For a short holiday Jozef Verbruggen leaves with the family for Zimbabwe which ends on the beach of Vilanculos in beautiful Santorini Mozambique.
South Africa, for me the first but certainly not the last time!
A long-cherished dream becomes a reality. Together with my wife I go on a discovery to the beautiful northeast of South Africa. We drive roughly from Johannesburg, via kruger park, the Panorama route, through Swaziland, St Lucia to Drakensbergen. A total WOW experience. Wild, nature and good food and drink!
Northern Patagonia on horseback
Riding like the real gauchos, off the beaten track through the pristine north of Patagonia. What an adventure through the Patagonian steppe!
Mission snow leopard
From a homestay in Ulley at 4,500m altitude overlooking the Zankar Ridge – a mountain range of more than 6,000m adorned in eternal snow – I will look for the mystical ‘mountain ghost’, the snow leopard. A predator that lives in harsh conditions of the highest peaks of the Himalayas and is so rare and little spotted that it is on the bucket list of every wildlife enthusiast.
I am a Nomad; Botswana is my homeground!
The African continent continues to delight and Botswana is one of my ‘old time favourites’. A modern Nomad, that’s me. Who’s following in my footsteps?
South Vietnam and Cambodia, an unforgettable experience
My image of Vietnam years ago was shaped by the cinema films and news items of the past. To be honest, it was difficult to form a picture of contemporary Vietnam. Time for a new experience!
Mauritius, a dream destination
Last September I made a reconnaissance trip to the beautiful tropical island of Mauritius on behalf of Untamed Travelling. 25 degrees, palm trees, tropical flowers, white beaches, a turquoise ocean with crystal clear water and a lovely welcome cocktail, I have to blink twice with my eyes but it’s really true, I’m in paradise!
Special South Africa
Trees Piersma explored the lesser-known North Cape with ten travel agents. With tough 4WD rental cars they travelled from Upington to Cape Town, via Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Augrabies Falls National Park, Namakwaland, the Cedar Mountains, Kagga Kamma, Paternoster to bustling Cape Town.
