Make Your Next Vacation Your Best Vacation!®

When I designed the trip I wanted to include not just animals and history but landscape.  Instead of flying from Kruger to Johannesburg we drove through the Canyonlands, a very scenic route.  It was a very nice surprise for my guests.

This was the highlight of our trip!  Seeing animals from the water, meeting local villagers was an incredible experience!

I am not an early morning person but I was more than willing to be up and out of My comfy bed at 5am to start the day's safari

Explore the vibrant city of Cape Town in South Africa, known for its penguins, rich history of Nelson Mandela, and renowned Pinotage wine.

As a travel agent, people regularly ask me about my favorite trip.  Sometimes I say Galapagos, sometimes south of France or Vietnam / Cambodia. But after coming back from our most recent trip to Africa, that list will be amended.

This is the last full day of our Gems of the Danube river cruise aboard the AmaBella.  Here's our blog from day 6.

We continue into Bulgaria today.  Our previous blog, describing the passage through the Iron Gates Gorge is here.   Today we are in Vidin.  AmaWaterways describes Vidin as "an extremely off the beaten path destination" and sure enough, that's what it is.

We continue our voyage on the AmaBella down the Danube. Today we sail through the narrow Iron Gates gorge and explore a castle.  Here's our previous day in Belgrade.  

Our previous day's adventures in Croatia and Serbia can be found here.   After leaving Novi Sad, we arrive in Belgrade a city of about 2 million people.
