Destination Djibouti

Touted as Africa’s Dubai, Djibouti is filled with perplexing landscapes meriting inclusion in The Planet of the Apes. Chimneys steaming hot air from underground volcanic lava, tectonic plates that clash and whale sharks in season. A small spec of a country in the Gulf of Aden waiting to be discovered by the avid explorers.

Placing Tibet, Laos and Djibouti on the same travel list?

Posted: February 4, 2015

As always, my plans for the year in travel include a host of random, incongruent and remote destinations with a luxury twist. If it isn’t out of the ordinary, it is unlikely to feature on my plan!
