I used to live in Cape Town over 20 years ago and agree that it IS a beautiful part of the world but that was before I was disabled. I have been to a Game Camp in South Africa called Kirkman’s Kamp. We stayed there for 3 nights and found the camp staff incredibly helpful 😀. As I’m able to stand I was able to get into the seat of the Range…

I have lived in London for 24 years and been a wheelchair user for 17 of those years, and I remember being afraid to travel on the train to Central London (as I live in Teddington, a suburb of London).

I have been on 2 cruises since I became a wheelchair user, the first cruise was to the Norwegian Fjords on Queen Victoria which is a Cunard ship and I found our cabin incredibly comfortable, I didn’t get off the ship except in Bergen when I got off the ship and just went to the quayside. The 2nd ship was a P&O Cruise along the Iberian…

I have only been to Kenya once in 2017 and we stayed at Angama (this is their website https://angama.com/). They created a wheelchair accessible tent specifically for me as I used to work for the now owners before I had my stroke which unfortunately left me in a wheelchair. We spent a wonderful 4 days there and saw so much wildlife it…
