We booked a Uganda safari holiday, half hoping it would be good. What we did not expect was to stand in a rainforest in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, barely three metres from a mountain gorilla, completely speechless. This post is about that moment, and everything that led to it, from tracking chimps in Budongo Forest to watching the Nile thunder through Murchison Falls. If you have been wondering whether gorilla trekking in Uganda is worth the journey, the permits, and the mud on your boots, read on. We are going to be honest with you, the way a friend would be, not the way a brochure would.

Lebanon is one of those destinations that quietly rewrites everything a traveller thinks they know about the Middle East. This Lebanon travel guide is not a list of monuments. It is the story of how a single trip wove together Phoenician harbours, Roman ruins, cedar-scented mountain air, and a table that never seemed to empty, from creamy goat cheese fresh out of a Bcharre factory to wood-fired SAJ flatbread at dawn and bold reds poured straight from a Bekaa Valley winery. If you have been searching for a travel guide to Lebanon that treats food as seriously as archaeology, read on.

Finding the best time to visit Cape Town depends on what you want from the trip, and for us, the answer was September, without a shadow of a doubt. We weren't just visiting Cape Town for the city itself. We were using it as the launchpad for a 20-day overland journey north through the Cederberg, across the wildflower-dusted plains of Namaqualand, and deep into Namibia and Botswana. Choosing the right month mattered enormously, not only for Cape Town's weather, but for everything that followed.

Planning a trip and trying to figure out the best time to visit Botswana for a safari? Whether you are drawn to the vast floodplains of the Okavango Delta, the raw wilderness of the Kalahari, or the legendary elephant herds along the Chobe River, timing your visit can make all the difference. This month-by-month guide breaks down what visiting Botswana looks like across every season, including why one August morning on a boat safari in Chobe National Park became the single most jaw-dropping wildlife moment of an overland journey from Namibia to Victoria Falls.

Choosing the best time to visit Jordan can make or break your entire trip, especially if you're planning something as physically demanding as a multi-day desert camping expedition. We learned this the hard way, nearly booking our Wadi Rum Bedouin Trail adventure in the height of summer before we caught ourselves. This guide breaks down exactly when to visit Jordan, month by month, so you can plan smarter, hike harder, and come home with stories rather than sunstroke.
