Dom Tulett

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

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 👏

Best shot I saw this year. My daughter, opening the batting for the county u15s, first ball she faced…

@untamedborders @TravWriters Thank you for having me! 🙏

@DomTulett @TravWriters Fantastic piece @DomTulett - thank you for joining us on the adventure.

“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 independent.co.uk/travel/north-a…

@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

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 thetimes.com/travel/destina…

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

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

@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.

The shortlist for the @travwriters Photographer of the Year Award has been announced & @yachtophoto is one of the 3 finalists. This is the last of her portfolio of 6 selected images but do you know where this @swanhellenic shot was taken? Do you have a favourite of the 6?

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

@DomTulett Join the Derek Pringle Club (IIRC he missed a Test because he ricked his back while writing a letter)

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.

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

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

@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.

3 minutes ahead of schedule!

FAMILY HOLIDAY TO KUŞADASI IN TURKEY BY TRAIN? Impossible? Nope! We’ve literally just done it. Now back in Blighty on board a Paris-London Eurostar! 🇹🇷🇬🇧🥂🍾

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

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

Leaving behind the Saxon old towns of Braşov and Sibiu, our accommodation journey took a sharp swerve into the surreal as we checked into a holiday park built on - and very much embracing - a former ammunition and armaments site #TopBunk2 #travelwithkids ⁦@TravWriters⁩

Despite the nagging suspicion the city’s roofs are giving you side-eye, Sibiu is quite the charmer #TopBunk2 ⁦@TravWriters⁩

The reward for an hour of scrambling up the forested slopes of Mt Tâmpa - home to bears and lynx - is an exceptional view of #Braşov. They say the best thing to do in bear country is to talk as you walk, so you never surprise the animals. We had Barney with us; we were fine.
