A fantastic and successful trip to Southeast Asia

Neither the Icelandic volcano nor the civil unrest in Thailand could hamper our exciting tour to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. The volcano showed its mercy in good time, so our group managed to get home, and the demonstrations in Bangkok did not affect in any way the trip and the time spent in exploring this cosmopolitan city. The undisputable highlight of the tour was the visit to the famous...

The Charm of West Africa

Maybe it wasn’t exactly voodoo but certainly there was some kind of magic. The trip to Ghana, Benin and Togo turned out to be a perfect cocktail mix of exotic adventures and well organized tourist service. These three countries showed us that they have really unique historical and cultural features, which help them create a very positive image. And though large parts of Africa are affected...

Cameroon Tour Guide: Best Places, Costs & Travel Tips

A Cameroon tour delivers more variety in one country than most African itineraries manage across three. Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature". It is also one of the continent's least visited destinations, so the crowds you...

Mozambique Tour: Your Complete Guide to Africa's Indian Ocean Coast

A Mozambique tour swaps the safari-vehicle crowds for something rarer: 2,500 kilometres of Indian Ocean coastline, coral reefs that rank among the healthiest in Africa, and an Afro-Portuguese culture you will not find anywhere else on the continent. This is a beach-and-culture destination first, a wildlife one second - and that is exactly why it appeals to travellers who have already ticked off...
