Solo Travel for Women in Africa: Why Kenya is the Safe, "No-Loneliness" Choice
Solo Travel for Women in Africa? I started solo travelling very young. This is because my parents sent my sister and me off to the United States for holidays every other year from the age of six. This gave me confidence, and by the age of 18. I had already been to several European countries alone.

Ethical and Safe Travel in Africa? South Africa or Kenya?
This is a tourist dilemma that you mull over quite a lot before booking your first Safari. And, this is before you start reading about the Serengeti and then contemplate Tanzania too. Now, I have been to all of these places and I will give you my low down based on two aspects.
Safety
Ethical Values
For me, these are the two key principles that I look at other than cost when choosing a Safari.

Is May too Muddy for Safari? The Truth About Kenya's Green Season
The Insect Myth Buster! Mosquitos and mud will ruin your safari in May and June?
Let me be honest with you. In April and May, Samburu. Where we will be in Kenya on Safari is dry. Also, the lack of excess water, compared to the coast, means that mosquitoes are surprisingly minimal. In fact, I went on Safari in Samburu, and never even saw one mosquito!

Finding My Style at 50: The Safari I Turned Pretty
The Safari I Turned Pretty? Or the Summer I Turned Pretty?
Yes. My daughter introduced me to The Summer I Turned Pretty, and I immediately read the book. Then fell in love with the series. I related to the show, because I used to be a swimmer and every summer we would go to California for summer. I had my first kiss in Lake Tahoe!

Ethical Travel in Zanzibar: What Responsible Tourism Really Looks Like on the Ground
Zanzibar is stunning, the plastic bag ban is heroic. But sadly, beauty and good intention alone does NOT make ethical travel.

African Jewellery and Womanhood
Jewellery plays a significant role in identity worldwide. Whether you wear a wedding ring, a cross, earrings, or nothing at all. Jewellery can make a statement about you. Or help you to feel good about yourself and your culture.
In Africa, jewellery can tell stories or express beliefs. This includes the tribe to which you belong, your social standing, and whether you are married or not.
