Travel Diaries: Victoria Falls (Zambia & Zimbabwe)

Welcome to the second stop on our African travel diaries!  Our second stop: The Victoria Falls, Zambia & Zimbabwe These magnificent waterfalls lay on the Zambezi River, and they also form the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Victoria Falls are these astonishing waterfalls that spray more than five hundred cubic meters of water every minute! Now all that water goes down into the beautiful river that travels the water throughout the southeastern part of Africa.  Now, in order to watch nature’s incredible creation, you have two options. Firstly, either you can go across the falls to where this natural basalt cliff will show you the most pic-perfect sight of the falls. Or, secondly, your better option would be to go to the Knife-Edge Bridge which is located above the Zambezi River to capture an amazing view. Well, however you decide to view these falls is up to you. But, what are you waiting for? To check out some more info about the Victoria Falls, ch

Travel Diaries: The Great Sphinx (Giza, Egypt)

Okay, now there’s no way that one travels to Giza and looks at the pyramids without stopping and looking at the Great Sphinx of Giza! That’s outrageous!!! So, obviously since our last stop was the Pyramids of Giza, our next stop is the Great Sphinx!  Like the pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx is also one of the most astonishing attractions within the African continent. Even though many people think that the sphinx is a cat, according to Joshua Mark, the sculpture is actually of a recumbent lion with the head of an Egyptian king. Interesting, huh? Yep, this humungous sculpture was made out of limestone and most likely during the reign of King Khafre (which would be within 2558-2532 B.C.E). But theirs is no set date to when exactly the sphinx was created; every historian has their own argument and assumption.  Moreover, some historians say that the sphinx also reminded Greek writers of the sphinx represented in the tragedy of Oedipus. You know what, there will always b

Travel Diaries: Djemma El Fan (Marrakesh, Morocco)

As we continue our wonderful adventure across Africa, we now stop at Djemaa el Fna in Morocco! This wonderful and exciting town square is exactly what one needs to experience just to see that African culture. Trust me, if you don’t stop here, you’ll be missing out on all the African culture and vibes.  Think of this place as the lively downtown of a huge city. This town square is located in Marrakesh’s medina quarter. There’s so much to witness and see in this square! There are snake-charmers (not something you see everyday), henna-painters, storytellers, date-sellers, multiple vendors. Plus as the day goes by and the night begins to fall, tribal drummers, lady-boy dancers, and restaurateurs begin to come and stay throughout midnight.  Plus, isn’t it interesting that the food stalls only begin to appear once the sun begins to set. These Moroccan vibes and atmosphere throughout this town square is exactly what you’ll desire. So what are you waiting for? Get going! Mo
