🇿🇦 The countdown is finally over… today we set off for South Africa! ✈️

For both Dave and I, this is a true bucket list adventure and one we’ve been looking forward to for many months. The excitement has been building for what feels like forever, and we honestly can’t believe the day is finally here!

While we’re away, you’ll still see plenty of scheduled travel posts appearing on the page, so there’ll still be lots of inspiration, tips and holiday ideas to enjoy. However, if you’re looking for a last-minute deal or a late getaway, this is one occasion where I won’t be able to help. I’m making a conscious decision to be fully present, soak up every moment and enjoy this incredible experience.

We may share a few highlights along the way on our Stories, so if you’d like to follow our adventure, keep an eye out. From safari game drives, stunning scenery to rugby! We can’t wait to experience everything South Africa has to offer.

This is quite possibly our biggest travel adventure yet, and I’m already looking forward to sharing all our photos, stories and recommendations with you when we’re back.

If you have any travel enquiries, please feel free to email them over while I’m away. I’ll pick everything up when normal service resumes on 7th September.

Finally, I just want to say thank you. ❤️

This has been an incredible year for Always Dreaming Travel, and it’s all because of the amazing support from you our wonderful clients and followers. Every booking, recommendation, like, comment and share means more than you know, and we never take your support for granted. We truly appreciate each and every one of you.

But for now… it’s time to swap my laptop for a safari jeep.

South Africa, here we come! 🇿🇦🦁🐘

As we finish packing our own suitcases, we’re delighted to share this fabulous review from a client’s recent trip to Lake Garda. 🇮🇹☀️

It’s always so wonderful to hear that a client has had such a fantastic stay, especially in such a beautiful destination. And that rooftop pool sounds like somewhere we definitely need to visit ourselves! 🏊‍♀️😍

Being able to play even a small part in helping people create their own travel memories is incredibly special to us, and something we truly treasure. ❤️

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful review and photos. We’re absolutely delighted you had such a memorable trip! ✨

Here’s to many more adventures and memories to come! ✈️🌍

Two years ago today, we were partway through our six-week adventure driving from south to north along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way 🇮🇪❤️

This video was taken at the beautiful Bridge of Ross, and it was the start of one of those days that stays firmly implanted in your memories forever.

We travelled along the coast, stopping at various points along the way, including the breathtaking Kilkee Cliffs, before continuing on to the Cliffs of Moher.

And WOW… what a day! 😳🌊

The Cliffs of Moher gave us the windiest walk of my life! Luckily, we had left Tilly safely in the motorhome because we were having enough trouble keeping ourselves upright, never mind a little dog! 😂

At the time, parts of it were, I will admit, slightly terrifying, but now those moments are the ones we laugh about. And the views? Absolutely, completely breathtaking. ❤️

We were also lucky enough at the time to visit the Cliffs of Moher from what was then the unofficial end — something I believe is no longer an option. And as we continued north, we encountered the only traffic jam we saw during our entire time in Ireland… and it genuinely reminded us of driving past Stonehenge! 😂

One day. So many memories.

And that is exactly why we love to travel. Not just for the places we visit, but for the moments we create, the stories we collect and the memories we get to treasure and talk about forever. ❤️

And tomorrow… we set off for SOUTH AFRICA! 🇿🇦🦁🌍

Time really is our most precious commodity, and that is why we choose to travel and live the way we do.

You don’t have to travel five-star to explore the world. You don’t need to spend a fortune. Our wish is simply for people to travel, to explore, to see the incredible beauty that is all around us and, most importantly, to have those precious moments with the people you love.

Because one day, it won’t be the ‘things’ you remember.

It will be the places you went, the things you saw, the people you shared them with… and the stories you still tell years later. ❤️

Here’s to creating many more memories. 🇿🇦✨

✨🎶 BATTLE PROMS AT HIGHCLERE CASTLE 🎆🏰

You may recall that several months ago, I advertised the Battle Proms at Highclere Castle. At the time, it looked like such a wonderful event that I knew I’d enjoy myself — and I wasn’t wrong!

It promised a spectacular summer evening in the beautiful grounds of the world-famous Downton Abbey filming location. We’ve visited Highclere Castle before, so the opportunity to return for such a special event seemed like the perfect fit.

And what a weekend it was! ❤️

Our break included our overnight stay, flags, programme and tickets to the Proms — and quite possibly the best picnic I have ever tasted! 🧺😋

We set off with our trolley packed with chairs and everything we needed for the evening. The weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was incredible, and there was so much to enjoy.

✨ A spectacular Spitfire display
🐎 Cavalry events
🎶 Orchestral music and plenty of sing-alongs
🎆 A breathtaking fireworks spectacular
💥 And, of course, the dramatic finale — the live cannon firing during the 1812 Overture!

The orchestra were simply outstanding, and the whole evening had those moments where you just sit back and think, “WOW.”

I knew this would be an event my family would enjoy, but for my lovely mum, it was something she will truly cherish. ❤️

This time, Mum and I were joined by my brother and sister-in-law from Norfolk, which made the whole experience even more special. There’s something rather lovely about creating memories together across generations.

And this is exactly why I love travel. 🌍❤️

You don’t always have to jet off to exotic shores to make fantastic memories. Sometimes the most memorable trips are right here in the UK, enjoying an incredible experience with the people you love.

So, because we enjoyed it so much, I’ll be advertising the Battle Proms at Highclere Castle again for 2027 — and quite possibly attending again myself! 😉

If you’re looking for something a little different, why not consider a multi-generational getaway where the experience is the main event and so much is taken care of?

All you need to do is turn up with your chairs and your own drinks — and enjoy! 🥂

A memorable weekend away can potentially be much more affordable than you might first think, while creating memories that will last far longer than the trip itself. ❤️

📩 If this sounds like something you’d love to experience in 2027, get in touch with me at Always Dreaming Travel and I’ll be happy to keep you updated.
