Water Spots Canoe and Kayak, fishing and sailing
TRAVEL: WATER SPORT
In this section, we’ve selected a couple of water sport activity ideas that might interest you and a short description on why the particular water sport activity could be a part of your holiday fun!
Canoe and Kayak
So let’s get back to the basics. What is the difference between a canoe and a kayak? Well, a kayak is has a covered in-deck and is paddled from the seating position. The paddles used for kayaks are usually double ended. The canoe, on the other hand, is open with turned-up ends. The canoe has single ended paddles and canoes are paddled in either kneeling or seating positions. Why would you take a canoe and kayak holiday or choose these as an activity?
Theme Parks around the world

This theme park receives an estimated 250 million visitors from all over the world, each year. Mmmmh….. Well, join us as we take a tour through this theme park and discover what it is that attracts so many people from different corners of the globe.

The Magic Kingdom is exactly that. A kingdom in which magic comes to life. A place where all the fairy tale characters come to life and there are magical attractions at every corner. The kingdom is divided into five magical lands consisting of Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Liberty Square and Tomorrowland.
Sightseeing tours
TRAVEL: SIGHTSEEING
When we travel we look for fun and enjoyment be it lying on the beach doing, well, nothing or roaming around a foreign city and enjoying the sights, art, historical features etc. In some countries, visiting historical sites is not free. You either need to pay at the entrance or produce a voucher or sightseeing pass that you can obtain when making online bookings for your travel.
One of the main reasons people travel to foreign countries, across borders, overseas and into different continents is to see the historical landmarks, monuments, cultural heritage, nature, landscapes etc. that distant lands hold within them. Sydney Opera house, the Statue of Liberty, the Victoria Falls, the Niagara Falls, whether it be natural wonders or man made wonders, we all want to pack our bags, catch a plane, check in, go out and discover a new city and take as many pictures as possible. That’s what makes us decide to travel to a certain destination.
Scuba diving tours and trips
TRAVEL: SCUBA DIVING
So what is scuba diving? It is defined as the use of Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus which enables an individual to stay underwater for periods longer than an average human being can hold their breath. So what is it that drives people to take a scuba diving trip? Well, for starters, three quarters (75%) of the planet earth is covered by water. Scuba diving is a way in which human beings can explore under water life and catch a glimpse of a fraction of the deepest of the deep blue sea.
There are different types of scuba diving like open water diving, wreck diving which specifically takes divers to ship wrecks, cave diving, night diving, ice diving and more. Most holiday makers take a diving trip and these are usually open water diving trips. Open water diving trips are primarily for eco-tourism and focus on taking tours for underwater sightseeing purposes.
Hiking tours and trails
TRAVEL: HIKING TRAILS
So this month, Travelin Head jets off to South West Africa, and lands in Windhoek, Namibia. This trip is to experience a hiking trail with a difference. Namibia is a country with coastline and a desert, the Namib Desert to be precise. The landscape varies from dry grasslands, to desert land and dunes, mountains and hills, and ofcourse the ocean.
Windhoek is the capital city of Namibia. So we hired a vehicle and took a drive out of the city, about 20kms to a game reserve park called Daan Viljoen. The park has camping facilities, comfortable accomodation, barbecue facilities and it is a fun destination for the whole family.
Dining out while on holiday
TRAVEL: CULINARY & DINING
Have you ever wondered what makes a person a Connoisseur? Simple, for example a coffee connoisseur is a person who is seemingly an ‘expert’ on the topic of coffee. Well, this week, we explore the world of coffee and bring you some information that will get you started on the coffee world. So next time you travel, you can decide whether a cup of coffee is the right one for you or not!
Let’s take a look at the history of coffee. It is agreed that coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia by a sheep herder named Kaldi. He noticed his sheep behaving strangely as they grazed near a green leaf bush which seemed to have bright red cherries on it. Kaldi decided to try the cherries himself and he soon understood why his sheep were so joyful.
Tour operators boat rides and cruises
TRAVEL: BOAT RIDES
ZAMBEZI RIVER BOAT RIDES
The Zambezi is one of the most famous rivers in Africa and the world, and it breaks out into one of mother nature’s great wonders, the Victoria Falls. Naturally, tour operators in the area offer boat rides and cruises on the river.
Things to do and see Wildlife
TRAVEL: BIRD WATCHING
Over the past few decades, bird watching went from being perceived as something “only the rich would do” to a popular recreational sport for travel enthusiasts and nature lovers. Those that practice bird watching as a hobby, read up on the different species of birds and then travel to areas where it is most likely to spot those bird species. The exciting part of bird watching is actually being able to spot a bird and be able to tell what species it is by its characteristics.
Beach Tours and travel destinations
TRAVEL: BEACH
When you hear the word “beach” what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it to take a trip to a travel destination known for its beaches? Or do you think white sand, pebbles, sea shells, blue waters and palm trees?
Whether you take a trip to the beach to simply enjoy nature or to take a swim or get up to fun water activities like windsurfing, kayaking and scuba diving, at the end of the day, the idea behind taking a trip to the beach is to relax and enjoy oneself.
