The Thrills of Morocco

Filed Under : Africa by Guest Author

Jan.12,2012

Morocco, in North Africa, is among the most unique countries on the continent as it contains a mixture of African, European and Asian culture. If you want to experience an exotic blend of African, Arabic and French cultures then Morocco is the place to be. The Moroccan landscape is as diverse as its culture with its scenic mountains, coastline and desert.

Morocco is home to the ever-shifting and ever-beautiful Sahara desert, as well as the Dromedary camels. You can experience the magnificent dunes of the Erg Chebbi, the kasbahs of Rissani and Aoufouss by trekking through the Moroccan landscape on the back of a camel. However, unless you feel an affinity with this animal you shouldn’t trek for longer than a day to start off with as the pleasure might not be worth the pain. The borders of Figuig and Oujda are the most popular departure points for those seeking a quiet moment in the endless deserts.

When arranging stag do adventures, gents will be thrilled to have an assortment of activities that don’t only include drinking, amongst other stereotypical happenings. South Africa is not only a breathtaking area of the world to visit, but there are also so many fun and exciting things to see and do during stag weekends.

The Great Outdoors

An economical yet simple way to view Africa’s abundant marine life is snorkeling. All that’s needed to view the spectacular underwater world are a snorkel, pair of fins and face mask. Scuba diving is a bit more costly and travellers should not only be in physical shape, but should also be knowledgeable about the dangers of an undersea environment.

Congo for the intrepid traveler

Filed Under : Africa,Congo by Guest Author

The Republic of Congo is often confused with the Democratic Republic of Congo when in fact it is situated on the opposite side of the Congo River. Even though it is still not entirely safe, the Republic of Congo is a less threatening and all together friendlier version of its violent neighbour. The Congo is becoming increasingly popular amongst travelers with its forest elephants, buffaloes, lowland gorillas, wild chimpanzees, sitatunga, bongo antelopes, giant forest hogs, leopards, endemic birds, dense rainforest, impenetrable jungle, and untouched beaches. It is, however, not for everyone.

If you are looking for a journey that will include a constant adrenalin rush, then the Congo is perfect. It is certainly not for those who enjoy sitting back with a cold beer in five star accommodation. If you are going to the Congo, then prepare yourself for spending lots of time with the locals, trying out new foods, and many bumpy jeep rides on the muddy roads.

The vast continent of Africa is an incredibly unique place to explore. From the stunning southern port of Cape Town up to the Pillars of Hercules in Gibraltar, Africa is blessed with picturesque deserts, amazing wildlife and metropolitan cities. Cruising is becoming an increasingly popular way to take in Africa’s beauty in a comfortable and relaxing manner, with a number of cruisers choosing this stunning destination growing every year. Common African cruise itineraries include trips to the East African coast, with stop-offs in Mombasa and Zanzibar and cruises around the Mediterranean in North Africa. Indian Ocean itineraries, taking in the likes of Madagascar, the Seychelles and Mauritius are also held in high regard. There are also great last minute cruise deals to be snapped up when booking outside of the school holidays as cruise companies rush to promote this less well established cruising region by offering low prices and additional booking incentives.
