Hans Christian Anderson, famous for writing influential fairy tales said, “To travel is to live.”
We agree and are sure it’s rare to meet anyone who disagrees. To travel is to live, for boundless reasons. Travelling reminds you of the immensity of the diversity of the world we live in and of the common humanity we share.
To leave the comfort zone of your daily life is something powerful. It opens your eyes to the differences in how other towns, cities and countries live; some of them tiny, others enormous.
Travelling can slow time down; it can teach you to appreciate what you have, while learning about what’s important to others. To travel teaches you to communicate in other ways, other ways to relax and other ways to live.
Friendliness often outdoes barriers . . .
When travelling, free from the restrictions of work and routine, you will find yourself more open, and more willing to seek out the advice and help of others, whether they be locals or fellow travellers. Friendliness often outdoes barriers such as language, and the friendships you can strike up may surprise you in their strength or how long they last.
We realise that you can’t dump your regular lifestyle to travel but we strongly recommend taking advantage of travelling whenever you can. You will become a smarter, stronger and confident person!

We just got married, it’s been an awesome experience and interesting so far.
We went to different places and toured the town then we went to the pool which was lovely. Then we went to the beach where we did all sorts of water sports like snorkeling, wind surfing and kayaking. We were very comfortable in the water.
We went to Mombasa then fort Jesus and then to Haller Park. It was our first time on a camel, camels are very obedient. We’ve learned that Mombasa has a lot of plantations and plants used for cotton. Mombasa still retains its natural habitation, the heritage has not been tampered with.
The best experience was the rest from all the years of stress.
It is very serene quite environment that helps to achieve much needed rest. The desire and willingness to think and strategise the new year and the serenity and night makes you sleep calmly which is very beautiful.
The Mnarani staff are very friendly. The Food is a feast. Interestingly when we first came here all the food looked strange, it was just fruit and things and we thought “Where do we go from here?“. We were told that we can order Nigerian food. We were then given spaghetti which made more sense.
Then we started to get more comfortable and went out to shops around town for a few things we needed. The staff are interesting and respectful people. You just can’t beat it.
We will definitely, recommend Mnarani to other people, especially to those who want to rest from Lagos stress. Mnarani is very serene, all in comparison with the the beach, swimming pool, the spa is all well taken care of. The Spa is really really relaxing.
VIP Express Tourism Limited is so friendly, when I contacted them and told them I’m trying to plan a honeymoon. They were eager to help. The gave us a few options and told me about Mnarani Club which would be great for a honeymoon experience. And I said like ok!
They helped with the tickets, they did everything! We when got to the airport they called me and made sure that we got to the hotel, making sure we are comfortable. When we got there, they checked and asked if we’re fine. Even today I got a message asking “Are you well rested now?” They don’t just organize everything, they are also interested in your welfare.
Do we go on holiday mostly because we feel exhausted by our jobs, mundane chores, and a longing to change our surroundings? Or maybe to finally visit that country you’ve been wanting to for years? We spend time deciding where we should go and what we enjoy.
Why do we travel?
We enjoy the thoughts of visiting enchanted places that offer
life’s pleasures. We know we are special
and deserve the excitement of being in a glorious destination we’ve dreamt about
seeing. We like the idea of making new friends and being welcomed in lovely
hotels where there are chocolates on the pillows at night and artfully moulded
toiletries in the bathrooms.
Very seldom do we ask, ‘what are we looking for; or do
we perhaps have a wish to get away from ourselves?’ The moment our holiday begins so does the
awesome art of travelling. During our
leisure time when we have nothing to do, we realise that our luggage in not the only baggage we
are carrying. Our deeper thoughts that
we pushed to the back of our minds break through and we realise life is not
much to complain about.
What does traveling really offer?
The art of travelling opens our eyes to the littlest
wonders around us; we notice when a wall
is newly painted, we realise that thousands of people are working flat out to
make sure thousands of tourists are entertained, are able to eat and their
every whim is attended to. We realise hundreds
of locals make those carved chocolates we take for granted on or pillows a
night.
The art of travelling is simply being able to get away from your negative thoughts. As at home, every city has traffic jams, crowds and fast food outlets; because you are relaxed with only your thoughts to contend with it’s not so bad. You can capture this moment forever if you fill a jar with seawater and occasionally lift the lid to return to the smell of the reminiscent seas you enjoyed so much.
Feeling sublime
Taking in all the different subjects of travel arouses us to feel sublime; this is a feeling of being very small and powerless in front of something very large and powerful. The sense of being powerless is actually a very important one that we should try and get in touch with because it restores our perspective of trying to find out where we stand in the world, what matters and what may not.
Travel gives us the feeling we get when our plane surges above the clouds; we can see our problems as they must appear to the hawks and the birds looking down at the earth from above. This art of travel can make us feel small in a rather good way; usually feeling small is a bit of a humiliating experience; let’s say you’re treated roughly in an office but can look down at the earth at the tiny houses and cars, that’s when we realize that we’re all subject to necessities greater than we are and that we’re all basically just specks of dust. That’s rather a nice feeling to have sometimes!
Do we travel for the beauty?
One of the reasons we travel is to see beautiful things but coming home can be sad. The realization that beauty is fugitive is frequently found in places to which we may never return, and which will gradually fade from our memory. To hold on to your memories, use the standard solution of taking photographs of every memory; that way could we retain durable memories of the beautiful things we see in modern artful tourism.
A traveller’s attitude
There’s a deeper reason for the gloom that can descend on arriving back home than the fear that we might forget the things we’ve seen. We forget that there might be another way of looking at where we come from the way a traveller might; perhaps it doesn’t really matter where we choose to go in the end right or the pleasure, we derive from journeys will always depend more on the outlook with which we travel than the places we travel to. There’s such a thing as a traveller’s attitude, an attitude of curiosity and receptivity to whatever catches our imagination. Armed with such an attitude we find the most promising destinations exciting and can experience virtually any destination fulfilling and memorable.
