Gorilla trekking safety is one of the first things people ask about when they start planning a visit to Uganda or Rwanda, and the answer is more reassuring than most people expect. Mountain gorilla trekking has been running in both countries for decades and has an excellent safety record — the habituated gorilla families that…
Everything you need to know about the drive from Arusha to Serengeti — distance (325 km), journey time (5–7 hours), road conditions, the best stops along the way at Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, and when flying makes more sense.
Everything you need to know about travel insurance for an East Africa safari — medical evacuation cover, gorilla trekking as an insured activity, bush flight cover, baggage, trip cancellation, and which providers cover the region properly.
The Masai Mara vs Serengeti question is the one we hear most from travellers planning their first East Africa safari, and it deserves a straight answer rather than “they’re both great.” The honest truth is that the Masai Mara and the Serengeti are the same ecosystem separated by an international border — the Mara River…
La Digue island is unlike any other place in Seychelles — and given the competition, that is saying something. It is small (10 km²), almost entirely car-free, and home to Anse Source d’Argent, the most photographed beach in the Indian Ocean.

The question of Mahé vs Praslin vs La Digue is the one we are asked most often when someone is planning their first Seychelles trip, and the honest answer is that each island does something different — well enough that the comparison is almost unfair. Mahé has the airport, the most variety, and the best…
Let us be upfront: Seychelles is expensive. Not “slightly more than Thailand” expensive — genuinely expensive, on a par with the Maldives or French Polynesia for mid-range and luxury travel. But it is also more varied than its reputation suggests. You can visit Seychelles on a real budget if you know how, and at the…
The question we hear most often before a Seychelles trip: “When should we go?” And the answer depends almost entirely on what you want out of the holiday. Calm beaches? Wildlife? The best value? A whale shark in the water next to you? The timing changes each time. Here is the honest month-by-month picture for…
