Zanzibar is a gorgeous island off the coast of Tanzania, in the Indian Ocean. Besides its pristine, white sand beaches, many people go to this island for its fascinating history and delicious spices. Snorkelers will enjoy the rich marine life of Pemba Island and its verdant hills and coconut plantations. For some local culture and history, visit the new UNESCO World Heritage Site – Stone Town, an old Arabian town built by rich slave and spice traders which is becoming just as popular as Zanzibar’s beaches.

Nestled at the foot of the Atlas mountains is the imperial city of Marrakech. Some might find it too large, noisy, and smelly, but this city is also rich in history and local culture. You’re definitely in for a very interesting experience when you walk through the city amidst fire jugglers, carpet salesmen, and noisy souqs. You can also check out places like the Saadian Tombs and the Majorelle gardens. If you’re not used to tropical heat it’s best to avoid the summer season and go to Marrakech in the cooler months of September to May.

Visit the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s premier wildlife park. Masai Mara was established in 1961 to keep the wildlife safe from hunters and is the main reason why many travelers from around the world visit Kenya. It is located in south west Kenya, near the border of Tanzania and is home to crocodiles and hippos, making the migration of wildebeest and zebras a dangerous undertaking. You’ll also definitely see the big five – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and the cape buffalo – as well as giraffes, hyenas, baboons, cheetahs, and more. The best time to visit Masai Mara is between July and October where wildebeest and zebra are at their plentiest – which means a lot of game for lions and leopards.

The gorilla population in the wild degrades year per year. It is truly an experience of a lifetime to see one or some of them. Half of the remaining gorilla species in the wild lives in the Virunga range which is now declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the site is located at the boundaries of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The extinct volcanic land mass spans to about 46 square miles in area which homes six volcanoes. The open terrain on the Rwandan part of the park enables photographers opportunitues for photoshoot. However, the gorillas move around very freely around the park. So when they transfer from one country to another country, the gorilla tracking on their previous niche is usually restrained.

Jerba, Tunisia

without comments

Jerba Island is big tourist resort located off the North African coast that provides easy living for travelers and tourists alike. The island is most known for its beautiful architechture of colorful square, whitewashed houses. It looks like a world of its own and it’s so compressed that globe-trotters can explore everything in a week. Jerba’s topography is very simple, with only a few kilometers dividing villages, each with its own unique story to tell. You’ll meet a lot of Europeans, Tunisians, and Libyans here, but depending on where you stay, you might not meet anyone at all. This is also the only place in Tunisia where Tunisian women go around wearing only the lower part of their bikinis.
