Planning and preparing for a safari holiday in African can be a little daunting with so many countries and options to consider. Below are a few African travel tips to take into consideration both before and during your holiday: (more…)

One of the most popular countries for a safari in Africa, Tanzania is far more varied than you might first imagine. Below are three options to consider for a Tanzania safari; you could think about doing just one option or even combining them with one another.

The Northern Circuit

The northern areas of Tanzania are the country’s most well-known. The famous Serengeti National Park is here along with areas such as the Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. Wildlife in these areas is fantastic, particularly in the Serengeti. This is also where you’ll find the Great Migration (for some months of the year), an incredible gathering of over two million wildebeest and zebra. The best way to see the north is with a private guide who will accompany you to each location bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and experience whilst ensuring consistency throughout your holiday.

In the eastern Caribbean Sea northwest of Barbados you will discover an island called Saint Lucia. It is a gorgeous island and where you will find the Anse Chastanet resort. Situated between Petit and Gros Piton mountains it is pretty perfectly placed on the hillside.

At the resort you will have all the facilities you need right at your fingertips including a car rental desk and a currency exchange.
You’ll be able to enjoy spending time here with its 2 restaurants and bars, beachside boutiques, the scuba and water-sports centre, library and much more… You can go on a nature walk, or take a bike ride around St Lucia, or even enjoy a kayaking experience.

For something more relaxed, you can spend time on the beach and visit the casual bar and restaurant situated right by the beach. Or stay and be pampered in the luxury spa after being served breakfast or afternoon tea on the panoramic hillside terrace.

Rome has made its name as a superb city with ancient culture, tasty food and numerous attractions and it’s the type of city many people dream of visiting, especially when it is thriving in the summer months.

The famous Colosseum or the Circus Maximus will certainly be worth a visit but there is so much more. It’s the hidden gems in Rome that make it so special, such as the pizzeria tucked away in the cobble street alley, the friendly people and the beautiful warm weather.

You can enjoy pizza or pasta dishes in the sun,  with terrific views over the city and then perhaps take a day trip to visit Pompeii. Nightlife is also a really nice aspect of a Roman holiday but if you’re not looking for a night out on the town, more relaxing entertainment can be found in traditional bars and restaurants.

New Zealand really is a remarkable country, not just for its scenery but also for its many famous attractions. Queenstown is one of the most popular destinations and that’s because it’s the tourism capital. It’s near the snowy mountain ranges where many people stay, usually at the Coronet Peak, the Cardona or Treble Cone resorts.

Lake Tekapo is in the Southern area of New Zealand and there have been many films over the years that have used the beautiful scenery of the lake to make the visuals more appealing. From the lake you can see the mountain ranges but it’s a really secluded location and there is probably no better place to relax, meaning it a great stop off after a hectic tourist stay in Lake Tekapo.

New Zealand is an odd country; one day you can spend one day relaxing in the sun and another day on the top of a snowy mountain cliff. Not many countries are as diverse as New Zealand, while the country also benefits from not being overpopulated, so you’re in for a real experience if you’re used to living in a busy, overcrowded city.
