However the family have been able to go on emergency respite stays at Rachel House hospice in Kinross, run by Children’s Hospices Acros

This is an old post that I had written in my days of being a wildlife travel blogger and working with Wild Navigator Sit back and enjoy this read !! -- Like Africa's 'Big 5' Animals - India has it's 'Magnificent Seven' species for Wildlife Tourism Origin of Africa's Big 5 When we start researching about the Africa savannah, the continent and it's wilderness, the term 'Big 5 ' always seem to crop up. The establishment of the world's first national park was not in Africa but at Yellowstone in the United States of America in 1872. This was much earlier then expected as the prime origin of this national park was for recreational use and not for scientific research. Africa at that time was heavily into the hunting scene where species in the wild was taken as game - this is where the 'Big 5' terminology came into being. The origination was defined by 'Big Game Hunters' in Africa who shot game and the 'Big 5' were those mamma

Welcome to our new  Jungle Babbler Series.   In this series, we look at highlighting wilderness-focused travel companies, charitable organisations & individuals, who have an insight into the wilderness, the communities they associate or work with, and programs. The main objective is to know how they plan on sustaining the future with the work they are carrying out and the ways in which they give back something to communities living there.  Enjoy  Jungle Babbler.   Our first post looks at highlighting a volunteering travel company based in the UK called Novoto. We highlight a video by Novoto made on International Women's Day and also the work they are doing and engaging with the women's movement.   Let’s change our perspective! While celebrating this year’s Women’s Day, let us take a moment to appreciate all the women around the world working in the travel industry, who make our adventures so memorable.  In a post-pandemic world, let’s reciprocate their hard work! Women empo

  This pandemic has certainly changed the way we live lives and how we care for people and family around us that are vulnerable and living with any long-term medical condition.  As a family, It all started around the middle of February 2020 for us as we knew things were not going well from this new virus called COVID 19 and that it had hit many parts of the world and especially with people dying in  China and Italy. To protect our daughter, my wife & me went into a total no contact and shielding from the end of February 2020.  So this meant no going out to shops and staying at home and shielding one another. It was difficult to start with it but as time got on we came to terms with this new life and knew who to rely on for help and assistance.  Sad this got many of the health services to come to a halt that was caring and supporting our daughter and for over two months we had no help. We were in crisis as we needed something for our own sanity and health - as caring for our dau
