Every now and then, I share some pictures with you in a post, and that is what I would like to do today! What can you expect to find in this set of pictures? Lots of food photos, some skylines, water environments, of course, because I love hanging out near water and, unusually, quite a few photos of me. For those of you who follow me on Instagram, sorry for the repetition: I promise I am only sharing the best of my Instagram gallery, though. I hope you like them. Without further ado, here goes… No. 52: Crafts at the Ndere … Continue reading →

It’s true, I tell you. That place, Kilwa, is what I would like to tell you about today. READ ALSO: African Travel Blogs Award 2018: Please Vote for Me I first heard of the Kilwa … Continue reading →

I was chatting with my cousin a couple of days ago when she asked me, “You are not tired of water yet? Don’t you like live by the ocean?", after I had told her just how much I enjoy the view of Lake Victoria from this lovely B & B in Kampala.

Oceans differ from each other". What is constant about most bodies … Continue reading →

The Hidden Gem That is Tarangire National Park

Updated on | | | Leave a comment

When you think of Tanzania’s protected areas, what do you think of? The Serengeti, Ngorongoro, perhaps Kilimanjaro National Park, where the famous Mt. Kilimanjaro is?
