Guestbook
Before my wife, Nancy and I took up residence in Scotland,
The Highlands had become our favourite holiday destination.
So after moving here we had to find an alternative. With our love of
 wildlife, Africa seemed a natural choice, and our first visit - to The Gambia in 2003 only whetted our appetite.  Our second visit in 2005 prompted us to start keep diaries, later turning these into the photo-diaries on our website here. We have logged our daily adventures from the mountainous volcano refuge of the mountain gorilla in Rwanda, across the vast plains of Kenya and Tanzania, Botswana's Okavango Delta, Zambia's Victorial Falls - right across to Namibia's Atlantic Skeleton Coast. We hope this gives some insight for those considering such a trip, as well as providing fond memories for the many travellers with whom we have shared our adventures.
