Strolling through narrow, cobbled streets, ones you’ve been dreaming of for months. Tucking in to a feast for dinner, fish so fresh it would’ve been caught that day… Europe’s islands offer […]
What’s one of the best things about travelling? Tasting amazing local food and drinks of course! Getting a taste for a destination through trying one of their traditional dishes is the perfect way to immerse yourself in a new culture and bring home memories, new recipes (and potentially a few extra kg’s) to always remember […]
Written by Peregrine Travel Centre Team Member Adriana. Everyone has different opinions and preferences when it comes to taking a holiday. There’s no right or wrong way to see the world, and each experience is unique. I’ve been lucky enough to do two group tours in the last 6 years. My first was a 17 […]
The words ‘African safari’ conjure up images of trumpeting elephants, impalas mid-leap and open-topped four-wheel drives hurtling down dusty roads. Heading into the wilds on a guided safari is one of the most exciting and memorable experiences a traveller can have. That first sight of a giraffe emerging from the bushes or a pride of […]

How many people have spent countless hours in between flights just waiting for their next plane?

Original blog post featured on The Journal by Intrepid Travel. Soon, store shelves will be brimming with kissing teddy bears, heart-shaped chocolate boxes and other novelty marketing gimmicks designed to make single people weep. Yes, Valentine’s Day is here again. But although February 14 has become synonymous with Hallmark in many parts of the world, not every culture […]
This week we are celebrating Australia and all the beautiful destinations we have available to us in our own backyard. The world is a magical place, with so much to see and experience, that sometimes we forget just how much variety and how many beautiful destinations we have in our own amazing country. It’s great […]
Travelling alone doesn’t mean you have to travel alone. One of the best ways I’ve found to explore a country, during my two years of solo travel, is to join a tour group.

A mountain gorilla trek often comes second on travel Bucket Lists to a classic Big 5 game drive in Kruger or Serengeti National Park.

They’re the legacy of the most sophisticated and formidable people ever to dominate Central America: These pyramids, temples, holy places and sacrificial sites attract the curious minds […]

Unfortunately, all too often, the need for a unique travel experience and a great profile pic is put before animal welfare.

It reads like a quiz question: “What capital city has streets named after Charles De Gaulle, Mao Tse Tung, Tito, Pasteur, and Jawaharlal Nehru?”. In case the headline didn’t give it away, it’s Phnom Penh. In this city, which walks in the present while shrouded in shadows of its past, you’ll find enough history to keep […]
JULY 2016 | WORDS BY ELLENA JOHNSTONE FROM INSIDER JOURNEYS NOW IS THE TIME TO EXPLORE MYANMAR. From temple-strewn plains to golden stupas, floating gardens to colonial gems, Myanmar has so much to see and experience. Yet there is no denying the country is changing, and our advice is simple – it’s time to go. […]
India has a reputation as one of the most beautiful and, frankly, bizarre countries on the planet. But it’s also got a reputation, rightly or wrongly, as a slightly dangerous place for women to travel alone. Now we’ve never had any problems on our group tours in India (our guides know all the areas to […]
Our favourite show that we definitely paid for and obtained legally is back for its fifth season: Game of Thrones (aka The Saga of Peter Dinklage). For those who have been listing their address as ‘under a rock’ for the last few years, Game of Thrones is a fantasy television series based on the ludicrously […]
