Today, while the world is reeling in a state of uncertainty, we know that as night turns to day, the fear and anxiety that we are all experiencing now, will pass. While many of our spring and summer journeys have been postponed or cancelled, we are working very hard every day on creating exciting programs for when the time is right. We understand that like us, you have that insatiable desire to experience this wonderful world of ours. As travellers, we know that travel enriches our lives through new experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.

During this time of uncertainty, the South Africa Soup Kitchen that Craig Travel and our travellers support is struggling. Many of our Craig Travellers make monetary donations when visiting during our tours of South Africa, but with the current travel restrictions, tourists are no longer visiting and helping this important cause.

We asked our Staff to share some of their favourite international dishes to help spice up your weekly dinner routine. Whether it's a dish that was savoured while travelling, a taste of home, or simply a well-loved dish, we hope these recipes inspire you to try something new!

Jallof Rice

“This rice recipe comes from Nigeria and is a favourite of mine. Cooking the rice with tomatoes and peppers makes it fragrant and deepens the flavor. ”

It is remarkable how much life can change in such a short time.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has changed the face of travel on a global scale. Governments and communities around the world are taking stronger action to limit the spread and flatten the curve. Orders for staying at home, complete lock downs, and states of emergency are quickly becoming the norm. Our government has issued a level 3 avoid all non-essential travel advisory for all international travel and just recently, the long awaited Oberammergau Passion Play performances have been postponed until 2022.
