Just to hit the nail on the head, one of the best Africa tourist destinations is Tanzania. This is another region in Africa that I can comfortably describe as 'the world in summery', because in the tourism fraternity, it has all it takes for any adventurous traveler to sacrifice till the last penny for! This is the basic reason why budget travelers, luxury lodge travelers, the young, aged and any other group of travelers who get a chance of coming to Africa would always want to spare a week or s
Be ready to learn a lot of lessons during your participation in one of our regular Kenya safari trips including Masai Mara tours. Wild animals are very humble creatures and quite interesting to watch as they go about their routine chores of looking for food. During these interesting Tanzania adventure and Kenya trips, you will realize that each category of animals have their own way of escaping predators, looking for daily bread, defending and bringing up their young ones, which in turn results

That's right! We've heard it all and we're all sick of the Nude-o-scope body scanners. However yesterday a passenger decided to reveal the FULL Monty for the TSA and surprisingly, since it wasn't a overly revealing computer image, the TSA didn't approve and instead the gentleman was arrested.
The TSA demands either a nude computer image to be taken of every traveler or if you opt out, you're subjected to the standard metal detector and a full body rub down which includes a nice caressing of the g
Usually when we plan to spend our vacation especially in summer days, we consider two things before choosing our destination. First one is the pleasing climate of that place and the second important point is the divine beauty of that spot. These two things offer soothing effect to our mind and we relax completely. Whenever we plan to go on any hill station in summer days, immediately the name Shimla comes in our mind. Every year thousands of tourists visit this place to get rid from the scorchin

The majestic Mount Kenya is the second highest point one can ever climb in Africa after Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. At an altitude of 5199 meters above the sea level, even though it sits 16km astride the hot environment of the equator, it has gleaming and eroded permanently snow-covered peaks visible for miles until the late morning clouds obscure the view. This old extinct volcano forms a national park above the 3200 contour mark and it has three famous peaks namely: Batian, the highest, Nel
Is there a better way to kick off spring than taking a trek through an ancient petrified forest or going butterfly watching on a mangrove island? Yes: Go there for free!
National Park Week starts this Saturday, April 21, and lasts through April 29. During this time, admission is free to all 397 U.S. national parks.
Some national parks never charge entrance fees. For example, admission to Great Smoky Mountains National park costs zilch. But at parks that do charge to get in, you could save a nice c
No, price isn’t everything in travel. It counts for a great deal in making travel decisions, but those merchants of “low, low prices” are missing the point.
What seems to drive travel choices is the ability for the traveler to connect with a brand; to feel and identify with it.
At least that’s what the Harris Poll EqiTrend 2012 (EQ) study tells us.
The poll is a study of the health and function of major brands, and Travel Daily News has a neat summary in its newsletter.

MS 2: 3 Days Samburu Camping Safari
The three National Reserves of Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba are at the beginning of the dry north where camels become commonplace.
However, it is not a completely parched area as it is watered by the Uaso Nyiro River or 'River of Brown Water' in Samburu. This is an essential and sometimes erratic water source for all the inhabitants, including a considerable amount of wildlife in the reserves and Samburu cattle and goats.
Out of the north Ke

I purchased travel insurance before embarking on my year-long, round-the-world backpacking trip. Of course, it's not the kind of thing you ever want to use, but I figured it might come in handy for medical woes, bag theft or a broken iPod.
I did not expect that my mother would die.
She passed away in Ohio. I was at a yoga camp in Dahab, on the Red Sea shore of Egypt's Sinai peninsula (pictured above). I never felt so physically or emotionally isolated before in my life.
We would be tempted to say that the best time to travel to Iceland would be in June, July and August but there is no best time actually. Everything depends on what you are looking for. Iceland in summer time and Iceland in winter time is two different countries.
In the summer time you have the day light 24h/24h, that is magic. You can cross the country from south to north or vise versa by the highlands. You will see incredible colors in the highlands - you can rent a car and then visit
MS 4: 4 Days Masai Mara - L. Nakuru Safari
The Masai Mara lies in the Great Rift Valley, which is a fault line some 3,500 miles (5,600km) long, from Ethiopia's Red Sea through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and into Mozambique. Here the valley is wide and a towering escarpment can be seen in the hazy distance. There can be as much wildlife roaming outside the park as inside. Many Masai villages are located in the 'dispersal areas' and they have, over centuries, developed a synergetic relationship with t
MS 1: 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari
The Masai Mara is one of the best known and most popular reserves in the whole of Africa. At times and in certain places it can get a little overrun with tourist minibuses, but there is something so special about it that it tempts you back time and again.
Seasoned safari travellers, travel writers, documentary makers and researchers often admit that the Masai Mara is one of their favourite places. So why is that? Perhaps it is because of the 'big skies', the

Getaway at the Claremont Resort & Spa
Sometimes, we all need an escape from the big city. Cross the Bay Bridge from San Francisco and enter another world. The home of the University of California at Berkeley is more than just a college town. For a perfect getaway head to the Claremont Resort and Spa in the Berkeley Hills, but actually situated in Oakland, on the Oakland, Berkeley boarder.
The historic hotel opened in 1915 and is known as one of the top ten spas in the U.S. and a great place to
