On my second day in Kenya, I headed to Lake Naivasha for a one-hour boat safari. This freshwater lake sits in the Great Rift Valley and covers about 139 square kilometres. It is shallow in most parts and dotted with several small islands, the most famous being Crescent Island, where animals roam freely. The lake and its surroundings are home to a wide variety of wildlife, from hippos to hundreds of bird species, making it a completely different kind of safari experience. From

Going on safari at Nairobi National Park was one of those experiences that felt almost unreal, with wild animals roaming free just a short drive from the city. This unique reserve spans about 117 square kilometers and is home to over 50 species of large mammals and hundreds of bird species, all set against the backdrop of Nairobi’s skyline. It is a rare place where you can experience the wild so close to a bustling city. As soon as we entered the park, the wildlife was alread

I recently had the chance to visit Turkmenistan on a short business trip, and I was genuinely impressed by the country. The “White City” instantly caught my eye.

Kazakhstan is a country that many people know little about, but it has a lot to offer. It is the ninth largest country in the world and the biggest one without a coastline.

Not far from Bishkek, I came across a place that felt like stepping into a different time. The Supara Ethno Complex, located in the quiet village of Kok-Jar, is one of those spots that quietly takes your breath away. It offers a beautiful glimpse into Kyrgyzstan ’s nomadic roots and traditions, all in a setting that feels completely authentic.   Supara is not just a restaurant or a cultural centre. It's like a living museum. The space is filled with wooden and felt yurts arra

To be completely honest, I didn’t know what to expect from Kyrgyzstan. That’s exactly what made this short trip to Bishkek so exciting, it was a journey into the unknown. Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, is one of those places that surprises you. It has a quiet charm made up of old Soviet-style buildings, wide streets, and pedestrian paths lined with trees. It is one of the greenest cities I’ve ever visited. Even just walking around felt calming, with countless parks, and

This post is long overdue, but I couldn’t skip sharing it, especially if you’re thinking of visiting Amsterdam in winter. I spent a week there in December, and it was an unforgettable mix of history, culture, festivity, and cozy moments. Strolling through the Nine Streets and Jordaan in December was a beautiful experience. The twinkling lights, festive decorations, and smell of fresh pastries made every walk feel warm and inviting. Whether you are exploring the little shops o

Uzbekistan is a land of beautiful architecture, rich history, and lively culture. Although my visit was brief, I was pleasantly surprised by the country and realized that to fully experience it, you would need at least a week—something I unfortunately didn’t have. The cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva are renowned for their stunning architecture; tiled mosques, tall minarets, and grand madrasas that offer a glimpse into the past.

Nestled within a private communal reserve of over 9,500 hectares, Posada Amazonas Lodge is owned by the Ese Eja Community of Infierno in partnersh
