ArubaAruba

Bonbini, in the native language of Papiamento, means "Welcome".Welcome to Aruba.

The beaches curve like an Aruban smile along the western shores, softand white and fringed with palm trees, sloping gently toward the calmtransparent turquoise of the Caribbean. The waves of the windward coastcrash like incessant thunder against the northern cliffs, carving high,arched coral bridges and deep, dark secret limestone grottoes.

Between the two extremes, in a desert landscape where the cacti grow tothe height of a man, great building-sized tumbles of boulders stand like thelegacy of some ancient, angry god. Winding roads lead to rocky passesand hidden coves, or sometimes to nowhere at all. Giant green parakeetscall to their mates, and troupials flash brilliant orange against the deepblue of the Caribbean sky.

This is not the Caribbean as usual. This is Aruba! And if it’s true thatopposites attract, then this could well be the most attractive island of themall. The fact is, if you`re looking for it, and if it has anything to do with agreat Caribbean getaway, you can probably find it here in Aruba.

Maldives

The Maldives is situated on the equator, South West of Sri Lanka andcomprises of over 1,100 islands forming 26 major atolls. 87 of theseIslands are exclusive island resorts and just over 200 are inhabited.

Cultural and historical influences date back to 500 bc when it is believedthe first inhabitants came from Ceylon in Sri Lanka.

Travellers and early settlers from the days of the Silk Route have alsobrought influences from both East Africa and South Asia.

The majority of Maldivians are Muslims and Islam is the national religion.

The Maldives offers some of the finest beaches and crystal clear waters youwill find and boasts some of the best diving opportunities in the world.

Due to the geographical nature of the Maldives, there is a lack of naturalresources which means that almost everything has to be imported. This canmean that certain items are expensive when compared to home.

When is the best time to go on safari?South Africa is a year-round destination, and the best time to visitdepends on your priorities. Safaris are best in the winter months(May to August) when the grass is lowest, so game viewing iseasier, and the temperatures are mild (20–33°C).

The best season for the beach is summer (November to mid-March).Temperatures reach 28-30°C or higher on truly beautiful days.

How long should I stay?A minimum of a two-night stay is recommended to really enjoy yourAfrican bush experience.

How do I get around between reserves?In South Africa, the major reserves are concentrated inMpumalanga and the Limpopo Province, and you can reach themby flying directly to Johannesburg or Cape Town, then catching aconnecting flight to an airport in or near the reserves, and hiring acar or arranging a transfer to and from your lodge. Or you can optfor a 4-5 hour drive from Johannesburg admiring the scenery onroute.

For the Eastern Cape reserves, Port Elizabeth is the closest airport -the reserves are between 20 -100 minutes' drive and best of all,these reserves are malaria-free. Visiting one of these is ideally thestart or exit point of a driving trip along the Garden Route to orfrom Cape Town, a wonderfully scenic drive with great choices inlodgings.

Where can I see game in a malaria-free area? South Africa is only place in the world where you can enjoy amalaria free African safari holiday. Both the Eastern Cape’s gamereserves and Madikwe, near Johannesburg, boast the Big Five, soyou won’t compromise your wildlife viewing or your health.

Do I need to visit a private reserve?The best reason to visit a private reserve is that you are guaranteedto see more animals, and you will learn more about the intricaciesof the bush. Visitors are taken for game drives in an open-toppedvehicle by an armed and knowledgeable ranger, usually helped by

a tracker, and in radio communication with other vehicles. Sightingsare excellent on game drives (at least two of the Big 5 in onedrive), and it's great to have your questions answered withouthaving to flip through a book.

In certain reserves, like Sabi Sand and Thornybush rangers areallowed to drive off-road, taking you almost within touchingdistance of animals.

What is a typical day on safari?A typical day starts with a 3-hour, early-morning game drive, whereguests are accompanied by a game ranger and tracker - followedby a large cooked breakfast, possibly in the bush.

A guided walk is generally offered before lunch, and afternoonsare spent relaxing at the pool or on a viewing deck.

Night drives take place during the sunset/early evening hours, withdrinks (sundowners) served in the bush, and the last hour or so isspent driving with a spotlight. Night drives can be incredibly dull ortotally exhilarating, with nocturnal predators stalking and killingprey, a rare but privileged sighting. Dinners are large and delicious,and often served under the stars by firelight.

What is included?Safari camps are generally all-inclusive (Unless otherwise stated),which means the cost of the accommodations, meals, guides, gameactivities, and park entry fees are included.

Combining a safari with a few days at the beach or with a self-drivetour along the Garden Route, can make a fantastic trip moreaffordable.

Are safaris suitable for families? The age range and makeup of your party should be taken intoaccount. Some safari camps do not allow children under age 12. Afamily has different requirements than a honeymoon couple.

While some safaris are kid-friendly, keep in mind that a certainamount of quiet, concentration, patience, and immobility is required.Please ask one of our experts for more details.
