<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Cradle of Humankind has in recent years become one of Johannesburg's top attractions, and for good reason. This unique and beautiful spot, widely regarded as the origin of what we now refer to as mankind, or just humans, is just a short drive north of the bustling city.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Cradle of Humankind is now home to a number of fascinating museums, superb restaurants, and accommodation options to suit most tastes and budgets; a trip to South Africa is no longer complete without at least a day spent tracing your origins here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Technically, the Cradle of Humankind lies within the Greater Magaliesberg region, and since 1999, it has been classified as a UNESCO world heritage site. As a result, over the last 6 years a significant amount of money, time and care has been invested in the area to make sure that it's not only a fantastic place to spend a day or weekend, but also that it'll be around for many years to come, while meeting the strict guidelines laid out by UNESCO.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Start at the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Cradle of Humankind is close enough to do in a day, but to really get full value from the region, plan to spend an activity-packed weekend in the area. Make sure you leave the city of Joburg nice and early and make your first stop - the celebrated Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens. Don’t worry if you can’t make it on the way there – a visit on the way back from the region is also a good idea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Spend some time wandering the vast grounds, breathe in the fresh air and absorb everything that one of the country’s best-maintained botanical gardens has to offer. Of particular interest to bird watching enthusiasts, the gardens are home to more than 220 bird species, as well as the ever-popular breeding pair of Black Eagles nesting on the cliffs above the waterfall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Take in some wildlife</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now that your interest in wildlife has been ignited, head through to the Krugersdorp Game Reserve, where you can spot more than 180 species of animals, including various large and small antelope, as well as lions which are separated in a large enclosure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
From the Krugersdorp Game Reserve, plan to head through to the core of the action in the Cradle of Humankind – The Maropeng Visitor Centre. It’s a good idea to pick up a combination ticket at the visitor centre, which allows you full access to both Maropeng and the Sterkfontein Caves nearby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Maropeng Visitor Centre & Sterkfontein Caves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Maropeng Visitor Centre is an award-winning establishment that caters for all age groups. There are 2500 square meters of exhibitions that can be viewed from an exciting underground boat ride, and which guide you through the world of fossils, ancient stone tools up to 1 million years old, and how humankind was born. There is also a big emphasis on interaction at Maropeng, which makes it perfect for youngsters as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Leave Maropeng with combo ticket in hand and head to the nearby Sterkfontein Caves. These caves are where the famous 2.1-million-year-old skull of “Mrs. Ples” was discovered, and informative trips are taken down into the caves at regular intervals. The nearby restaurant is a good spot to grab some lunch and plan the rest of your day as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you’re interested in some of the world’s largest and most popular animals, be sure to stop in at the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve, where you can get up close to a selection of wildlife in 1200 hectares of bushveld.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Take in an African sunset at Heia Safari Ranch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Heia Safari Ranch is one of Gauteng’s oldest and most popular tourist attractions and is set in the most perfect tranquil indigenous bushveld. Giraffe, zebra, springbok and wildebeest roam the grounds, and Heia Safari Ranch offers guests a unique African experience that’s sure to leave you yearning for more. There are 50 thatched 2-bedroom bungalows to choose from, each of which have full bathroom facilities, and all the comforts to relax in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind route.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you didn’t manage to fit them in the day before, the Wonder Caves and Cradle Nature Reserve are also well worth a visit. Also be sure to pay a visit to the Lion Park, and stop in at the fascinating Muldersdrift Village before leaving the Cradle for a gentle drive back to the city. Or, of course, you could just continue on to the our Magaliesberg Route for a few more days outside of the hustle of Johannesburg.</div>

The fourth longest river in Africa, and the longest East flowing River in Africa. This mass of water flows “through” six countries. Well, it flows through three, Zambia, Angola and Mozambique and is the river boarder between Zambia and Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Whilst most reports states that the Zambezi rises and heads South West into Angola, in actual fact, the Zambezi flows in all directions of the compass.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFBRrwTlo_e7kYofu7qYouBztyHUU_i9UT5ve8d6W6SBBJNGrRE5SXPEv-JdPl8wmp7LTzkXNO5i4ckGPx-XT5FBK3ElzRxKKgtW50Sgw_ciBYokAajO2dHs98gdTWEUaou_GjRyL_u82X/s1600/20450_zambezi_river_gorges.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFBRrwTlo_e7kYofu7qYouBztyHUU_i9UT5ve8d6W6SBBJNGrRE5SXPEv-JdPl8wmp7LTzkXNO5i4ckGPx-XT5FBK3ElzRxKKgtW50Sgw_ciBYokAajO2dHs98gdTWEUaou_GjRyL_u82X/s1600/20450_zambezi_river_gorges.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The Zambezi rises in North Western Zambia, a tiny bubbling puddle in the Mukangala area in the Mwinilunga district. The site is both a National Monument and located in the Zambezi Source National Forest so is doubly protected. The National Forest is also the home to two endemic plant species, Dissotis glandulosa, a perennial herb, and Elaphoglossum zambesionaum. The river flows North, North East, slowly curving round before the border with the DRC and then flows East towards the Zambia/Angola boarder. Once it crosses over into Angola it starts flowing in a South Westerly direction. The Lumbala joins the Zambezi in Angola just as the river heads back towards Zambia before flowing South, through the Western Province.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This Upper Zambezi portion of the river is a beautiful remote area with a vast floodplain and sparkling white beaches so clean the sand squeaks as you walk on it. Flowing through the Barotse Floodplain the river in full flood can reach a width of 25Km.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTyH5JeWr93UHUjdJfr5aYrXgDGaQrWBEzyGTpT_75jxp19RnYyxRJfDboqbvrMG9FXTJIGhb0sY9ELW6tS3wZH_MywraQh9X-D5LRlaj9PFYSMe3zZ7TiPTsBVOmAkw1FC8QD56Gakmo/s1600/Zambezi-river-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTyH5JeWr93UHUjdJfr5aYrXgDGaQrWBEzyGTpT_75jxp19RnYyxRJfDboqbvrMG9FXTJIGhb0sY9ELW6tS3wZH_MywraQh9X-D5LRlaj9PFYSMe3zZ7TiPTsBVOmAkw1FC8QD56Gakmo/s1600/Zambezi-river-2.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
These floods dominate life, society, culture and the environment. A spectacular ceremony, the Kuomboka takes place every year when the Litunga, the King of the Lozi people, moves from his residence at Lealui to Limulunga on higher ground. Kuomboka means “to get out of water”. The ceremony lasts for five days with the actual Kuomboaka taking place on the third day. With much pomp and ceremony the Litunga boards his vast barge, Nalikwanda, painted black and white with a huge black elephant, complete with ears that flap, on the roof of the pavilion under which the Litunga sits. The Litunga’s wife is transported in a second smaller barge with a cattle egret, with flapping wings, on the top. The Nalikwanda is a spectacular craft of royal proportions with room for the Chief, his attendants, the royal musicians, and at least one hundred traditionally-clad paddlers. The royal barges are accompanied by a huge flotilla of boats, barges and canoes with beating drums and traditional songs. The last two days of the ceremony are a festival of dance and song welcoming the royal family to their second home.<br />
<br />

<br />
And so, the Zambezi flows on South tumbling over the Sioma Falls and the rapids downstream before it meets up with the Zambia/Namibia border and turns to flow towards the East along the Caprivi Strip, a wide, shallow slow flowing river. A brief meeting with Botswana before the river meets the Zimbabwe border.<br />
<br />
The Victoria Falls! Considered the boundary between the upper and middle Zambezi, the river suddenly plunges, the world’s largest sheet of falling water, down one hundred and eight metres into a fissure in the basalitic rock churning in the boiling pot, squeezed through a one hundred and ten metre gap into the Batoka Gorge, zig zagging through six more principle gorges, churning over a succession of rapids before it calms down and flows into Lake Kariba.<br />
<br />
Lake Kariba was created in 1959 following the building of the Kariba Dam wall. One of the largest man-made lakes in the world, this vast lake is truly massive. Travelling on the Lake there is water as far as the eye can see, 220Km long and, 40Km at its widest. The building of the dam was, like all projects of this scale, controversial. Large numbers of Batonga people were resettled and minimally compensated for their loss. The powers that be at the time decided that the economic advantages outweighed the loss to the traditional residents of the area. The name Kariba comes from Kariva, meaning trap, referring to a rock at the entrance to the gorge at the dam site, regarded as the home of Nyaminyami, the River god.<br />
<br />
Today the Lake has developed and changed. Fishing and tourism are the main industries in this truly beautiful place.<br />
<br />
The River is now controlled, harnessed as it is released through the turbines of the power station generating electricity for both Zambia and Zimbabwe. Occasionally, very occasionally, after heavy rains, the gates are opened and the water thunders out. The wall buzzes. Static electricity makes your hair stand on end. Once more the river is constrained to a rock gorge. In some places over 30 metres deep with spectacular hills rising up on both sides. As the river comes out of this gorge and flows on Eastwards the curious onlooker may notice a large, bare patch on the Northern hills, possibly a meteor strike in the late 1970’s when the Rhodesian conflict meant there were very few witnesses in the area.<br />
<br />
Under the Chirundu Bridge and the Otto Beit Bridge, the border post between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The first bridge was built in 1938 – 39, financed by the Beit Trust. This was the first modern suspension bridge outside the US built with parallel wire cables. The increasing number of trucks using the bridge and the restrictions of a single lane made this a very congested crossing so a second bridge was built and opened in 2002.<br />
<br />
The river is now busy with traditional fishermen in dugout canoes, social fishermen trying their luck, canoe safaris drifting downstream. More and more lodges start appearing on the banks of the river. Hippos sunbathe and crocodiles slide quietly into the constant flow, elephant swim and play. If you are very lucky you may see a lioness and her cubs. The cry of the fish eagle as it throws its head right back proclaiming its territory. Officially the Lower Zambezi starts at Cahorra Bassa but in Zambia the area downstream from Chirundu is referred to as the Lower Zambezi. In places the river is shallow with boat catching sandbanks and reed islands. The Lower Zambezi National Park on the Zambian bank and Mana Pools on the Zimbabwean side, a spectacular sanctuary with herds of buffalo, a cautious kudu, a glimpse of a bushbuck, the chance to experience the adrenaline heart thumping of catching a tiger fish, see it jump once, twice, weigh it, photograph it, then release it and watch it dart away.<br />
<br />
Onwards the Zambezi flows, leaving Zambia and entering Mozambique to meet one more dam wall, Cahorra Bassa, before it splits and shreds into the Zambezi Delta and so, into the Indian Ocean. How long would it take a Pooh stick to make that 2 700Km journey, one can only wonder.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Many might wonder what sets The Seychelles apart from its neighbours. The answer is pretty simple, and it has largely to do with the way the islands are promoted. Unlike other island destinations which have becoming hip with party-goers, The Seychelles is the perfect destination for tourists who want nothing more than peace and quiet. Honeymoon couples, meet the paradise you’ve been looking for. Island hopping is also a popular choice among tourists... why not piece together your own customized island hopping experience and take in everything The Seychelles has to offer?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">The fact that you can travel to The Seychelles at any time of the year also helps, because there are a wide variety of activities to offer, such as: hiking, cycling, snorkelling, and sailing. Shopping is certainly not out of the question, and there are many places where you can buy souvenirs from. In addition to this, renting a jeep is also a good way to explore the island you’re visiting, and there are a few national parks just waiting to be discovered.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">The Seychelles’ main islands serve as the perfect point of departure for an island hopping holiday. Islands such as Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue offer many excursions to the smaller islands. Tourists have the option of either picking a day excursion, or an extended stay.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
La Digue is the smallest island of the three, but it offers short trips via ferry daily or on a regular basis to islands such as Grande Soeur or Ille Cocos. Going on such a trip is not a difficult task, and it can easily be arranged with a local travel agency. Ille Cocos houses a marine park where you can enjoy day trips for diving and snorkelling.<br />
<br />
The second largest island, Praslin, offers trips from five minutes to an hour via ferry or charter plane to islands such as: St. Pierre, Cousine, or Curieuse. By contacting the hotel you are staying at, or a travel agent, you have the opportunity to go on an exciting adventure. The island of Curieuse was once a leper colony, but it is now currently home to a famous tortoise rearing project.<br />
<br />
Mahé is the largest island, and therefore the one with the most possibilities for island hopping, either by sea or by air. Some of the chartered flights to islands such as Ste. Anne or Silhouette belong to luxury resorts and exclusive hotels, but many arrangements can be made with hotels or travel agents to get to the destination of your choice. The island of Moyenne, which can be reached via ferry, is of particular interest due to its history as a pirate haunt. Tourists can enjoy a one day excursion to Moyenne in order to swim, hike, and go snorkelling. In addition to this, Eco-tourism is a popular activity, and many enthusiasts travel to Bird Island to admire its large population of land tortoises.<br />
<br />
If you’re planning an island hopping holiday, The Seychelles is an excellent choice. Not only does it offer a wide variety of attractions, but it also allows you to choose which islands to visit in a short period of time.</div>

Kikuchi’s disease, or necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenitis, is a rare disease that presents predominantly in young women in their 20s and 30s. Our case depicts an African-American male, in his sixth decade of life, presenting with Kikuchi’s disease, making our case unusual. The clinical presentation, together with laboratory and pathological tests described here, specifically the utilization of immunohistochemistry, aid in establishing a diagnosis. We advocate the use of anabolic steroids as symptomatic therapy and provide a novel and successful therapeutic regimen. We do not recommend antibiotic therapy until an infectious etiology is confirmed.<br />
<br />
The etiology of Kikuchi’s disease is not entirely known. It has been linked to sequela of infection by human herpes virus 6, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and even human T-lymphotropic virus. Recent reports had suggested links between Kikuchi’s disease and HHV-8 or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Some case reports have linked Kikuchi’s disease to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as well, as patients who attributed their symptoms to Kikuchi’s disease went on to develop SLE. This mitigates the hypothesis that Kikuchi’s disease may be an autoimmune disease. Serologic tests confirmed that our patient was not infected by any of these pathogens. Although his EBV capsid antibody titers were above the normal limit, signifying a past infection, the in situ hybridization for EBV-encoded RNA was negative, indicating he was not actively infected.</div>

There are sacred places which can be found all over the globe, and some of the oldest are located in Egypt. This ancient culture brought us a vast legacy of magic, mythology and history. In addition to their legends, their gods, and their scientific knowledge, the Egyptians built some of the world’s most amazing structures. From both an engineering standpoint and a spiritual one, the Great Pyramid of Giza is in a class all by itself.</div>

Considered a sacred site by people the world over, the Great Pyramid is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World, and was built around 4,500 years ago. It is believed to have been constructed as a tomb for the pharoah Khufu, although there has been little evidence to this effect. The pyramid is often referred to as simply Khufu, in honor of the pharaoh.</div>

Many people see the Great Pyramid as an example of sacred geometry in action. Its four sides are aligned precisely with the four cardinal points on a compass - not bad for something constructed long before modern mathematical techniques came into practice. Its positioning also serves as a sundial on the winter and summer solstices, and the spring and fall equinox dates.</div>

On a metaphysical level, for some belief systems the Great Pyramid is a place of great spiritual significance. If the Great Pyramid was used for religious purposes - such as a temple, place of meditation, or holy monument -- rather than as a tomb, then certainly its size alone would make it a place of wonder. The ancient Egyptians saw the shape of the pyramids as a method of providing new life to the dead, because the pyramid represented the form of the physical body emerging from the earth and ascending towards the light of the sun.</div>

Christmas is celebrated throughout the African continent by Christian communities large and small. There are approximately 350 million Christians in Africa. On Christmas day carols are sung from Ghana on down to South Africa. Meats are roasted, gifts are exchanged and family visits made. The Coptic Christians in Ethiopia and Egypt celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December in their calendar, which is the 7th of January for most of the rest of us. Kwanzaa is not celebrated in Africa, as it's an African-American holiday. And unless you're in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, there's little chance of anyone enjoying a white Christmas in Africa. Even in some of Africa's predominantly Muslim countries, Christmas is still marked for celebration. In Dakar, Senegal's capital, hawkers are happy to sell plastic trees and inflatable santas. "While secularism may mean elsewhere that each person is free to celebrate his or her own holidays, many in Senegal have interpreted it to mean they should celebrate all holidays."<br />

Those who can afford it will generally give gifts at Christmas but the holiday is not nearly as commercial as it is in Europe or the Americas. The emphasis is more on the religious aspect of celebrating the birth of Jesus and singing in church, than it is on gift giving. The most common thing bought at Christmas is a new set of clothes to be worn to the church service. Many Africans are too poor to be able to afford presents for their kids and there aren't too many toy stores in rural Africa to shop at anyway. If gifts are exchanged in poorer communities they usually come in the form of school books, soap, cloth, candles and other practical goods.<br />

As in most Christian cultures, celebrating Christmas dinner with friends and family tops the list after attending church. In most countries Christmas is a public holiday and people take the opportunity to visit friends and family. In East Africa goats are quickly snapped up at the local markets and roasted on Christmas day. In South Africa the sun is hot and the beaches are full of families enjoying braais (bbq's) or traditional Christmas dinners with paper hats, mince pies, turkey and plum pudding (a vestige of the British colonial legacy.) In Ghana Christmas dinner is not complete without fufu and okra soup and in Liberia rice, beef and biscuits are the order of the day. Zimbabweans make sure there's plenty of bread, jam and tea to eat along with their goat meat.<br />

Decorating shop fronts, mango trees, churches and homes is common throughout African Christian communities. You may see fake snow decorating store fronts in Nairobi, palm trees laden with candles in Ghana, or oil palms loaded with bells in Liberia.<br />

In the middle of Africa, things run very differently from at home. It’s very important to be sensitive to your surroundings, both cultural and environmental – not only will it make your safari experience more enjoyable, but it will also have substantially less impact on the animals you’re viewing and your hosts.<br />
<br />

Here are some tips for anyone going on safari:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Be as quiet possible at all times (this is extra important if you’re considering taking small children on safari). Avoid making any noise that will attract or frighten wildlife.</li>
<li>Be as unobtrusive as possible: wear the neutral coloured clothing (khaki, white, light brown) while walking in the bush.</li>
<li>Dress and behave respectfully to avoid offending local people.</li>
<li>Do not litter – everything you carry in you must carry out. Aside from the environmental damage, litter can be harmful to the wildlife. Waste disposal can be difficult in remote areas – remove all unnecessary packaging before you travel.</li>
<li>Don’t encourage your guide to take you too close to the animals or to change the driving route; they will feel pressured. Remember that they are the professionals and know best.</li>
<li>Never pick plants and flowers.</li>
<li>Obey all game laws and regulations, and respect the fact that your guide must also obey these rules.</li>
<li>Do not buy or trade for any articles covered under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). These include ivory, turtle products, rhino horn, furs, butterflies and many plant species.</li>

<li>Support the community by buying locally crafted souvenirs. Haggling is expected, but be aware that what may seem to be a very small sum to you can make a big difference to a local, so don’t force them into reducing their prices too drastically.</li>
<li>If you wish to make a charitable donation – such as writing equipment for students – it’s better to give through a local organisation or school, as handing things out on the street encourages begging.</li>
<li>As a courtesy, ask before you take a picture of someone, but think twice if they request payment.</li>
<li>Be aware that water is a scarce resource in many places, so use it very sparingly. Sign up to Tourism Concern’s WET pledge to support the organisation’s campaign to ensure water rights are protected.</li>

By observing these suggestions (many of which are simply common sense), you’ll find yourself at ease with locals and your surroundings. Avoiding tension or embarrassment with the locals, and respecting the animals and their habitat will mean that your safari holiday is a better experience for all involved.<br />

The Boma restaurant is a classic tourist venue set in the lovely grounds of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. Dinner at the Boma is a legendary affair, with what looks like literally hundreds of local dishes served in buffet style, including impala terrine and sadza. A witchdoctor is available to tell your fortune by throwing his bones; dancers entertain with Shona and Ndebele acts; and then ... there's the vat of Mopane worms.<br />
<br />
Most people who enjoy Mopane worms obviously do not get certificates when they eat a solitary grub. Normally, you'll see huge bags of dried and/or smoked Mopane worms in local markets throughout rural Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Namibia. They're greyish looking when dried (after their green guts have been squeezed out) and at first glance you might think they're a bean of some kind.<br />
<br />
Mopane worms get their English name from hanging out on Mopane trees which are prevalent in Southern Africa. And they are not worms, but caterpillars, the larvae of the Emperor Moth. The best time to harvest them is when they are at maximum plumpness, late in their larval stage and before they bury themselves in order to re-appear as an Emperor moth. The Mopane worms like the Mopane tree, but they also feed off mango trees and other bushes. They are a seasonal delicacy, but you can also buy cans of Mopane worms soaked in brine in some local supermarkets. I looked around in vain for them at local Spars and Shoprites -- but failed to find them on my last trip to the area. Great souvenir idea I thought.<br />
<br />
Mopane (sometimes spelled Mopani) worms are called phane in Botswana, mashonja in Zimbabwe and parts of South Africa, and omangungu in Namibia. Nutritionally they pack a punch consisting of 60% protein along with good amounts of iron and calcium. Since they require little input in the way of resources, it has become a valuable and profitable source of food and income. In South Africa it is a muli-million Rand industry. I heard complaints about the smaller size of mopane in a rural market in Livingstone, Zambia. Most likely a case of harvesting them too soon. Deforestation and over-harvesting are both issues that are affecting the supply of mopane worms.</div>

<br />
When you're planning a trip to Africa, knowing when the rainy season or wet season and the dry season falls, helps determine the best time to go. In general, the best time to go on safari is during the dry season because water is scarce and animals will congregate around existing water holes. The grass is lower affording better visibility and the dirt roads are navigable. All of these factors help you enjoy a successful safari. But the heat can be intense depending on where and when you plan to travel. So while cold temperatures are not a huge issue in Africa (although it does snow in some parts), hot weather can make or break your trip.<br />
<br />
In some regions the heat during the rainy season is worse than during the dry season because of the added discomfort of humidity. This is especially the case as you get closer to the coast. The weather is unpredictable of course, and rains do fail causing untold hardship to millions of subsistence farmers in Africa. Some years too much rain falls on the parched soil, and floods cause huge damage. In general, the "wet season" means buckets of rain fall from sky for a few hours a day, and then it will go back to being nice and sunny. If you're looking to save some money, traveling during the wet season is the way to go. It's also the best time to see birds and baby animals.<br />
<br />
<b>The Rainy and Dry Season in East Africa </b>- The hottest time of year in East Africa is during the dry season from December to March. Northern Tanzania and Kenya experience two rainy seasons, the long rains from April to June and a shorter rain from November to December.<br />
<br />
<b>The Rainy and Dry Season in Southern Africa</b> - The dry season in southern Africa is during the cooler months from May - August. The rainy (wet) season is also the hottest time of year in southern Africa, and generally runs from November to March.<br />
<br />
<b>Winter and Summer in North Africa </b>- North Africa generally has mild winters (December - February), perfect for visiting tombs and monuments in hot deserts or taking a camel safari in the Sahara. The summer months in North Africa (June - September) are blazing hot. Head to the beaches or mountains if you plan to visit during this time, or make sure your hotel has a pool to cool off in the heat of the day. Summers are usually bone dry.<br />
<br />
<b>Winter and Summer in South Africa </b>- South Africa is far south enough from the equator to enjoy a somewhat traditional summer and winter season (although its geography doesn't make this quite so simple). South Africa's summers (November to March) are generally warm with average temperatures around 77 Fahrenheit (25 C).<br />
<br />
If you are traveling to the Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius, Madagascar or Reunion, avoid the rainy season January - March because it is also "cyclone" season. Cyclones and hurricanes are extremely rare in The Seychelles.</div>

Africa is the second largest continent, just after Asia. Africa is three times larger than Europe and twice as big as South America. It also has the most border crossings, with 53 countries within its territory. With so much land to cover, traveling through Africa is not an easy endeavor. Although you need to think about convenience and distances to cover, you also have to worry about safety, as many countries in Africa are in turmoil.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Step 1 </i></b>- Make a list of the places you want to visit beforehand. Some countries require visas in advance, while others will give you a visa when you cross the border, either by land or via an airport. This will affect the way you travel, as you'll need to adapt to the visa regulations.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Step 2 </i></b>- Fly whenever possible, especially if you need to cover long distances. Carjacking is a common problem in South Africa and other African countries. You also need to worry about bad roads, rebel attacks and other dangers, especially if you're traveling in Central Africa. Flights inside Africa are not expensive, especially if you stick to local airlines.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Step 3</i></b> - Hire a car with driver if possible. This is common in East Africa, where the economy is slightly better and private cars are available. Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and other countries are ideal places to have a driver. The roads can be dangerous, and a local driver will know what areas to avoid and the best routes to take.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Step 4</i></b> - Use the mini-vans and small buses for local city travel. They're common all over Africa. They might not be the most comfortable or safe for long-distance travel, but they're fine for exploring the city. You'll need to check information on the specific country you're visiting. For example, Ethiopia's public transportation is safe and in better shape than buses in West Africa.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Step 5 </i></b>- Skip the dangerous countries. You don't want to travel through Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Sudan or Cote d'Ivoire. These countries have had problems with civil wars, rebel fights and violent conflict since the 1980s. If you need to get from Zambia to Uganda, for example, either fly or drive through Tanzania. A drive through Congo might be faster but also much more dangerous.</div>

<h4>
Tomb Tutanhomon after more than three thousand years has come down to us almost intact, is considered one of the most important discoveries in archeology. Since 1922, when Howard Carter discovered the burial in the "Valley of Kings" near Thebes, a little-known Tutanhomon became perhaps the most famous pharaoh in history. Inside the tomb British Carter and Lord Carnarvon discovered numerous decorations, household items, furniture, works of art of that era, as well as a gold sarcophagus weighing more than 110 pounds with the mummified body of the young king of ancient Egypt.<br />From March 9 to September 1, 2013 Tutanhomona sarcophagus and treasures from the tomb can be seen in a unique exhibition in Berlin.</h4>

Luxor, a city on the site where a few thousand years ago was the capital of ancient Egypt - Thebes. This and a number of various antiquities, which attract millions of tourists. Generally ancient Thebes consisted of two parts - the "city living", where the pharaohs ruled, and "City of the Dead", where they were buried.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Statues of Amenhotep III.</b> Earlier they were standing in front of the funerary temple of Pharaoh, but for three thousand years, the Nile washed away the temple, and statues themselves in the 27th BC damaged by the earthquake. One statue obtained from cracks in the ancient world has earned the reputation of a "singing", so that even in those years here were pulled crowds.</div>

Total in the world today there are about 800 species of mountain gorillas (all in central Africa - Uganda, Rwanda, DR Congo). In the forests of Virunga National Park, inhabited by several families that are visited by tourists. The family consists of a leader, several females and young animals. To one family can come for a visit a day up to 6 people and only 1 hour.<br />
<br />
Gorillas do not sit in one place. Every day, the family moved to a new location. Park rangers track these movements, so a successful visit by the guest is almost guaranteed.<br />

In Africa, there is a tribe called Fulani. The boys are obsessed with the male beauty. Before marriage, each youth must take part in the 7-day beauty contest. To look like real model, every young person uses makeup, trying to be like an attractive woman. The lips are covered by a special dark lipstick, and her head is decorated with curls. The desired effect is achieved by hanging on both sides of his face strands sheep beards, beads and rings. During the seven-day marathon of beauty built young man in a long line and gently, with a graceful woman, shaking her hips.<br />

In order to further emphasize its irresistible male beauty, they roll out the eyes and bare the teeth, thus demonstrating their remarkable whiteness. However, the presence of abundant plaster on his face and wiggle your hips, not all. The following is the test of physical endurance, which would not like the modern "dandies." Each of the participants in the male beauty contest chooses a man, so that he carved it as a gray goat.<br />
<br />
When a young man lashed with his whip on the ocher-colored edges, it must prove his courage, and, hence, sexy, quiet, no dodging, surviving torture.<br />

According to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">World Wildlife Fund (WWF)</span>, all 21 species of primates that live mainly in forested areas of the island, are threatened with extinction.<br /><br />According to a survey conducted by researchers among the inhabitants of 1.2 thousand households east of Madagascar, it was found that indigenous <span style="font-weight: bold;">Malagasies</span> (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Malagasy</span>) is virtually gone. Meanwhile, traditionally the locals were the protectors of the lemurs, honoring them as grandparents.<br /><br />However, the processes of globalisation associated with the arrival of foreign workers in gold mines, led to the violation of cultural taboos, reports RIA. For immigrants the local taboos are nothing but lemurs - only animals that can be used as food.<br /><br />The problem of extinction of lemurs activists began to talk a few years ago, but now the situation has become critical. Scientists are reminded that hunting in these primates leads to rapid destruction of their as lemurs reach sexual maturity only at nine years and produce offsprings only once at 2-3 years.<br /><br />Now their population is rapidly decreasing, and if we do not take any action - for example, does not prohibit the hunting of lemurs in law, these animals in the forests of Madagascar will simply disappear.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim6wFno5fdHRYU32GM7Uvk7YkJVdeS4NUfaC-x7Rpu2903gTJ_yiFKKjJ4SzFURFFGIieuX5Q9bjcRE0HqEdnt036BgyZofL251xtG_zxfH_J0ZUF8H1Z6rZN0qlCb1KxNbJXbquV7Y-Z7/s1600/lemur-of-madagascar.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 355px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim6wFno5fdHRYU32GM7Uvk7YkJVdeS4NUfaC-x7Rpu2903gTJ_yiFKKjJ4SzFURFFGIieuX5Q9bjcRE0HqEdnt036BgyZofL251xtG_zxfH_J0ZUF8H1Z6rZN0qlCb1KxNbJXbquV7Y-Z7/s400/lemur-of-madagascar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699671365675880210" border="0" /></a>Sharon Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06410636170952898122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240168980103398820.post-89143229743395823872011-10-04T01:07:00.000-07:002011-10-04T01:10:35.450-07:00The New Luxury Hotel Opened In Kenya<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8KNlnMgg-TvPwZ6y1s3Hcj8ech3dH1mt47pzdJEl8Hi2F3Cb_bmuOvcRmd-PJVm23VuBHZaDNAC9pG94POYEyivdCKMldDiOmEBiMaBK67rH9wIAQRYlMNyK8r8uZv8Qs66WcID_sHl_h/s1600/serena_elementaita.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8KNlnMgg-TvPwZ6y1s3Hcj8ech3dH1mt47pzdJEl8Hi2F3Cb_bmuOvcRmd-PJVm23VuBHZaDNAC9pG94POYEyivdCKMldDiOmEBiMaBK67rH9wIAQRYlMNyK8r8uZv8Qs66WcID_sHl_h/s400/serena_elementaita.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659546073710290082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_gfBZAmKl6Z0K4YCtzQwbKsiUrMIOCx8_ShBH4pbT7YS9dMKa_8KNGjd7nVmbO1mK0MIYyB94YFyC-KqTt_RaBKDIL3f7MWcpj4l82TEHId6s6FQl-t0CnwmQDzbvrw_nrDcmB2QFMCSL/s1600/grounds-and-exterior.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_gfBZAmKl6Z0K4YCtzQwbKsiUrMIOCx8_ShBH4pbT7YS9dMKa_8KNGjd7nVmbO1mK0MIYyB94YFyC-KqTt_RaBKDIL3f7MWcpj4l82TEHId6s6FQl-t0CnwmQDzbvrw_nrDcmB2QFMCSL/s400/grounds-and-exterior.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659545997984119058" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pvauQaxmvgc9eLXFq6gfsEpzheEv9-uck2D1oxGvlOt2MYRgn4wUE61LgIGtmyCruiCq43ArOScvDHuNbCWTvhuiob9FC5Jd1ID6gCJESnjCFkjzmmjEgvQsmkX03kPB0-I6lRbWs9TT/s1600/serena_elementaita_lodge.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 128px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pvauQaxmvgc9eLXFq6gfsEpzheEv9-uck2D1oxGvlOt2MYRgn4wUE61LgIGtmyCruiCq43ArOScvDHuNbCWTvhuiob9FC5Jd1ID6gCJESnjCFkjzmmjEgvQsmkX03kPB0-I6lRbWs9TT/s400/serena_elementaita_lodge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659545934306279074" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A new hotel <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lake Elmenteita Serena</span> had been opened in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kenya</span>.

Long-term armed conflicts have caused irreparable harm to the wildlife of this country. According to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">WWF (World Wildlife Fund, WWF)</span>, the hunting of hippos doing almost everything here, without limitation, soldiers and rebels and poachers. The carcass of the herbivore and can be purchased today for just $ 50, and his teeth are the subject of illegal trade and are valued on a par with ivory. To reduce the population affected by the fact that on the shores of Lake Edward, which is located inside the reserve, had settled thousands of fishermen. The lake is very attractive for Congolese: it is teeming with fish owing to hippos, saturating the water with nutrients.<br /><br />Aerial view of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Virunga National Park</span> has shown that once the world's largest population of these animals is on the verge of extinction. Virunga park covers an area of about 790 000 hectares and is characterized by an exceptional variety of habitats - from the swamps and steppes to the plains to the savannas and valleys of lava on the slopes of volcanoes. In the tropical forests of the park inhabited by mountain gorillas and Siberian birds come here to winter. In a special study, organized by WWF, the European Union and the Congolese conservation institute, found that in the park there are only 887 hippos, despite the fact that two years ago, there were 1309 individuals. And in 1974, in the rivers in the reserve 29 000 hippos lived.<br /><br />These animals have long been included in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Red Book</span> of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, but not cut it does not help. Poachers do not stop even the risk of never returning from the hunt - a wounded hippo becomes very aggressive, attacking his pursuers, and can easily bite a person in half.<br /><br />Reserves and National Parks - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Virunga</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Upemba</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Garamba</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kahuzi-Biega, Salonga North, South Salonga</span> and others - account for nearly 15% of the Congo. The humid climate of the country's lush jungles to keep alive - the latest in the world of vast tropical forests, inhabited by a variety of wildlife. Only in the Congo, for example, are found okapi - a small forest animals of the family of giraffes, which became a national symbol of the country. In savannas south of the country inhabited by lions, leopards and antelope. Destruction of hippos cause irreparable damage to the local ecological balance of nature.Sharon Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06410636170952898122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240168980103398820.post-2214664126636258442011-09-28T01:49:00.000-07:002011-09-28T02:06:29.884-07:00Rwanda - the most popular country in East Africa<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpETOwE6nGDfDqjkWQwMmglCcuD0t_CLMdoAWnO2AzNdALV0TGTUW-o8Y_pFJ5dwfU5bbTHOiC0qKEgHe56PMthGJ9LNOl5OYcb1PtSlh8JWFpWLf7uWnuJG0GOcrZyyGt4Qk5Pjy7laV/s1600/rwanda-gorilla.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpETOwE6nGDfDqjkWQwMmglCcuD0t_CLMdoAWnO2AzNdALV0TGTUW-o8Y_pFJ5dwfU5bbTHOiC0qKEgHe56PMthGJ9LNOl5OYcb1PtSlh8JWFpWLf7uWnuJG0GOcrZyyGt4Qk5Pjy7laV/s400/rwanda-gorilla.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657332837869494434" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid4Yh7AWxpjOPLd8OEWU4KwkylDhcYLh1f68clGh0uYrlL7eA_ao5xPd9qu_pR4MUt4SD67G-OUpAe1FbvcgRVKd5SVLjAmA_oxXxiw5Zkyms1BvJ_bLTfuIFBQM0KQWgGqAJywhihzirT/s1600/rwanda-travel.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid4Yh7AWxpjOPLd8OEWU4KwkylDhcYLh1f68clGh0uYrlL7eA_ao5xPd9qu_pR4MUt4SD67G-OUpAe1FbvcgRVKd5SVLjAmA_oxXxiw5Zkyms1BvJ_bLTfuIFBQM0KQWgGqAJywhihzirT/s400/rwanda-travel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657333344745589746" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBceJCS044NEQ_BqGJuRybUbmNHIQjpvsUtWUkCxR_8I2XjF0UhQtNLy4WTLrTF83l0AXrqIhHJfN_EPJ6kMeMlhnmwwGsf6PIekRdHbJOf3y3wCKeYGqK96LvDmQtxHSAzsXdJ1W2WOq4/s1600/Nyungwe-Park.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBceJCS044NEQ_BqGJuRybUbmNHIQjpvsUtWUkCxR_8I2XjF0UhQtNLy4WTLrTF83l0AXrqIhHJfN_EPJ6kMeMlhnmwwGsf6PIekRdHbJOf3y3wCKeYGqK96LvDmQtxHSAzsXdJ1W2WOq4/s400/Nyungwe-Park.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657333525843709426" border="0" /></a><br /><br />According to research experts from the <span style="font-weight: bold;">World Economic Forum in Rwanda</span> - the only country in the whole of East Africa receiving the highest marks among tourists.

<br />The westerly capital city of Kinshasa is amongst the safest parts of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Democratic Republic of the Congo</span> and offers modern hotels, a burgeoning tourism scene and some basic tourist information, with its Ministry of Tourism being located on the Avenue Batetela in the Gombe district. The cities of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Goma</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kisangani</span> are also appealing in their own way, with Goma being home to Lake Kivu, and Kisangani being an important river port.

<br />In savannas south of the country inhabited by lions, leopards and antelope. The main attraction of the country - the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Congo River.</span> Although the river is officially called Zaire from 1971, its wild appearance is inextricably linked with the mysterious, full of secrets in history, during which the country was known as the Congo - the Portuguese corruption of the West African word meaning "river, the river swallowed everything." On the shores of this fantastic river, and actually feel the awe of the power of nature: more than 4370 km. in length, with a swimming pool area of 3.9 million square meters. km., it is inferior to water flow only Amazon, spilling into the Atlantic Ocean almost 42.5 thousand cubic meters. meters of water per second.
<br />
<br />In the equatorial humid tropical forest, there are some of the most dense and impenetrable thickets in the world, oak, mahogany, ebony and Hevea exceed a height of 60 meters and under their crowns interlocking reigns eternal twilight. Under this colossal canopy is a genuine ad from an extremely dense thickets, stifling humid heat, dangerous animals - crocodiles, pythons, cobras, hairy wild pigs and poisonous spiders - and debilitating, including even deadly diseases - malaria, and other . And finally, the mysterious labyrinth lies between the river and fabulous lunar mountains - the backbone of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rwenzori</span>, which is a watershed for eastern Zaire.Sharon Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06410636170952898122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240168980103398820.post-71881496232582634972011-06-17T05:05:00.000-07:002011-06-17T06:00:14.404-07:00Dogon Plateau In Mali<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIXWU5Q96lrlX5zC4U0588eDUJOxmCetKYXbtLOi6A-YWc0SgKOp5Kl68hiY_A7CLPd72D0Wjmem0ccfMRDDGHzPITEJ5bNSakMF7NmgJ85-vveWdU8X4LgN87kwlKS3AyzQv9x0ZdxF6R/s1600/dogon.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIXWU5Q96lrlX5zC4U0588eDUJOxmCetKYXbtLOi6A-YWc0SgKOp5Kl68hiY_A7CLPd72D0Wjmem0ccfMRDDGHzPITEJ5bNSakMF7NmgJ85-vveWdU8X4LgN87kwlKS3AyzQv9x0ZdxF6R/s400/dogon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619172671942699570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7VPZiVk9NN2yRrLjlzRUmpg1Np_fAAnF3vV7L2EmW6tu8EJvfk05CAqLcYYEtCPNbG6IGVR23DT-qXA-EK5TYWBkgdevvigHLCn-mmxAJI7uMAFNx1FEAMy9Xzkl3rWJKAO1j8Z8642EP/s1600/dogon-village.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7VPZiVk9NN2yRrLjlzRUmpg1Np_fAAnF3vV7L2EmW6tu8EJvfk05CAqLcYYEtCPNbG6IGVR23DT-qXA-EK5TYWBkgdevvigHLCn-mmxAJI7uMAFNx1FEAMy9Xzkl3rWJKAO1j8Z8642EP/s400/dogon-village.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619172606741164866" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Earth of Dogon (Bandiagara plateau)</span> are in the area of the city Duentsa.
