Human history is born in the African continent which makes Africa the wellspring from which all of the history of the world flows so it should come as no surprise that Africa is also home to the best artistic forms of expression and the world’s most vibrant and diverse cultures. Museums of all stripes are institutions in the service of society that research, collect, conserve, interpret, and exhibit tangible and intangible heritage. Open to the public, accessible and inclusive, museums foster diversity, and sustainability and preserve treasures of our cultural heritage. Museums are a great place to start, especially in getting to know a country better but most importantly its history people, and cultural heritage. Almost all of Africa’s ancient artistic heritage and natural history collections are preserved in European countries: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Vienna, and Belgium. Difficult as it may be to articulate the magnitude[…]
Our Summer in Africa series is back. A series we started last year with the aim of highlighting some of the most interesting and best experiences in Africa. So as many of our customers are getting ready to ride the trolley to travel and roam anyone two, or more of the 54 countries in the continent, join us as we explore and uncover some of the best experiences Africa has to offer. The African continent teems with unique landscapes, ancient history, diverse cultures and traditions, geographical wonders, and of course wildlife and countless active adventures. So are the stories and tales and fables about legends and most importantly the writers and authors bringing into light these stories. It pays to embark on journeys that fundamentally reorient our senses on our travels. Because part of growing, and learning to travel well, means daring to take our own interests a bit[…]
1. Stargazing at The NamibRand Nature Reserve – Namibia The NamibRand Nature Reserve in Namibia was the first reserve to achieve Gold Tier dark-sky status from the International Dark-Sky Association, which means its sky quality is ideal for stargazing. Designated a Gold Tier International Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark Sky Association,  the NamibRand International Dark Sky Reserve was only the second place on Earth that was designated with Gold Tier status because of its exceptionally dark skies. As a part of the classification of this area as a night sky reserve the Namib Desert Environmental Educational Trust Centre was formed to offer educational programs on the earth and the sky. These programs are open to all Namibians; schoolchildren are their most common guests, but also to visitors from all over the world.  The program offers overnight accommodation and guests have the option of staying in open-air units where[…]
When asked where he came from, Socrates answered, not ‘From Athens’ but ‘From the World.’ The art of travel by Alain de Botton is a wittily crafted book drawing on the theories and bons mots of writers, explorers, philosophers, and artists. De Botton illustrated the two types of travelers those that see the world with awe and wonder, those who travel to expand their perspectives of the world, and those who pay keen attention to details, details our world has to offer, be it nature, animals, scenery,  architecture, how the sun sets and rises in different places of the world – the marvelous beauty of our planet and all its organisms. Those who ask vigorously, questions motivated by being in search of an authentic representation of experiences. On the other hand, there are pessimistic types of travelers – those from the pessimistic school who only see disappointments in every reality or experience. No better[…]
With demand for international travel back in full force it has become even more important to get travel insurance, especially in this pandemic era. Also, with many airports experiencing staffing shortages and baggage delays, buying travel insurance makes more sense now than ever before. Sure, prices for airfare and hotels are causing sticker shock among those who are ready to explore, but having a travel policy in place will ensure you won’t lose the money you spent if your trip is canceled or interrupted for reasons beyond your control. As defined by The US Travel Insurance Association (UStiA), a national association of insurance carriers, third-party administrators, insurance agencies, and related businesses involved in the development, administration, and marketing of travel insurance and travel assistance products; “travel insurance is designed to cover the times when things go wrong and problems arise when you are on a trip.” There are three[…]
