Africa

Sensational Sahara and other adventures

  If you have never been to the Sahara desert and you get an opportunity please add it to your list. This is the second time I have been blessed to see it, all be it in a heat wave which wasn’t planned. I had a beanie and a puffer jacket packed…… It is a long way on a small group tour but so worth it.  36 degrees called…

Fabulous Fes.

 Our journey through Morocco is like an ancient rainbow, around every magical corner is a laneway that leads to a souk with walls that have so much character they are aged to perfection and alive with colours of yesteryear, just from being painted and painted.

The Blue Pearl of North Africa

Marrakech: If you listen to the noise of the market, you won’t buy anything: African Proverb

To get there, our little Souk & Co group boarded our bus for what appears to be a 250 kilometre trip- so therefore 2.5 hours, however the roads aren’t all freeways and in…

Inside the Kasbah Skoura

After leaving the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert, we had a big travel day on the bus, stopping a few times before reaching the town of Skoura. We stop at a beautiful town and as women, we support other women, who run a co op in a fortified village of Khorbate that is being re built to preserve it’s heritage. Lunch – under orange groves and olive trees…
