AFRICA SAFARI ADVENTURE

Are you going on an African Safari? Well my friend, there has been an explosion of growth in the African Safari industry over the last couple of years. A search on the internet for African Safari Tours yields thousands of safari companies offering trips to hundreds of destinations within Africa. 

Whether you're looking for a classic safari, a private off-the-beaten path journey, or a personal exploration of Africa's tribal cultures and rituals, there is simply no richer experience like an African Safari.

The top Ten African Safari Destinations includes the best wildlife parks in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Gabon. Kenya is Africa's most popular safari destination because of its abundance of wildlife, beautiful landscapes and cultural riches. 

Kenya is home to hundreds of species of birds. Kenya's birds include flamingos, ostriches, vultures, kingfishers, eagles, hornbills, pelicans, cranes and many more species on any Kenyan Safari.

Coming face to face with these rare and beautiful creatures are an incredible experience. Discover the top ten animals you should see when on safari in Africa. From the Big 5, to the elegant giraffe, swift cheetah, scary crocodile and rare mountain gorilla, these "must-see" animals are what makes an African safari so exciting and worthwhile.

Imagine endless savannas teeming with millions of wildebeest, towering boulders sprawling with tawny lions, and collapsed volcanoes brimming in mist. Imagine a place completely unaware of civilization where wildlife still reigns supreme. It is hard to believe a place like this still exists, but it does.

The thrilling jolt of discovery, the shared smiles of amazement. Connecting with nature, with new cultures… and with a timeless part of yourself. Such experiences are not always common… but in Africa, they are as regular as the rising Serengeti sun. But this is more than just Africa, it’s an experience unlike any other, where you are a VIP everywhere you go. It is a blend of excitement and elegance, a place of delightful surprises and uncommon luxury.

If you want to experience something totally different than you have ever experienced before for your vacation, think about an African Safari.  Watch this short video:

DESTINATION WEDDINGS

If you’ve started touring wedding venues and researching florists, bakers and caterers, you may be disappointed with what you’ve found so far. The cost of a wedding can be outrageous - a ceremony and short reception at a banquet hall or hotel can be upwards of $30,000 - money most couples would rather save.

We surveyed 100 people in 2012.  We asked the question, if you had more time and money what would you do? They all said they would TRAVEL!!

Today I thought this would be an interesting subject! Women Traveling Together!

WOMEN are traveling more than ever, with partners, sisters, mothers, best friends or by themselves. So, why not get into the spirit and book your next trip as a salute to womankind?

  

As most of us lead busy lives, finding the time to bond with women friends can be problematic. So why not think about taking some much-needed time out by booking a women's-only getaway or get away with the girlfriends.

Women - just like you - find themselves searching for a travel solution when friends or family, for whatever reason, are unable to travel with them. The solution is to join a group of women who are just as excited about travel as you are.

Imagine traveling with a small or large group of women who share your interest and excitement in a particular destination—enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, the fun, the laughter, the new friendships, and the unforgettable memories. 

Check out these two exciting ideas

For a cultural twist, consider visiting New Orleans in Louisiana, which has a dynamic backdrop of street musicians, colorful markets and Creole culture.  A good time to round up the girls for a visit is during FestiGals (June 20-23), a festival aimed at empowering women.  The schedule is packed with networking events, tours and fun activities such as cooking classes, fashion shows and spa parties.

Shop ‘til you drop  
A strong dollar makes it an excellent time to shop up a storm overseas and the US is the place to go.
 There are big savings to be made so check in empty suitcases and head for Honolulu, Los Angeles or New York.  The Big Apple has tours of cafes, shops for designer bargains, make sure to shop Woodbury Common Premium Outlets.  You may also want to consider going to New York City during the Christmas holidays.  Experience the magic of New York City dressed to the nines for the holidays.  A Christmas Walking Tour of Park Avenue, 5th Avenue and Rockefeller Center will be a highlight of the evening.

 Going on vacation with other women is about much more than simply having fun.  Medical studies show that the bond between women is critical to emotional and physical health.  The very nature of  how women interact with each other has a lot to do with it. Women share a confidential kind of talk when they are uninterrupted and free from daily responsibilities makes these getaways so healing. Taking a vacation with girlfriends is energizing and empowering. Think of it as a personal tune up.
