I had the opportunity to sail on Silversea Cruises a couple of years ago in the Baltic and I lhad ooked forward to introducing it to my husband.

When I received an invitation to travel to Egypt on a Travcoa luxury tour, I jumped at the chance. On a luxury tour travelers don’t have to worry about anything.

Our first camp visit was Jongomero Camp (Selous Safari Camp) in the Ruaha National Park and was delightful. The staff greets you with a song, damp wash cloth and a cool drink after your long drive. The camp is 4-star with excellent food, comfortable tents and great guides.
Following a two night stay at Jongomero we spent our last night in…keep reading
After saying good bye to the Selous we flew to Zanzibar. I could not wait to get here! I have wanted to visit Zanzibar for many years and every time I have visited East Africa I have missed it. Upon arrival we were transferred to the 30-room Mbweni Ruins Hotel (Adventure Camps). The hotel’s clients are primarily European. The hotel…keep reading

Upon arrival we were met…keep reading
