Breakfast with a difference in Kenya

On my recent trip to Kenya I was fortunate enough to have a Bush Breakfast:

A cup of coffee and a couple of biccies (or biteings are the call them locally) at the lodge and it was off for an early morning game drive in the Masai Mara. Didn’t get time to get hungry during the game drive due to the adrenalin rushing after seeing some simply amazing game.

However when we pulled up to a section of bush in the middle of the Mara I was starving. Having pre-booked a Bush breakfast I was a bit unsure what to expect. I thought we would turn up to a purpose built area and have a few croissants and coffee whilst sitting on camping stools. Boy was I wrong, we were led through the bush to be met with a glass of sparking wine and a view of a full breakfast buffet, complete with juices, stainless steels serving trays, chef and cooking station, all in the middle of nowhere.

After finishing a great glass of sparkly we were taken to our table, on the banks of the river complete with the sound of hippos grunting in the background, a simply amazing setting for breakfast. The table was fully laid with cups, silver cutlery, condiments etc and very comfortable direct style chairs. We were then told to help ourselves to the buffet, now I was starving!

The variety at the buffet was fantastic I had options of bacon, sausages, mushrooms, baked beans, tomatoes, yoghurts, various breads, choice of fresh juices and various pastries. There was also a chef cooking your eggs how you would like and tea and freshly brewed coffee.

We enjoyed the next hour or so with a great breakfast, sitting in the morning sun, with the hippos chatting in the background, birds in the trees and friendly helpful staff looking after us.

What a great way to start the morning, quick use of the loo’s (which were in tents, all very clean) before heading off for another game drive!

Cruise and stay with Escape Worldwide ⛴🛳

Cruises are amongst the most popular types of holidays at the moment, effortlessly taking you to different destinations throughout your trip - without the need to keep packing & unpacking! Settle in to your ship and wait for the world come to you, ideally with a good book and a gin & tonic. At Escape Worldwide we tend to focus on Cruise & Stay Holidays, with the cruise as part of your trip but with a whole load more included too. Invariably you’ve flown to your departure port, so rather than heading straight from the airport to the port we’ll include a few days to explore the destination - places such as Singapore , New Orleans, Cape Town, and Dubai deserve more time than just passing through. After you’ve disembarked we can take you on to another location to round off your trip - a beach resort, perhaps, or another city. Fly onwards from Singapore to Bali or Phuket , take a train from New Orleans to Memphis, pick up a rental car as you return to Cap...

The stunning Indian Ocean.....Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles and more! 😎🏖☀

The islands of the Indian Ocean are surprisingly varied, ranging from cultural melting pots to dots on the horizon - it’s important to pick the right one for you! The gorgeous islands of the Maldives are probably the most beautiful beach destination we’ve ever been to - picture postcard stuff, and then some! Each resort is an island in its own right, and as you can't really get off your island it’s important to make sure that your resort is ideal for you. The Maldives is perfect for relaxation and gentle activity - if it’s sightseeing and culture you’re after, you’re in the wrong place! Water based activities are popular - if you want decent snorkelling and diving (it’s world-class here) then look for an island with a house reef, or if you prefer to potter in the shallows with a good book and a glass of sauvignon blanc (we’re definitely the latter!) then you need an island with a lagoon. Some resorts come with hefty price tags, so it’s important to get things right! ...
