Randi Thomsen Profile

Together with Svein, we travel around the world to explore and enjoy new WHS, countries, culture and great food.  In 2010 we become WHS travellers, when we started planning our trips in order to visit WHS. 

Hunting for WHS makes us go off the beaten tracks and brings us to new and exciting places, trying to understand the OUV.  Travel is more than seeing new places, it’s  about learning history, new culture and enjoy excotic food and drinks.

Centre historique de Praia (T)

Randi Thomsen Norway - 05-Jan-25

Centre historique de Praia (T)

We stayed one night in the heart of Praia’s historic center, conveniently located for an early departure to one of the other islands. The city is perched on the naturally fortified plateau of Santa Maria da Vitória, overlooking the harbor. Praia developed here due to its strategic military importance, which allowed control over maritime and commercial activities in the region.

As Ribeira Grande (Cidade Velha) declined, Praia emerged as Cape Verde’s primary population center, benefiting from its geographic location, large port, improved defenses, and better hygiene. In 1770, it was declared the capital of Cape Verde

Odzala-Kokoua

Randi Thomsen Norway - 30-Nov-24

Odzala-Kokoua

We arrived the park after nightfall - it’s a 14 hour drive from Brazzaville.

Camp Impalanga, one of the few camps in Odzala, is a small facility run by African Parks, offering just four cabin/tents. There is no luxury here, but perfect for a couple of days in the Congolese jungle, and we believe it will be an unforgettable adventure. We are staying four nights and hoping to see our first gorillas.

Odzala is one of Africa’s largest national parks, established as early as 1935. Today, the National park is also managed by African Parks.

Sangha Trinational

Randi Thomsen Norway - 04-Dec-24

Sangha Trinational

After a long day on the Sangha River from Oesso, we arrived at Dzanga-Sangha National Park we arrived at eight o’clock, the last leg in darkness. The speedboat journey through untouched nature, passing isolated villages and local fishermen, was serene and surreal - we encountered only one motorized boat the entire day.

Our stay was at Doli Lodge, managed by WWF and beautifully situated on the Sangha River. The lodge exceeded expectations and offered more comfort than its counterpart in Odzala-Congo. Though the original plan was for four nights, it was shortened to three due to the temporary suspension of gorilla trekking. The unfortunate loss of the last silverback means the groups need time to stabilize. However, the park has much more to offer.

'Uruq Bani Ma'arid

Randi Thomsen Norway - 22-Nov-24

This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that I was very excited to visit, located at the edge of the legendary “Empty Quarter.” Desert landscapes have always fascinated me. However, obtaining information in advance about how best to visit the national park proved challenging. I came across a forum thread online that mentioned a permit was required beforehand.

I reached out to NCW, explaining our wish to visit and the date we had planned for the trip. The following day, I received a polite response asking me to send copies of the passports for all visitors. A day later, I received an email confirming our request for permission has been approved, and informing that they had arranged a guided tour for us!

Melka Kunture and Balchit

Randi Thomsen Norway - 08-Aug-24

Melka Kunture and Balchit

It’s likely we are the first visitors from our community to visit this site after inscription at the 2024 session.

On our southern Etiopia  tour this was our first stop. The site is anonymous, with no signs leading to it from the main road. At the site itself, there were no indications of its recent status as a World Heritage site.

We visited the Gombore site, which has five excavation sites, with #2 displayed as an open-air museum. From the entrance, it is a few hundred meters walk along an overgrown path.

There are so many impressive places in the world. I have a special feeling for Natural WHS like Galapagos, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and Norwegian Fjords, but places like Machu Picchu, Angkor Wat and Rome is impressive
