Taking our 2 year old to a tasting menu at a Michelin Star restaurant
What else is there to do on Easter Sunday in Istanbul other than check out a tasting menu at the newly minted Michelin Star mürver restaurant.
We got the tasting menu and allowed our 2 year old to compare each course against his favorite bici (biscuit).
The results are not overly surprising.

Keeping Girls In School Through Reusable Pads

In Feb 2021, the Sunflower Foundation granted the Her Pad Project a $5,000 AUD grant to go into schools in rural Tanzania and teach girls how to make reusable pads.

A Winter Park Day Out In Cape Town
มุมมอง 212 ปีที่แล้ว
It's a nice day out at the start of winter in Cape Town. So what did we do: we grab some mini éclairs and headed up to a local park. Is this the most exciting video? No, but it was a nice family day out. We loved hanging out as a family and going on a picnic while overlooking Table Mountain and Lions Head. It is just one of those places that makes you understand why you live in/visit Cape Town....
When Mummy Hops On A Wine Tram...WHOOPIES

Going Up Table Mountain...Barely
มุมมอง 343 ปีที่แล้ว
For some reason I like torturing myself, that is why I went hiking up Table Mountain. I mean, we couldn't be in Cape Town and not make the hike up, right? To be honest, I never knew it was possible until I spoke to a few friends about it, but there are actually plenty of paths. We went up one of the more direct and safer routes, though it could be some rock scrambling a lot of the time. Start e...
The Heaviest Traffic In Cape Town: Lion's Head

Since I wanted to take advantage of all the scenery surrounding Cape Town, I thought it was time to go for a hike up Lion's Head, one of the large hills/mini-mountains that surround the city. Because South Africa is on a lockdown with a curfew at 9 pm and zero alcohol sales, everybody else had the same idea that we had: get up early on a Sunday morning and waddle up the hill. As a result, there...
When Santa Came To Mwanza On A Boat

Who doesn't love Santa? Well, he comes to visit, even in Mwanza, Tanzania, hosted during the Christmas Market at the Mwanza Yacht Club earlier in December.

Most Likely The Best Safari Of All Time
มุมมอง 1623 ปีที่แล้ว
With a global pandemic ripping through the world, there are some really amazing deals to be had when it comes to safaris in the Serengeti. On top of that, the park is almost empty. This means that there are no lines to drive by and see the paw of a lion. We decided to splurge a bit and stay at one of the top tented camps in the entire park: Asilia Namiri Plains.

Oktoberfest in Mwanza: Better Than Munich's in 2020

    What are the rules for offroad driving in the Serengeti? I see vehicles off the road in lots of TH-cam videos, but I thought this was not allowed. Can you get a special permit or do the guides just drive offroad?

However, there are only so many resources for enforcement that you will have to use your own judgement.

      Hey, I have found that there are lots of little places to stay outside the park in the Fort Ikoma area. It is a little bit harder to get to, however it is at the north and there are really cheap places that you can go and come out of quite easily. Plus there are usually extra drivers around if you need that.

    Do u recommend staying outside the park on western side in budget lodges to avoid the 60$ per person per night concession fees. Do u loose a lot by not staying inside the park .

    • @evanlorendo
      @evanlorendo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Really fair question: that $60 adds up quick, especially if you are going with a few people or multiple nights. You can turn 2 nights into 3 by staying outside, plus the amenities could be nicer. Yeah, its nice waking up in the park sometimes depending on where you are staying. But some lodges cut power in the middle of the night, where lodges outside the park usually don't. I really recommend Serenity on the Lake (and another is Speke Bay). Get in touch with them directly and get a quote and even negotiate. Both lodges are about 15 min drive from the gate. The Western gate takes a bit to get into the park, but if you don't mind driving a bit more staying outside the park is a great option.

There are some nice views, but I found it really expensive for what it is and management was terrible. I have heard it may be under new ownership, but I can't confirm it. That said you may be apart of a larger group and they may try to put everyone there. It is a convenient place... For the guides and drivers as it's right smack in the middle. It's also a massive block building hotel, so nothing special. Just looking at the prices, depending on when you are going the Serena is a much nicer hotel and close by. Though I would suggest Kubu Kubu Lodge which is within 5 Kms of Seronera. Really nice, good food, tented room that is flowing instead of a stuffy hotel room. There are other options, so speak to your agent. Reach out if you have any other questions.
