EXPERIENCES
Recent travel memoirs from the ladies at Quality Travel
GAIL
completely fell in love with
VIETNAM
during her travels in February. This
colourful and diverse country offers so much. From beautiful landscapes,
peaceful cruises in Halong Bay (Gail experienced a fabulous overnight cruise on the Paradise
Luxury), stepped rice paddies in the North, historic colonial towns such as Hue and Hoi An
and glorious beach resorts such as the
NAM HAI
located just outside Hoi An. Hanoi and
Ho Chi Minh are steamy and frenetic with a vibrant atmosphere and charming people.
Explore the ancient and more recent history of Vietnam via the French colonial buildings or
landmarks like the Cu ChiTunnels and enjoy remarkable cuisine; full of historical influences.
It is certainly some of the most delicious food you can experience in the Far East. You can
now visit Vietnam visa free for stays of less than 15 days so do call Gail for any plans you
have to visit this fascinating destination.
KAREN
has recently visited
SOUTH AFRICA
and
MOZAMBIQUE
, where
she experienced a fabulous safari at
TINTSWALO LODGE
in Kruger National Park,
followed by a stay at their sister property,
TINTSWALO ATLANTIC
, a 5-star luxury
lodge nestled on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean between Hout Bay and Cape Town.
She then flew up to Mozambique and took a short helicopter flight to
AZURA
BOUTIQUE RESORT
on Benguerra Island, the second largest island in the sunny
Bazaruto Archipelago. The property is set in a protected marine conservation area
and offers pristine beaches and unspoiled coral reefs teeming with marine life. The
deep Mozambique Channel, which runs alongside the island, is renowned for its game
fish and Benguerra Island offers some of the world’s best catch-and-release deep sea
fishing and fly fishing opportunities.
DIANA
has had such a hectic start to 2016 which has prevented her from
travelling abroad but is soon to visit
THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS
off the coast of Sicily.
These beautiful unspoilt islands make a fabulous two centre holiday with Sicily which
is an island Diana knows very well. She is also heading to
HALKIDIKI
in May to stay
at two of our favourite resorts,
DANAI BEACH RESORT & VILLAS
and
SANI
RESORT
. Please speak to her about either destination or wait for her full report in our
next Q Magazine.
SALLY
has just come back from Kenya where she stayed at
GIRAFFE
MANOR
just outside Nairobi – which gives a unique opportunity to get up close and
personal with the Rothschild’s giraffes that are part of their regeneration programme.
From there she went to the spectacular Masai Mara, staying at
SALA’S CAMP
– which
gives a real camping experience but with all mod cons. It is in a great location on the
banks of the Mara River – so plenty of great game viewing opportunities. Then it was
up on to the escarpment to stay at
ANGAMAMARA
, which is where they filmed Out
of Africa and has breathtaking views over the Mara and again great game viewing. As
always, she would be only too happy to tell you all about it and to share here many
photos with you!
