Welcome to On Location for February. It has always been our policy to visit and thoroughly explore a particular area before we recommend it to others. On Location is a first hand account of some recent journeys made by our staff.
...the fish is fresher, the grass is greener and the sea is definitely bluer off the coast of Northern Mozambique.
On entering the terminal I was surprised to see not only a Welsh greeting but a dinosaur.

I have to say I thought Wahiba Sands were amazing when I'd visited previously but nothing had prepared me for the sheer vastness of the desert wilderness of the aptly named Empty Quarter.

What I hadn't really expected was the abundance of fantastic birds, wildlife, the never-ending stunning scenery, the endless welcoming smiles and children waving along the roadside.
