Frankfurt in Germany by Mzondi Lungu

Frankfurt, long considered strictly a financial capital and major travel hub, used to land on the culturati map once a year, during its annual book fair. A recent boom of restaurants and clubs, though, makes the case for permanent placement. Leading the city’s transformation is its fast-evolving red light district, where spots like Maxie Eisen, a deli-style cafe by day and a speakeasy-inspired bar by night, offer a sexiness that isn’t unseemly.



In the city center, a buzzy pan-Asian restaurant called Moriki was just opened by the Berlin-based chef Duc Ngo with a menu that includes envelope-pushing courses like sushi pizza; and the new sleek Lamoraga, a modern Spanish restaurant, is pulling in the shopping crowds for lunch. By the end of next year, the developer Ardi Goldman plans to reinvent and reopen the famed King Kamehameha Club, which had its original heyday in the 1990s and 2000s. And growth extends to the art world: The 32,000-square-foot underground extension at the Städel Museum earned accolades from around the globe when it opened last year.

Favorite Lake in Malawi of Mzondi Lungu


The Malawi Lake is the 9th largest lake on Earth and has the biggest diversity of exotic fish species of all freshwater lakes. Discovered by Livingston in one of his expeditions in the 19th century, it was first called Nyasa, which means the lake of stars, because of the way its water surface sparkles. The basin covers approximately one fifth of Malawi's territory and stands between three countries. With a length of 365 miles and a width of 52 miles, and the fact that it is fed by 12 rivers, it is often referred to as the Calendar Lake. An intriguing fact is that there are no settlements on the shores, yet there are always crowds of people. With its rich flora and fauna, this park is part of the World Heritage List and is extremely important for studying the evolution of the species on our planet. Lastly, since the soils of the region are exceptionally barren, the only occupation that the locals can pursuit is fishing, thus the lake is the only source of food and living.

Marrakech in Morocco favorite place of Mzondi Lungu



Once upon a time, Marrakech was a glorious capital of Morocco and an emblem of luxury, especially the magnificent El Badi Palace with 360 rooms, lavishly decorated in marble, gold, onyx, ivory and precious stones - brilliant constructions, surrounded by fountains and green gardens. After the death of the ruler and founder, Sultan Ahmed el Mansour and the loss of the capital status, the city sparkle begins to wither and today, only the ruins show traces of the long lost splendour. Tourists can enjoy the remaining 12th century marquetry minbar, encrusted in silver and gold, diligently restored by the National Museum of Art, or the fortress' dungeon with cages, where the sultan kept prisoners. Besides the palace in the Old Town, Marrakech presents its guests with the opportunity to enjoy some traditional Moroccan cuisine and listen to lively music on the Djemma el Fnaa square or escape the hassle and bustle in the Botanic garden - a green retreat away from the abundance of exotic sounds, colours and aromas.

Victoria Falls place in Zimbabwe by Mzondi Lungu




The Smoke that Thunders, as the indigenous call it, is featured among the most beautiful waterfalls in the world and with its continues 108 meters high and nearly two kilometres wide flow, it is considered the largest water curtain on the planet. The falls were discovered in the mid-19th century by the famous David Livingston and were named after the Queen of England. They are part of a couple of national parks and are the most visited tourist attraction in South Africa. More than 500 million cubic meters/ min of water plummet the basalt cliff to culminate in a cloud of vapour and to create a spectacular display of Nature's might.  The best way to enjoy this beauty is either from the specially constructed for the purpose bridge or from the air. The phenomenal grandiosity is such, that even Livingston himself wrote in his journal after he first beheld Victoria that the falls are "so lovely [that they] must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight".

The Pyramids in Egypt is a Favorite Place of Mzondi Lungu

The incessant interest in the grandiose constructions and mystic rituals of the ancient culture attract millions of enthusiasts every year, eager to catch a glimpse of the massive pyramid shaped buildings and gran monuments.
