clear blue sky. Opposite it is the luxurious outdoor swimming pool, and the sun glistens on the cobalt blue water, inviting us in. It is only 10:00 a.m. and we can’t believe we have […]
Thailand prides itself on its excellent service. The Thai’s are precise, punctual, and extremely helpful in most cases, and after a long flight from Kenya, Africa we were so pleased to finally arrive in Bangkok at our centrally located hotel in busy Bangkok. It was barely dinner time, but I hadn’t slept much in the […]
Do you have a ‘bucket list’ of places you want to travel to and things you want to see and do in this wide and wonderful world? If you are a busy person; live the business or executive life; only have a day stopover on your flight; have a sporting or team commitments; or health […]
Most travelers dream of going on safari in Africa, with their head poking out of a Land-rover, or sitting in a retro truck as it bumps over the orange dust giving their backs and buttocks an African massage. But like most travelers, we found ourselves seeking a little luxury as well. We had roughed it […]
Imagine waking up in paradise on an African island to the sounds of pretty birds singing their morning song; with coconut palms gently swaying in the breeze, and the gentle lap of the ocean inlet before you. All around you is pristine white; from the floor following up the walls to the roof. And as […]
Hidden away off the north coast of Africa on the tiny island of Lamu is the small village of Kipungani. This sleepy completely Muslim settlement was once the thriving capital of Lamu Island – back when the Arabs used to trade from the north, and the Indians came from the east. In fact, it is Kenya’s oldest […]
Have you ever had a crazy morning? A morning where all your plans are challenged? Well, we did. We had a rather crazy morning. Mainly because the rain came pouring down, and we were due to leave Turtle Bay Club for the Malindi Airport. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it […]
Have you ever thought about how good it would be for a child to have fun when they are learning? What a joy it would be for them to wake and to be excited about what the day holds for them? For my son, this is his life as he travels the world, and he […]
“What A Load Of Rubbish,” says Explorason as we walk into a building and inside are piles and piles of RUBBISH. Immediately before us, there are barrels of BLUE plastic waste, collected from the local beaches. Recently we stayed at Turtle Bay Club in Kenya. Whilst we were there we noticed a board that listed […]
We left the Watamu area just a week prior to our stay at Turtle Bay Beach Club on the Kenya Coast of Africa. With a few days to spare before we flew to Lamu Island, we decided we’d like to experience a resort with a Kids Club that was also ‘All-Inclusive’, and of course it needed to be […]
What happens when tourism dies? When tragedy strikes and area? When the Media and Government websites hype it up? When unnecessary risks are publicised. When warnings go out and scare the public away? What happens? Obviously, the tourists stay away. Most heed these warnings (which are often blown way out of proportion) and don’t even […]
Employing Locals To Educate When Travelling Often when we travel to developing countries where the cost of living is lower, we find we can take more time, and travel at a slower pace.
