About Journey Beyond

Best Africa travel memory: My most memorable travel experience in Africa comes from being on safari and seeing the continent’s incredible wildlife in its natural environment. There’s something unforgettable about the stillness of the bush, the early‑morning game drives, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature at its purest. It’s a moment that continues to inspire my love for exploring Africa.

Favourite African destination: Of all the places I’ve visited, the Garden Route remains my favourite. I’m drawn to its mix of coastal beauty, forest landscapes, and easy‑going adventure. Whether I’m driving along its scenic stretches, discovering small towns, or enjoying time outdoors, the Garden Route always feels like the perfect balance of relaxation and exploration.

Bucket list destination/next trip: Zimbabwe is next on my list, and I’m excited to experience its natural wonders and unique culture. From the powerful Victoria Falls to its wildlife‑rich national parks, I’m looking forward to discovering what makes Zimbabwe such a remarkable destination.

Best Africa Travel Memory: Has to be my first ever travel memory, my parents took us to the Kruger when I was 6 years old.
I will never forget the feeling of utter awe when I woke up to Giraffes & Ellies on our doorstep.

Favourite African Destination: All them! So hard to pick a favourite when the each country on the continent has something special and beautiful to visit and there’s still so much I have yet to see.
If I have to pick from the places I have been lucky enough to visit, I’d say Kenya – there’s just something magical about the Mara and it’s sunsets that stole my heart.

Bucket List Destination: My dream and goal is to see as much of the world as I possibly can in my lifetime. Perhaps the next adventure in Africa takes me trekking with the Gorilla’s in Rwanda or enjoying a sunset on one of the Islands.

Best Africa travel memory: All of them! But if I had to choose.. It would be trekking through the thick bamboo forests in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda and experiencing the Mountain Gorillas up close. Watching how these gentle giants interact as a family in their natural habitat was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
