Welcome to Helen in Wonderlust!
I love travelling all over the world, but Africa has my heart. I first started travelling 2009 and haven’t stopped since, seeking out incredible landscapes, wildlife, culture, authentic experiences, and adventures off the beaten path.
On Helen in Wonderlust, you’ll find practical Africa travel guides, detailed itineraries, packing tips, and personal stories from over 16 years exploring the continent.
I also run small-group adventures through my tour company Rock My Adventure, designed to help you experience the very best of Africa.
