Into the Heart of East Africa A 10-Day Safari in Kenya & Tanzania

As someone who has been fortunate enough to travel extensively across the world, few destinations have captivated me quite like East Africa. Kenya and Tanzania offer a rare blend of untamed wilderness, breathtaking landscapes, and the kind of luxury that feels seamlessly woven into nature. For discerning travelers seeking both adventure and indulgence, I would highly recommend the following 10-day itinerary — a journey that captures the very essence of Africa in comfort and style.

Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi — Gateway to the Wild

Touching down in Nairobi, Kenya, you’ll be met by your private transfer and whisked away to your luxury city hotel for a restful night. This first evening sets the tone: fine cuisine, perhaps a cocktail overlooking the Nairobi skyline, and the anticipation of what lies ahead.

Day 2: Fly to the legendary plains of the Maasai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, a light charter flight leads you to one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. Settle into your ultra-luxury tented camp or lodge — where soaring acacia silhouettes greet you. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive: lions, elephants, perhaps watching a herd of buffalo amble by. The Mara is famed for its abundant wildlife and dramatic vistas.

Day 3: Full Safari Day in Maasai Mara

Rise early for a dawn game drive when the light is soft and the predators are active. Mid-morning, perhaps enjoy a bush breakfast in the wilderness. The afternoon gives you time to relax by the lodge pool or enjoy a spa treatment, before a late afternoon drive. This rhythm of adventure and indulgence is the hallmark of luxury safari life.

Day 4: Journey to Tanzania — Enter the Serengeti National Park

Today you cross into Tanzania, flying into the vast sweeping plains of the Serengeti. The change in landscape is striking: endless horizon, vast herds, timeless African wilderness. You’ll check into a premium lodge or camp in the heart of the park. Evening game drive or sundowner overlooking the plains.

Day 5: Exploring the Serengeti’s Great Wildlife Drama

A full day in the Serengeti, with morning and afternoon drives. Depending on the time of year, you may witness part of the famed migration, or simply enjoy high densities of predators and plains game. For the luxury traveller: private picnic lunches under a solitary tree, an optional hot-air balloon ride at dawn, or a walking safari with your expert guide.

Day 6: Travel to the Ngorongoro Crater or another nearby reserve

Leaving the Serengeti behind, you cross into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Your lodge may be perched on the rim of the crater, offering panoramic views of one of the greatest natural amphitheatres in the world. Afternoon at leisure, perhaps a short walk or sundowner on the rim.

Day 7: Game Drive in Ngorongoro — Big Five & Beyond

Descend into the crater early morning for a half-day game drive. With extraordinary concentrations of wildlife, it’s one of the most productive places in Africa. Expect rhino, elephant, lion, buffalo and more — within dramatic volcanic terrain. Afternoon return up to the lodge for relaxation and perhaps a bush dinner under the stars.

Day 8: Transfer to the Amboseli National Park (Kenya) or Coastal Extension

Today you might fly or drive into Amboseli, renowned for its sweeping views of Mount Kilimanjaro, herds of elephants and wide open plains. The lodge you stay in will cater to the luxury traveller: private veranda, fine dining, and spa.

Day 9: Amboseli Safari & Sundowners

Morning game drive with Kilimanjaro as your backdrop. You may choose a walking safari, or visit a local Maasai village for cultural insight. Afternoon at the lodge enjoying poolside views, sunset cocktails, and the sound of the bush settling in.

Day 10: Return to Nairobi & Departure

After a final early morning safari, you’ll depart Amboseli and return to Nairobi for your onward flight. A final lunch at a refined city venue before saying farewell to East Africa — memories made, stories ready to be re-told.

My Insider Tips

Best time to go: June to October for the Great Migration and ideal safari conditions.
Packing: Neutral layers, a light jacket for early mornings, strong sun protection, and quality binoculars.
Flights: Charter flights between lodges streamline your itinerary — remember luggage limits are often smaller.
Health & safety: Consult your travel clinic for recommended vaccines and malaria prophylaxis.
Sustainability: We work with lodges that support local communities and conservation.
Photography: Ask about lodges with professional camera gear or guided photo safaris.

4 days in London - things to do - itinerary

London is one of the world’s most dynamic and cosmopolitan cities, yet it remains a place of pageantry and tradition. Get a taste of that tradition as you are escorted through the city by a member of our team. You will get an overview tour of London's most iconic royal sites, hop aboard the London Eye for a bird's-eye view of the city and spend half a day visiting Windsor Castle.

DAY 1 : LONDON

You will be welcomed at Heathrow airport by a member of our team as you exit customs, and will transfer to your hotel, with assistance during check-in.

DAY 2 : LONDON

Our guide help you find your bearings with a half-day orientation tour of London. Drive past sites such as the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey and Trafalgar Square. Get a spectacular panorama of the city on the London Eye, the world's largest cantilevered observation wheel, located on the South Bank of the Thames River.

DAY 3 : WINDSOR DAY TRIP

Travel west out of London with your guide and private vehicle to visit Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. With a history spanning nearly 1,000 years, it was the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II and her preferred weekend home. Subject to opening restrictions, you may see the State Apartments, St. George's Chapel and Queen Mary's Dolls' House. The castle ramparts offer excellent views of Eton College.

DAY 4 : LONDON

Today is at your leisure, but here are things we would suggest you do:

Tate Modern

London’s art scene was revolutionised by the opening of Tate Modern in 2000, housed within the vast former Bankside Power Station. After a visit, I like to take the 15-minute trip along the Thames aboard the Tate Boat to Tate Britain, London’s principal collection of British art, which contains major works by Turner, Constable and Gainsborough, as well as those by contemporary masters such as Henry Moore and Francis Bacon.

Floris

One of our favorite London shops is Floris, a bespoke perfume store and an invaluable source of gifts for women. Sometimes I also indulge in the "No. 89" aftershave, the preferred fragrance of James Bond.

Daunt Books

London’s independent bookshops have found life difficult in the age of Amazon. Fortunately, many remain in business, though doubtless with their profit margins reduced.

Covent Garden

Covent Garden is in the West End, London’s main theatre and entertainment area. Tourists fill its elegant, car-free Piazza, home to fashion stores, crafts at the Apple Market and the Royal Opera House. Street entertainers perform by 17th-century St. Paul’s Church, and the London Transport Museum houses vintage vehicles.

DAY 5 : DEPART LONDON

Meet your driver and guide and transfer in the comfort of your private luxury vehicle to Heathrow airport, where you will be assisted with check-in.

Staycation? - Beautiful Lake District

Like me, many tourists love visiting the Lake District National Park for its spectacular scenery, wildlife, history and culture. With beautiful villages, cute pubs and luxury places to stay, it’s perfect for exploring during the day followed by delicious food and wonderful hospitality.

My top things to do:

1. Visit Lake Windermere

2. Visit Derwent

3. Admire the views from Helvellyn

4. Visit Wordsworth Grasmere, Dove Cottage

5. Go star gazing
Cumbria has some of the darkest skies in the whole of the UK, which means on a clear night you could be standing amongst the stars.

6. Stroll around Lake Buttermere

The Lake District is quite simply breathtaking and we are here to help create the most wonderful memories for you. Contact us for more information or assistance with any travel plans.

GALWAY, IRELAND

GALWAY, IRELAND 2020’s European Capital of Culture

This year, Ireland’s effervescent west-coast city will throw its arms open wide to the world as it becomes the 2020 European Capital of Culture.

With its glut of traditional pubs spilling out jaunty bodhrán and fiddle music, the bohemian city has spent 2019 testing new community heritage and arts projects, such as pop-up culture cafés and funambulism (tightrope-walking) workshops. But the best is yet to come, with some terrific events being rolled out across Galway’s pubs, hubs and beaches, including new artworks by David Best (of Burning Man fame) and a series of intimate readings of Homer’s Odyssey (using Emily Wilson’s English translation, the first by a woman) on Galway’s blustery beaches. Margaret Atwood will also take part in the city’s International Women’s Day celebrations in March.

Galway’s designation as a 2018 European Region of Gastronomy has already cemented it as a fizzing foodie hub. The brilliantly beardy JP McMahon is Galway’s most high-profile chef, earning the city its first Michelin star in 2012. He’s also the man behind the annual Food on the Edge symposium to explore the future of food – next taking place in late October 2019 – which draws in big names such as Nathan Outlaw and Skye Gyngell. The ambitiously modern Loam has joined McMahon’s 24-cover Aniar as one of only two Michelin-starred joints in the city, but it’s what’s happening away from the notebooks of the Michelin inspectors that’s most exciting.

Galway is home to the world’s longest-running oyster festival (65 years of shucking so far), which also sees the World Oyster Opening Championships whip up competitive fervour among shellfish enthusiasts. You’ll find local Dooncastle and Flaggy Shore oysters (as well as natural wines and exquisite seaweed shortbread) served up at McMahon’s latest terroir-based opening, Tartare. And in nearby Burren, an hour away from the city, a raft of local producers are really bolstering Galway’s gourmet credentials, with a focus on fish-smoking, cheese-making and small-batch brewing (and look out for Burren wildflower honey at Galway’s Saturday market, too).

Unsurprisingly, the city – which is also a mid-point stop along the glorious 1550-mile Wild Atlantic Way driving route – will welcome a clutch of new hotel openings this year.

I’ve been going to Galway my whole life and would highly recommend. With my extensive network I’m able to offer stunning itineraries, bespoke tours and the finest hotels.

My recent trip to stunning Santorini - A must visit

The contrasting rocky headlands and volcanic beaches create a visually exciting landscape on Santorini. This iconic Greek island is home to distinctive architecture, brilliant blue-domed churches and steep volcanic cliffs dropping into turquoise blue depths.

On the mountainous side of the island you will find ancient archaeological sites, superb vineyards and romantic hideaways. The other – charming beaches, glistening sea and a surprisingly vibrant nocturnal scene. It’s perhaps this delightful variety that makes Santorini attractive to so many people, from adventurous culture lovers to families seeking sunshine and relaxation. Also, don’t miss a trip over to Nea Kameni volcano, where you can submerge and relax in the natural hot springs – a truly delightful experience

Places to visit

Oia

A picturesque town on the north west tip of the island, Oia is famous for its beautiful blue-domed churches. The town is ideally located to view the spectacular sunsets on the western side, but beware it gets very busy around this time of day. Like most of Santorini’s villages, the beautiful whitewashed houses are carved directly into the cliff-face, with a path winding down to the former fishing village of Ammoudi below. You can find delightful little boutiques here, selling crafty gifts and trinkets.

Fira

The largest town on Santorini, 900 feet above the coastline, is a bustling metropolis during the summer months. Take a stroll through the shopping district, with boutiques and craft shops in abundance. Stop off at a friendly taverna and have a glass of the local wine and bite to eat. There are excellent bakeries in Fira selling delicious sweets and pastries, and you should definitely try the melitinia, a sweet cheese pastry. You will find all the best nightlife in Fira, so look out for clubs as they are often tucked away.

Kamari

Kamari is a cosmopolitan beach resort, on the southeast of the island, ideal for families looking for a relaxing seaside break. Lying under the guard of Mesa Vouno mountain, this long stretch of beach offers a different style to the villages above. The promenade has some great bars, shops and restaurants, and some lively nightlife too. Redevelopment of Kamari started in 1956, after an earthquake all but flattened the town. As an old fishing village, the tavernas serve mouth-watering grilled fish and seafood, a staple in the Aegean.

Imerovigli

Known for its tranquillity, and for its sublime sunsets, Imerovigli will take your breath away. Whitewashed buildings dot the landscape and beautiful churches dominate the skyline. There is an air of luxury and some of our best hotels are in Imerovigli, like the Iconic Santorini. The highest part of the island, it commands spectacular views of the volcano and the rest of the island. Nearby Skaros Rock was once the governing force of Santorini, but now is just an impressive but deserted castle.

Perissa & Perivelos

These adjoined seaside resorts are perfect for those looking for a bit more nightlife. Both beaches have bars, loungers and lifeguards, as well as black sand and midnight blue depths. The nightlife here is more akin to Mykonos, rather than the sleepy villages among the mountains of Santorini. At night you will see the transformation with cocktail bars, restaurants and clubs coming to life. The stunning blue-domed Church of Timiou Stavrou can be found in Perissa Square, which is well worth a visit.

Akrotiri & Megalochori

Alongside the spellbinding ancient ruins at Akrotiri there is a quaint little village boasting some of the best views in Santorini. In the medieval period, Akrotiri was one of five fortified towns and the castle here is a great place to visit, although it was damaged in the earthquake of 1956. Further along the coast towards Fira, you will find Megalochori, where vineyards dominate the landscape. The centre square is a meeting place for locals, to drink fine wine and play backgammon in the afternoon sun.

Day trips from Naples

In Southern Italy, along its western coast, is the city of Naples. Founded by the Greeks more than 2,6000 years ago, this is a city with a staggering amount of history. Although Naples is one of the biggest cities in Italy, it has a more authentic, less touristy vibe than other places like Rome or Florence. Naples is packed with attractions to keep you busy, but it is also worth exploring beyond the city. These day trips from Naples are all wonderful options for exploring the best of Southern Italy.

Map of day trips from Naples

9. Paestum

To reach Paestum, drive about 90 minutes along the Italian coast. This ancient Greek settlement is a history lover’s dream destination, and it is where you can find the largest collection of Greek Doric temples in the entire world. Not all of Paestum has been excavated, but several ruins have been unearthed and are now open to the public. The Temple of Athena is the most popular temple to tour, but don’t leave without also visiting the Paestum Museum. The collection is small, but every exhibit and artifact is impressive. Be sure to see the Grace Chamber and its gorgeous frescoes on your visit.

Getting to Paestum

· As direct trains run from Naples Central Station to Paestum Station, it is very easy to visit the spectacular ruins, and it only takes an hour and a half in total to get there. While the cheapest tickets only cost seven euros one way, trains don’t run very frequently, so it is a good idea to check the schedule in advance. Once you arrive, you’ll see signs pointing you to all the main sights.

· Driving is just as simple and means you could then drive back to Naples via the breathtakingly beautiful Amalfi Coast. From the city center, head southeast on the A3 and keep on it until Salerno. Here, you want to transfer on to the SP175, which will take you all the way to Paestum. With glorious views of the Mediterranean to your right, it is a lovely drive that takes around an hour and a half.

8. Sorrento

An hour’s drive south of Naples will take you to Sorrento, a beautiful town with a scenic port, popular beaches and fantastic eateries. Work up an appetite at the Marina Piccola, the busiest and most sandy of the local beaches. Then, learn a little more about Sorrento with a stroll through the Museo Correale di Terranova, which is packed with an extensive art collection, or tour the local Duomo, or cathedral. Don’t leave without indulging in the filling baked pasta dish called Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. For dessert, a scoop of gelato is refreshing on a hot day, and the local specialty features fresh pieces of citrus fruits.

Getting to Sorrento

· From Napoli Garibaldi, it takes roughly an hour to get to Sorrento by Circumvesuviana train. The views of the Gulf of Naples as you go are astounding. Once you arrive, it is just a short walk to the center. After having seen Sorrento, you could visit the picturesque Positano, which is a 40-minute bus ride away.

· While it is only 50 kilometers to Sorrento from Naples, it still takes around an hour to an hour and a half by car, depending on traffic. Head southeast out of the city center and take the A3 until Pompeii, where you turn off and follow the SS145 all the way to Sorrento. The coastal roads boast breathtaking views, and going by car means you can continue on to visit the Amalfi Coast, which is home to lovely towns such as Positano and Amalfi.

· To make the most of your time in this beautiful part of Italy, you may want to consider taking a guided tour that takes you to see some of the best places along the Amalfi Coast. As you can tailor the tour, you can choose to visit Sorrento, alongside picturesque towns such as Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello – each of which has its own delightful look and unique charm. Well worth the cost, it is one of the best ways to see as much of the wonderful Amalfi Coast as possible in one day.

7. Ischia

Off the coast of Italy, in the Bay of Naples, is the island of Ischia. This makes for a wonderful day trip from Naples that takes you away from the city and to a getaway destination. While it feels like a world away, it is actually just a short boat journey between Naples and Ischia. Once you arrive, you’ll want to see Castello Aragonese, a 15th century castle you can reach via a scenic stone bridge. The thermal springs of Ischia are known around the world, and you can tour some of these ancient springs or enjoy spa treatments featuring the mineral rich mud from the area.

Getting to Ischia

· To get to Ischia from Naples by ferry takes an hour to an hour and a half, depending on if you take a fast or slow ferry; the former departs from Molo Beverello and the latter from Calata Porta di Massa. Ferries leave very regularly, though it is a good idea to check the schedule in advance, as times vary depending on the weather, season, and tides. From the port in Ischia, you can take small buses or taxis if you want to visit some of the other small towns that dot the island.

6. Procida

Procida is another of the popular islands in the Bay of Naples. Although it is the smallest island in the bay, it still offers a lot to those who enjoy archaeology and ancient history. While Procida is part of Italy, it has a distinctly Greek feel, particularly when it comes to local architecture. In Terra Murata, you can see historic buildings, few of which have been restored or renovated. The port of Corricella is another popular spot, because it is still an authentic fishing port. Procida’s many seafood restaurants are filled with the catch brought in each day by local anglers.

Getting to Procida

· Ferries run very frequently to the charming island of Procida from both of Naples’ ports. High-speed ferries leave from Molo Beverello, taking around 40 minutes to arrive in Procida, while slower and cheaper ones depart from Calata Porta di Massa. Once you arrive, you can either take a bus or taxi to explore the rest of the island.

5. Herculaneum

A mere 11 km (7 miles) south of Naples is Herculaneum, archeological site with incredible significance. Nearly 2,000 years ago, when Mt. Vesuvius famously erupted and destroyed Pompeii, Herculaneum was also destroyed. While it doesn’t have the same name recognition as Pompeii, it is just as fascinating to tour. Many structures are still unbelievably preserved, including ancient baths, the House of Neptune and Amphitrite and the College of the Augustales. Of particular note are the gorgeous, colorful mosaics in the House of Neptune and Amphitrite that would look at home in a modern museum, despite being nearly two millennia old.

Getting to Herculaneum

· It is very fast and easy to visit Herculaneum from Naples by public transport; you could arrive in as little as 15 minutes. From Napoli Garibaldi, embark on a ten-minute train ride and alight at Ercolano Scavi. From here, you’ll see signs pointing you to the fantastic archaeological site which is just a five-minute walk away. As Pompeii is only 20 minutes further along the same train line, you could visit both historical sites in just one day.

· If you’re looking to learn more about the history of both Herculaneum and Pompeii, you may want to consider joining a guided tour that takes you around both archaeological sites. An expert guide will tell you all about Mount Vesuvius’ 79AD eruption and explain the ruins, monuments, and fossils you come across in this fact-filled and enjoyable day trip.

4. Mount Vesuvius

It is not hard to spot Mt. Vesuvius from Naples. The volcano is easily visible from most places in the city, creating a dramatic backdrop to the Bay of Naples. Although visiting sites like Pompeii can be wonderful, don’t forget to actually check out the volcano itself. At Mt. Vesuvius, you can actually see the crater of Vesuvius, from which fumes and steam still rise. The summit is also one of the best places to photograph the Bay of Naples. On your way back down, try the local wine known as Lacryma Christi, which is made from grapes grown from the volcanic soil on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius.

Getting to Mount Vesuvius

· The easiest way to visit Mount Vesuvius by public transport from Naples is to take a Circumvesuviana train to Pompei Scavi, then take the EAV bus which takes you up the volcano. All in all, it should take you about an hour to an hour and a half to get there, depending on the train and bus connection. On the way up Vesuvius, the bus stops for a photo opportunity. You’ll be dropped off at the coach park, which is nearer to the summit than the car park.

· Another option is to drive to Mount Vesuvius yourself; this should take you around 40 minutes. Head southeast out of Naples on the A3 and take exit Ercolano, before following Via Vesuvio up the mountainside. You’ll have to pay for parking at the car park, and can then either walk to the summit or take a shuttle bus up to the ticket office. If going by car, you could combine your visit to Vesuvius with a trip to Herculaneum or Pompeii.

· Many visitors decide to take a guided tour, which takes them to see both the incredible ruins of Pompeii and the summit of Mount Vesuvius. With a knowledgeable guide accompanying you, you’ll learn everything there is to know about the fascinating historical sight and peer into the crater at the top of the volcano.

3. Capri

Three miles from the city of Naples is Capri, a stunning island in the Bay of Naples. As far back as Roman times, Capri has been lauded as the ultimate getaway destination. Its Grotta Azzurra, or Blue Grotto, is arguably the most popular attraction on the island, and it is truly a magnificent cave where the luminous turquoise waters appear out of this world. If you’re hoping to escape the crowds, hike some of the paths that wind along the coast, stopping at landmarks like the arch called Arco Naturale as well as several ancient abandoned forts.

Getting to Capri

· To get to Capri from Naples, you’re going to have to take a ferry. The views from the deck are breathtaking; you’ll see the island and the Gulf of Naples before you, and Naples and Mount Vesuvius behind you. High-speed ferries depart from Molo Beverello in Naples. While they are more expensive, they only take 40 minutes. Cheaper and slower ferries depart from Calata Porta di Massa; these take 50 to 80 minutes. As the schedules change regularly, depending on the weather, season, and tides, it is a good idea to check in advance when ferries are leaving. Once you arrive in Capri, you can either take buses or taxis around the island.

· A relaxing and fun-filled way to visit Capri is to take a guided tour to the enticing island. After arriving by jetfoil and enjoying the lovely views on the road, your guide will take you to see fabulous sights such as the Augustus Gardens and the beautiful Blue Grotto. With stops at handicraft stalls, a funicular ride to Marina Grande, and a walk around the town of Anacapri also included, you’ll head back to Naples tired but happy with all that you’ve seen and done.

2. Pompeii

You can get to Pompeii in under half an hour from Naples, making it a quick but scenic day trip. The ruins of this ancient Roman city are world famous due to an unusual form of preservation as a result of a Mt. Vesuvius eruption. Today, you can walk along the original cobblestones and see ancient landmarks like the amphitheater, which was built more than 2,000 years ago and could hold over 20,000 people at its peak. The oldest ruins at Pompeii are found at the Temple of Apollo, which still boasts many of its original 48 columns and is the most important religious site at Pompeii.

Getting to Pompeii

· As Pompeii has three different entrances, you’re going to want to take a train to either Pompei Scavi, Villa dei Misteri station, or Pompei Santuario, depending on where you want to start. The Circumvesuviana train runs to both these stations and usually takes around half-an-hour to get there from either Naples Central Station or Via Ferraris Galileo.

· Driving takes roughly the same amount of time. All you need to do is hop on the A3 heading southeast out of the city center. You’ll pass the looming Mount Vesuvius on your left and have the glittering Gulf of Naples on your right. Once you arrive, follow signs directing you to the archaeological site’s car parks. After taking in Pompeii’s impressive sights, you can then drive to visit Mount Vesuvius or nearby Herculaneum.

1. Amalfi Coast

Boasting Mediterranean fishing villages, spectacular beaches and access to the mountains, the Amalfi Coast is a clear choice for a day trip from Naples. Keep in mind that the Amalfi Coast is a region, so there are lots of small towns and villages worth visiting. There is a town actually called Amalfi, and it offers a gorgeous 10th century cathedral as well as a popular pebble beach. Nearby, in Positano, where the views are a major draw. From several spots, you can see along the coastline, with peaks creating a gorgeous contrast with the traditional architecture and the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Getting to the Amalfi Coast

· There are a couple of ways to visit the Amalfi Coast from Naples by public transport. It will take you approximately two to two and a half hours to get there. One option is to take a bus from Via Ferraris Galileo to Agerola in Bomerano. From here, you can hop on another bus that will take you along the coast to the town of Amalfi, or the beautiful Positano in the other direction.

· You could also take a train from Naples Central Station to Salerno, then catch a bus along the Amalfi Coast, stopping off at picturesque towns as you go.

Another option for visiting the Amalfi Coast is to drive there yourself, stopping off at charming towns such as Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi as you go. To get to the latter from Naples takes about an hour and a half, although this does include toll roads. Simply head southeast on the A3 and follow it all the way to Vietri Sul Mare. You then take the winding SS163 along the coast. While it can be a lovely drive with beautiful sea views on offer, it is important to bear in mind that the road is very narrow and winding and it can get clogged with traffic, especially during the summer months. It can also be difficult trying to find a parking space as these are quite limited.
