On safari in South Africa there are two people with me for every trip – Jabu the spotter and Skigh the ranger. The two couldn’t be from more different backgrounds.

What a hoot: Tokyo Owl Cafe

You may know of cat cafes but what about the latest trend in Tokyo – owl cafes? Spend an hour holding and patting these magnificent birds. Only in Japan!
