With
more than a million inhabitants, Nairobi in Kenya entertains
visitors from all over the world and maintains a cosmopolitan
atmosphere. In Kenya it is possible to leave Nairobi, a city with
a thriving business heart powered by the latest information
technology, and drive in just a few hours to a place where life
is lived in accordance to tradition and custom, where warriors
armed with spears drive cattle into thorn brush enclosures to
protect them from lions at night. But much more than many other
country on earth Kenya has maintained many of its traditional
cultures. Indeed, in Kenya tradition and custom is not seen as
being linked to the past, but as being an amorphous and evolving
part of everyday life. The boundless wilderness and big game of
this region has long attracted adventure seekers from all over
the globe. No other African country can boast such an incredible
range of landscapes, unique geographical features and
species. Dar es Salaam is the largest town in Tanzania
and is located on the Indian Ocean on one of the largest natural
harbors in the world. The city itself is full of life with an
international airport and is a convenient point from which to
start a safari to the southern circuit or to visit the islands of
Pemba, Zanzibar or Mafia. Some of Tanzania's best beaches are
also to be found just south of Dar. Mount Kilimanjaro is located
at the north/eastern tip of Tanzania. For the adventurous, a
climb of Mount Kilimanjaro is a must, taking you through the
mists of equatorial jungle to reach the snows and breath-taking
views from the summit. The seas around Zanzibar, Mafia and the
Pemba Channel are some of the best waters for diving in the
Indian Ocean. The surrounding coral hosts an impressive amount of
colourful fish, such as hawksbill and sea turtles.
The "Little Switzerland of Central America" has a
strong democracy and the highest standard of living on the
continent. Thankfully its conservation program is also one of the
most aggressive, for although Costa Rica is a small country, its
bio-diversity is staggering. In cloud forests resplendent with
ferns, palms and dazzling orchids, hummingbirds and butterflies
flit from blossom to blossom, and there are more species of birds
than in all of North America. Guanacaste is a popular tourist
area due its amazing landscapes, inactive volcanoes (such as
Rincón de la Vieja, Tenorio, Miravalles) and several
protected zones, national parks and wildlife refuges. The
province of Puntarena's primary areas of attraction include Jaco
Beach, the closest beach to San Jose, Quepos / Manuel Antonio,
known for its water sports and the Gulf of Nicoya and the
Southern Pacific, both famous for their wealth of nature
attractions.
Tagaytay, considered as the country's second summer
capital because of its crisp and cool climate all year around, is
a treasure box of pleasure points in by itself. At nightfall, one
sees the lake sparkle with the pinpoint lights of fishing boats.
It is a perfect picnic spot. Tagaytay, however, is more than a
picnic haunt. The place has given rise to many congregational
houses and retreat centers. It is also conductive to spiritual
meditation, that is earned yet another title for being the
"Center of Spiritual Retreat." Thus, the masterpiece of
nature that is Tagaytay is a not to be missed item in a tourist
itinerary. It should always include a visit to the Volcano
Island, and its enumerable side spots, animals, and
nature.
New South Wales
Sydney sits on one of the most beautiful harbours in
the world. This vibrant, cosmopolitan gateway to Australia is a
captivating city packed with natural and man-made charms. Its
superb beaches, historic enclaves, top-flight restaurants and
surrounding attractions all combine to make it an essential
Australian experience. A natural wonderland not far from Sydney,
the Blue Mountains is a spectacular area of national park
wilderness, dramatic canyons and caves, sheer-cliffed valleys,
pretty stone and timber towns, and world-class guesthouses not to
be missed. For the quintessential Outback adventure head for
Broken Hill, a quirky, historic silver mining town straight out
of the movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Home of art galleries and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Broken
Hill is surrounded by prolific desert wildlife.
Northern Territory
The Northern Territory is a dramatic, timeless place of
vast horizons, rainforests and water holes, red sand and spinifex
grass plains. From Kakadu to Uluru, or Ayers Rock as it’s
more commonly known, it’s a land of icons, filled with real
Outback characters and Aboriginal heritage. But you’ll
never ever know if you never ever
go.
Western Australia
The
‘undiscovered state’, Western Australia, is too far
flung for most east coast Aussies to visit and virtually
undiscovered by tourists from North America. But despite the
tyranny of distance more people are making their way to the far
side of the continent and going home gushing about the places
they’ve seen and the things they’ve done. So, now
it’s your turn to snorkel around desert islands, swim with
the whale sharks and dolphins, and to tour the wineries, historic
towns and national parks bursting with wildflowers.


The
delights of Asia are revealed in the many vacations to this
intriguing continent. If you've ever wanted to practice Tai Chi
in the park or learn to cook dim sum, then one of these vacations
to China is the journey for you. Or perhaps you want to discover
the history and culture of Japan, India, Thailand or Cambodia.
Whatever you choose, you're sure to revel in the beauty of the
many facets of Asia. Many species include tigers, snakes, oxen,
monkeys and more.(see the movie Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia )
Antarctica -- truly one of the last frontiers.
Antarctica is the largest wilderness area on earth, unaffected by
large scale human activities. Accordingly, this unique and
pristine environment has been afforded special protection.
Already there are a variety of cruises along the coastal waters
of Antarctica. The most popular are education/expedition cruises
where stops are made at research stations and animal communities
along the coast.
