Welcome to Helen in Wonderlust!
Hi, I’m Helen!
I love to travel all over the world, but it’s Africa that holds a special place in my heart. I started backpacking the continent in 2009 and I haven’t stopped!
My mission in life is to is to help people travel Africa in an authentic, safe, fun, adventurous and ethical way – through this blog, my tour company, Rock My Adventure, and my book, The Independent Traveller’s Guide to Backpacking Africa.
To help you plan your trips to Africa (as well as plenty of other destinations) check out my guides below.
