Is Kilimanjaro’s Lemosho Route the most beautiful path to The Roof of Africa?

We May Have Travelled Around the World – But we Still Have a Bucket List…
You would think that once you had travelled around the world, your passion for travel would be sated and that you could start getting on with a ‘normal’ life… but for us, it seems to have had the opposite effect! Since returning to ‘the real world’ we have found that we want to see even…
Countdown to Summer… Can Someone Let the Weatherman Know Please!
If, like me, you are counting the days until summer arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, then you will already know that we have just 18 sleeps to go until we can indulge in the glorious sunshine, daily BBQs, chilled white wines and alfresco lifestyles that come with the summer season…! Well, that’s the hope, at…
A-Z of Travel – Y is for Your Dream Holiday
If money and time were no objects, where would your dream holiday take you?

A-Z of Travel – Unforgettable Holiday Destinations
If, like us, you work hard and play hard, your annual or bi-annual holiday is a time to rest, relax and recharge your batteries. A time to slow down, sit back and enjoy the little things that we are normally too busy or too stressed to take pleasure in, holidays, be it family holidays, adventure…

A-Z of Travel – K is for Kilimanjaro, L is for Life-Changing, M is for Mountaineering
Forgive me doubling up here, but after extending our weekend away from 2 days to 4 days, I have a lot of catching up to do if I am to finish my A-Z of travel by 31st May! These three letters/words go wonderfully well together, and if you dream about climbing Africa’s highest mountain one…
A-Z of Travel – D is for Destinations (My Top 10)
For me, the hardest part about travelling is actually deciding on where to go!

A-Z of Travel – A is for Africa…
Well, I may have missed the A-Z blogging Challenge of April 2013, but a new month brings new ideas, I as we have 26 days left in May (one for each letter of the alphabet), I thought I would challenge myself to write an A-Z on Travel! When I first started blogging back in January…
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro – A Once in a Lifetime Experience… That I cannot wait to do again!
Like many travellers I had “Climb Mount Kilimanjaro” firmly written on my bucket list, but if I am honest, I never actually thought I would have the opportunity to do it. Fortunately, my travel-mad husband also dreamed about climbing Africa’s highest mountain, and one sunny afternoon in June last year he booked the flights to Kilimanjaro…
