Journey With Deb

Imagine azure blue skies shifting into shades of pale crimson and calming ginger staring into a canvas of endless ocean – picnic blankets  laden on spiky lawns, families nuzzled together on pillows and a good book to read, couples toasting, the guitar playing and carefree laughs between friends. That’s the sort of scene one will [...]

By Terence on Travel Postcards It was hunt number 3 for the monstrous beast. Hunt number 1 failed due to bad weather. We checked in to the backpackers and they told us the weather wouldn’t permit for the next 3 days. Undaunted, we rescheduled as we had more than a week left. Then the day [...]

We are now in their territory with a different set of rules we had to follow. From the level of noise to the distance our vehicles should [...]

(Written by Terence on Travel Postcards) We were thorougly swept off our feet on our very first safari trip. We chose an experience with &Beyond, as we were first captivated by how they operated and marketed themselves online. Being our first safari experience, we didn’t want anything less.
