TRAVEL INSPIRATION & TRAVEL BLOG

Experience gorgeous countryside, rich history, amazing food, and friendly locals on this Highlights of Türkiye Tour. When you set foot in Turkey, you are following in the wake of some remarkable historical figures.

At other points in history, Romans coursed down the Curetes Way at Ephesus (Efes), medieval Armenians built Ani’s churches, and whirling dervishes gyrated with Sufi mysticism.

This Highlights of Turkey Tour will not fail to impress even the most well-travelled individuals.

A 15-day self-drive adventure across the jaw-dropping scenery of Namibia. A land of contrast and uncompromising beauty, Namibia is regarded as one of the best destinations in Africa with the highest amount of conservancies in the world – superb landscapes, excellent game viewing, and a safe country to travel around ensure it remains at the top of everyone’s “must visit” destinations.

Let’s not forget that it is the ONLY country in the world with increasing free-roaming lion and black rhino populations. Namibia is the first country in the world to incorporate the protection of the environment into its constitution. Around 15% of Namibia’s land is protected including virtually the entire Namib Desert coastal strip. Namibia possesses some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa, and a safari through the country is one of the great road adventures. Etosha National Park is the icing on the cake of this Namibia Safari. Namibia is not only a wildlife destination, it is blessed with some of the world’s finest landscapes and wide open spaces. It’s like a coffee-table book comes to life as sand dunes in the world’s oldest desert meet the crashing rollers along the wild Atlantic coast. Among all this is a German legacy evident in the cuisine and art nouveau architecture.

Namibia is also the headquarters of adventure activities in the region, so whether you’re a dreamer or love hearing the crunch of earth under your boots, travel in Namibia will stay with you long after the desert vistas fade.
