Marco Williams - Travel Counsellor I provide seamless travel arrangements for the sophisticated professional, using my 30+ years of hospitality and travel management experience. Love Thailand!

I do this for both business and leisure travellers. Originally from London - lived in Clapham Common in the '60s. Moved to Rayleigh in Essex, then to Sandy, followed by Gamlingay. Went to Nottingham Trent University (when it was better known as Trent Poly). Worked in the photography business and eventually fell into the travel business. Now live in Oakley, Bedfordshire. I've had the good fortune to visit much of Europe (working for a tour operator), and some of the Caribbean islands - taking photos for a Tour Operator. Also Florida, California, Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Egypt, Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Bangkok, Phuket, Taiwan, Bali, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur. Lived in Hong Kong from 1997 to 1998. But would really like to explore Cambodia and Vietnam. In my 20's, spent 4 months backpacking around India. And also in my 20's, spent about 4 months in a Kibbutz in Israel. Both of which I really enjoyed. Married with two grown-up children. One's at Portsmouth University, reading Criminology and Criminal Justice, the other at home for now - she read Archeological Science at Reading. Hobbies - really enjoy scuba diving. Haven't really picked up a camera much - perhaps I should. I love to travel. And for me, exploring any new destination is what really excites me - and especially introducing others to that destination. Travel in my view, not only expands horizons and opens your mind to new ways of thinking and the appreciation of different cultures, but also brings home how beautiful and precious this world is. As someone wiser than me said: "To NOT travel, is like opening a book and just reading the first page.

Vietnam is one of those rare destinations that feels like a full cultural immersion from the moment you arrive. For those who want more than beaches and good weather, Vietnam offers a rich tapestry of history, heritage, food, landscapes, and local life that makes every day meaningful and memorable. It is an ideal choice for those who want to come home with amazing stories, not just pretty photos.

Planning a trip to Australia is one of those big, exciting life moments. It is the kind of journey people dream about for years, saving carefully and collecting ideas from films, friends and social media. Because it feels so special, it's tempting to pack in as much as possible and try to “do” Australia in one go. That is where many itineraries start to unravel.

Feel the power of Africa’s “Smoke That Thunders” at Victoria Falls, then retreat to the tranquillity of Water Falls Lodge.

Here, days begin with soft birdsong and the distant roar of the Zambezi as it plunges into the Batoka Gorge. After a freshly brewed coffee on the deck, you are just a short journey from one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World: Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, “the smoke that thunders.”

Stand at the edge of this vast curtain of water, over 1.7 km wide and more than 100 m high, wrapped in cool mist and rainbows. It is a place that humbles you, excites you, and stays with you long after you leave.

At Water Falls Lodge, the drama of the day gives way to calm. The atmosphere is intimate and characterful, with warm African hospitality and those thoughtful touches that make a stay feel truly special. You might spend the afternoon by the pool or on the terrace with a sundowner in hand, watching fiery Zambezi sunsets melt into star-filled skies.

You can choose to make your time here as relaxed or as exhilarating as you wish. Drift along the river on a golden-hour sunset cruise, or take a helicopter flight for a bird’s-eye view of the falls and the winding gorges. Wander rainforest trails and feel the spray on your skin, then return to the lodge for dinner under the stars, sharing stories of the day.

Victoria Falls is a destination for dreamers, adventurers and romantics, and Water Falls Lodge is your peaceful sanctuary beside it all.

Ready to turn this view into your next unforgettable journey? Contact me today to start planning your Victoria Falls escape.
