Uganda: In the Realm of Golden Monkeys and Misty Volcanoes – Part One

Uganda: In the Realm of Golden Monkeys and Misty Volcanoes – Part One

I landed in Entebbe after a 12-hour flight from London. Entebbe, adjacent to Lake Victoria, benefits from a tropical rainforest climate with steady, pleasant temperatures throughout the year. It was enjoyable to stay and experience both Entebbe and Kampala—the relaxed lakeside charm of Entebbe and the vibrant energy of Kampala offered a nice introduction to Uganda. I stayed at Entebbe Forest Lodge, which provided a peaceful base to explore the local attractions. But like many other adventurous tourists, I was eager to travel southwest to visit Uganda’s national parks in search of mountain gorillas and golden monkeys.

A Journey Through the Heart of the Mekong Delta

I spent three immersive days in Ho Chi Minh City, delving into its rich heritage and dynamic urban culture. With a blend of walking tours, Hop-On-Hop-Off buses, and the vibrant Vespa tour, I explored the multifaceted charm of the city. Yet, amidst the hustle of city life, I longed to experience the natural and cultural rhythm of Vietnam. A journey to the Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s rice bowl, was a necessary pilgrimage …

The Iconic Victoria Falls Hotel

The iconic Victoria Falls Hotel is unlike any other traditional hotel. It’s a historic hotel that was built as part of an ambitious project amidst an extraordinary landscape, one of the natural wonders of the world. Its existence is due to the development of the railway system in Zimbabwe in the early 20th century. The original structure was built to accommodate the workers on the railway.

48 Hours in Devon, Part 1: Dartington Estate

I’d always planned to visit South Devon so, after months of isolation due to COVID and it being springtime, I at last set out to explore its hidden treasures. I had passed through Torquay a few times in the past but now I had the opportunity to stay for 48 hours and discover those pristine seaside, picturesque villages, and charming landscapes and taste the local foods that I had heard about.

OH, VIENNA! | Austrian capital is stunning and may even outshine the likes of London and Paris

OH, VIENNA! | Austrian capital is stunning and may even outshine the likes of London and Paris

Vienna is one of those must-see places. It may even outshine the likes of Paris and London, as it is more charming and elegant in so many ways.

I arrived in the majestic capital city of Austria — situated on the bank of the Danube river — and I could sense that difference in the first few days of my stay. The longer I strolled through Vienna, which is a lively living museum, the more glimpses I had of the hidden secrets of this fascinating city, where modernity is blended with baroque and medieval architecture.

Vienna is a rich city with large tree-lined boulevards, splendidly ornamental streets and a collection of royal palaces.

The hidden paradise of Palawan, Philippines

The hidden paradise of Palawan, Philippines

 

Not many people know about the island Province of Palawan in the Mimarop region, and even though it is the largest province in the Philippines, it remains unspoilt and ripe for exploring.

The best way to see it is with a local Filipino company like Tao that fosters ecotourism and sustainability while introducing tourists to these islands’ local way of life.

I would spend three days with a group using one of Tao’s small vessels and doing some island hopping. We started our adventure on the island of Busuanga,  connected by air to the capital Manila.
