Unseen Cities that you Must See

Of all the cities in the world, few inspire more exotic and vibrant images than Marrakech. The name conjures images of spice markets, bustling and overwhelming souks, beautiful rugs and colorful textiles, gold lamps, leather tanneries, tea, and so much more. People like to talk about these fascinating aspects of Marrakech, but rarely mention (at least on social media) how difficult it can be to visit.

After around 24 hours of flying and airport stopovers, followed by a 3 hour minibus journey, we finally arrived in South Africa! We flew from Manchester to Dubai, had some amazing sushi at the airport, and then flew to Johannesburg. I felt dreadful but was so excited to be in South Africa. We were staying at a lodge in a reserve called Ant's Hill in an area called Vaalwater. Vaalwater is to the North East if South Africa, 3 hours north of Johannesburg.

You imagine there will be all kinds of wildlife – zebras, elephants, lions and possibly even hyenas – but what else happens? I feel extremely fortunate to have been on four safaris in my lifetime, and can say with complete certainty that this is my all time favourite travel experience. My first safari was in Kruger National Park in South Africa, followed by a second stint in the same year to the same National Park (trust me when I say it is addictive!), followed by a third safari in Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa a year later, and a fourth safari in Tanzania just recently. Each safari was incredibly different from the next, offering a chance to view different wildlife each time. Even each day on safari is a completely different experience and no day is ever the same when viewing these incredible animals in their natural habitat. So before you go on safari, here’s everything...
