SEYCHELLES: Silhouette National Parks Experience

Discover the flora and fauna of untouched Seychelles

By Niki Gower

On Silhouette Island, 93% of which is designated as a national park, there exists a cooperation between three organisations that are championing the preservation and promotion of this natural paradise. The symbiosis between the Hilton Labriz Resort and Spa, The Island Conservation Society (ICS) and the Island Development Company (IDC) sees these three organisations cooperating in a constructive and effective effort to

South Africa: Cape Town

Get lost in Africa’s favourite city

Cape Town is Africa’s most visited city. Cape Town is a city like no other in Africa, unique in its cosmopolitan culture, natural splendour and countless variety on offer to residents and visitors alike. Cape Town is something special. NEWWORLDNOMAD spent a week in South Africa’s Mother City to find out why it’s a favourite choice when tourists the world over choose to visit Africa. 

SEYCHELLES: Silhouette Island

Hilton Labriz and the island of Silhouette

Ever sat on Beau Vallon Beach and stared off in to the distance, wondering about that prominent silhouette that looms from the horizon like a sentinel emerging from the sea? Close enough to feel as though it is the companion it has always been to Mahé’s inhabitants, yet far enough to retain a otherworldly mystique that stirs feelings of isolation and romantic curiosities.

SEYCHELLES: Sailing: Sailing the Seychelles Seas

SEYCHELLES: Restaurant Review: Bodamier Cafe and Bar

Re-launched, revamped and ready for you 

Your favourite hideaway in the heart of Victoria is back in the hands of its original owners and has returned to offer customers an escape from the busy city streets. After a change of ownership failed due to licensing issues, Kellie and Martin of Martin Hoarau Hairdressing decided to re-launch a fresh new Bodamier and continue offering the public great meals and an array of beverages from their quiet courtyard setting at Del Vega Mansion on Revolution Avenue (same building as the hair salon).

So what has changed? First thing you will notice is that the interior has been redesigned. Furnishings have been rearranged and the courtyard now has a

SEYCHELLES: A hike to Port Glaud Waterfall

Looking for something to do on a sunny day in Seychelles? Why not get some friends together and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. A great day’s fun can be had visiting the Port Glaud Waterfall, which offers visitors magnificent scenery and a great place to swim. It is not really a hike either, as it is only a short and comfortable walk to the base of the main waterfall, and therefore does not require an athlete’s level of fitness to enjoy its cool waters.

SEYCHELLES: Restaurant Review: Chilli Bar and Restaurant

Chill Bar and Restaurant - set on the La Misère road at Belle Vue on Mahé - has long been a favourite among Seychellois and visitors alike. Recently taken under new management this staple of the dining scene in Seychelles is going from strength-to-strength as it fine tunes the elements that make it such a  special experience eating there.

One of the biggest changes has been the change from a “steak-house” offering traditional

SEYCHELLES: Restaurant Review: La Plaine St. André

The restaurant at La Plaine St. André is housed in the main building of a heritage site that was originally established as a planter’s homestead over 200 years ago. An opportunity to dine amidst this pristinely preserved piece of living history is an honour in itself, even before you have even put the first bite of La Plaine St. Andre’s delicious cuisine to your lips.

ETHIOPIA: Gondar - History and Heritage

“ Ish, ish” ( “ok, ok” to you and me) says the old man in response to my request.  As his hand strikes the centuries old cowhide and the drum thump echoes against the walls of the ancient church, a tingle rises up my spine as goose-bumps break out on my skin.  Standing in the majesty of this centuries old place of worship, listening to the rhythm

ETHIOPIA: Debre Zeit - The Five Lakes District

05:30 a.m. The shrill of my alarm yanks me from a deep, sweet sleep. Groggy, puffy-eyed, I’m not quite sure where I am or why I am being woken up . . . then it hits me! Ethiopia! I snap out of bed, and in an instant my shoes are on my feet and my camera is in my hands, and I’m scampering out of the door to make sure I don’t miss it.

ETHIOPIA: Addis Ababa - Ethiopia's 'New Flower'

“Ameseginalehu”, I say as another bright eyed Abyssinian goddess hands me my third ice cold ‘St Georges’ beer in the warm midday sun.  She smiles a laugh, not mocking my mispronounced and accented version of the Amharic for ‘thank-you’, but in a humble kindness that I have become so accustomed to in Ethiopia. I turn to leave with

ETHIOPIA: An overview and introduction

Ethiopia is internationally stigmatised by the devastating famine that claimed the lives of over 1 million of its people during the mid-1980s. So strong were the images and stories from that catastrophe that they still resonate almost 30 years later in the minds of many who have not yet had the privilege of visiting the country.  But this is not the
