India is a country that you will either love or hate. It all depends on how you approach it. If you put aside your prejudices and just go with the flow, you just might find that India is infinitely more enjoyable than you’d expected it to be. Things are certainly different in India, but isn’t that why we travel, to experience new things? Personally, we weren’t sure...
Namibia is a country that we hadn’t heard much about until recently. Some friends visited Namibia a few years ago and came back raving about it but since then it’s also become quite popular on social media. The pictures we saw of Namibia’s incredible looking sand dunes, sprawling deserts and beautiful wildlife really made us think that we should pay it a visit. So...
We found self-driving in Namibia to be quite straight forward and we’d highly recommend self-driving in Namibia to anyone who is visiting this beautiful country. Having the freedom to go wherever you like, whenever you like is a huge improvement over taking an organised tour or having someone drive you around. That being said, there are a few tips that we learned...
South Africa is full of breathtaking places to visit and the Garden Route is one area of this country that attracts a boatload of visitors annually. Not only do locals flock there for their holidays and weekends away but it’s incredibly popular with overseas visitors; and rightly so, because the scenery along the Garden Route is truly incredible. It’s full of lush...
Cape Town is one of those cities that I have been wanting to visit for quite some time. Every time I saw photos of it, I longed to be there and enjoy those incredible views in person. So once we booked our tickets, I was absolutely thrilled that we were finally going to visit this beautiful city. V&A Waterfront. A stressful start to Cape Town! Customs However, on...
The iconic Table Mountain is as incredible from the air as it is from the ground. As we landed in Cape Town, I couldn’t contain my excitement when we finally saw it. Table Mountain is Cape Town’s number one attraction and it’s just incredibly beautiful. We were lucky enough to have a fantastic view of it from our Airbnb apartment in Gardens but we really wanted to do...
Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda is a great place for game drives. There, you’ll find all sorts of wildlife, including one of our favourites, the lions. Lions are the most majestic animals found in Uganda’s savanna and it’s a real treat when you can finally get up close enough to see them in action. Queen Elizabeth National Park is the only park in Uganda...
If you’ve been reading Free Two Roam for a while then you’ll know that we both love wine! In fact, we may like it a little too much (especially me, well we all have our flaws!). At home, we visit many wineries, as we’re lucky to live so close to some of the best wineries in Australia. Unfortunately, when we left Australia to go travelling, it meant giving up on wine...
If you think you can only do decent game drives in Tanzania, Kenya or South Africa, then think again! Uganda is more renowned for its gorilla trekking but it is definitely not lacking in other animals. Like most people, the main reason for our Uganda trip was the mountain gorilla trekking. But we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of other wildlife we saw there...
On our recent trip to Uganda we booked an itinerary that included several primate experiences, along with some additional safari game drives. While we had an amazing time, one thing that tripped us up was that we didn’t fully appreciate what primate habituation experiences were. We chose an itinerary that had three separate habituation experiences. They were for the...
