The Victoria Falls National Park is hailed as one of Africa's finest wildlife sanctuaries that protect the south and east banks of the Zambezi River within the world-famous Victoria Falls.

What NOT to Do If Your Cruise Ship Is Sinking


 

RAY+LIFEJACKET.jpg

Last Sunday night the Costa Concordia sank off the coast of the island of Giglio, enroute to Civitavecchia, a port I had visited many times working for Princess Cruises. I would like to say that in all my years at sea I never encountered a captain like Francesco Schettino.

While normally I am not one to comment on ship safety t

Hindus trust that visiting the Char Dham at least once in life wi

Sri Lanka is only a few years past a civil war that pitted the Tamil Tigers (never to be confused with the team from Detroit) against the establishment who n
