Words To Travel By

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

-Anthony Bourdain

Cycling in Africa

Cycling around Africa is an incredible way to experience the landscape, culture and heritage of the continent. But people always have questions: Where to go? What should I be on the lookout for? We’ll answer these questions here.

Calving Season in Serengeti

Calving season happens at the beginning of the year, with herds following the rains south of the Serengeti. How the wildebeest know where the rains are is still a mystery. But where the rains are, the animals follow. And in less than a month, over 500,000 new wildebeests are born.

Another Happy Customer

We discussed the parts of Tanzania we wanted to see from a National Park perspective as well as expressing our preferences for the kind of accommodation we would like to experience but we were totally in Catherine’s hands. She used her experience and knowledge to build a packed schedule maximizing the time available to us and ensuring we experienced permanent brick built lodges, in park high quality tented camps as well as some semi-permanent tented camps. The same applied to our week in Tanzania a fabulous hotel. Finally her choice of tour operator partner was superb and we would highly recommend both Catherine and Rickshaw to anyone looking to visit Tanzania and/or Zanzibar.

Excellent prep and organization all round from start to finish.
