My safari adventure with Heidi is in The Sunday Times today. There’s a lot in here: penguins in the Kalahari Desert; a tortoise who’d lost its shell; even Sean Bean turns up at one point. This was an important trip, chosen with Heidi’s #dyslexia in mind ⁦⁦@timestravel⁩

What links my recent expedition cruise up South America’s Pacific coast with Steven Spielberg’s new blockbuster #DisclosureDay? The answer lies beyond our world. Stellar ingredients for my latest in The Sunday Times today @TimesTravel @SETI @swanhellenic @TravWriters

Thrilled to have been shortlisted in two categories at this year’s #TravMediaAwards. I’m extremely lucky to be able to write about the people and places of our wonderful world. That others like those stories too is the sweetest of cherries on top @TravMedia_UK @TravWriters

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

The world’s oldest mummies, a giant spider visible only from the sky, an earthquake that nearly tipped me out of bed, and watching the Artemis launch with astronomers from the SETI Institute. It’s been a trip @TravWriters #Chile #Peru

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

A serendipitous discovery, a 2,000-mile voyage, our planet’s most spectacular viewpoint, and humanity’s greatest question. A story with its origins in the childhoods of millions. Working on my next piece for The Sunday Times @TravWriters

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

Tomorrow it’s the Oscars, but the true big ones are still a month away. Delighted to have been shortlisted in the Consumer Feature of the Year category at the @InspireGlobal_ Media Awards #IGMAs #PositiveImpactStorytelling @TravWriters

@JLowenWildlife Lovely shot 👏

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

@untamedborders @TravWriters Thank you for having me! 🙏

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

“In that direction,” my @untamedborders guide said, his eyes straining for emphasis under the dark blue band of his Tuareg headscarf, “it is just sand. Five hundred miles to Mali.” My latest on magnificent, lesser-visited #Algeria @TravWriters⁩ https://t.co/EM6YjlXRkR

@thetimes Immeasurable thanks to @Journojacko for the commission - this journey has given Heidi a boost that’s lasted long beyond the trip, and will benefit her forever #travelwriting

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

Beyond thrilled to have won ‘Travel Feature of the Year - Wider World’ at last night’s spectacular ⁦@TravWriters⁩ gala dinner. Huge thanks to ⁦@TravMedia_UK⁩ for sponsoring the award and to everyone who made the evening such a magnificent success #BGTWAwards25

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

And here’s the piece for @thetimes that won. It’s about a young girl who loves stories, but is afraid of words. But she’s brave, and on a trip to Botswana she faces her fears and finds a way to tell her story. And she sees a zebra #travelwithkids https://t.co/zJnSCh43Fp

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

Off and running at the #BGTWAwards25. Four glasses of fizz deep already. Shaping up to be a fun one ⁦@TravWriters⁩

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

@SaltySeadog @TravWriters @swanhellenic Love seeing these images - a great portfolio. I think the penguin with chicks would be my pick as a favourite. Best of luck to Frances on Monday - look forward to catching up.

@DrNeilMatthews So you’re saying I’ve still got a chance of a career in journalism?

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

Have got injured playing most sports at one time or another. But hadn’t expected an inexplicably twanged hip at a poker night would leave me unable to walk six days later.

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

Days and nights deep in the Algerian desert, about as close to the centre of the Sahara as you can get, with a group of Tuareg guides exploring prehistoric rock art, Neolithic tombs and a humbling expanse of sand ⁦@TravWriters⁩

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

Sure, the kids haven’t long been back at school, but it’s never too early to start making half-term plans. I’ve laid out some of the best family-friendly October breaks in the latest issue of National Geographic Traveller mag #travelwithkids #familytravel ⁦@TravWriters⁩

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

@seatsixtyone I think I’m just out of shot! The kids and I had stepped off the Brussels service on the next platform just as yours was rolling in. We didn’t make it as far as Türkiye, but did have a good rattle around Transylvania, there and back on the rails.

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

A spot of luxury for our final Transylvania stop, two nights at the utterly beautiful Bethlen Estates in tiny Criş. Lazy days spent exploring the village castle, taking carriage rides into the wilds, enjoying picnics in forgotten meadows. Blissful #TopBunk2 @TravWriters

[Dom Tulett @DomTulett]

At Salina Turda, displays chart the history of a Transylvanian salt-mining industry that dates back to antiquity. Retrieved from ruin in 1992 the mine now features an incredible subterranean play park with a boating lake, ferris wheel and mini golf #TopBunk2 ⁦@TravWriters⁩
