Travel

I just found a nice site which should whet the appetite of the armchair traveller!  Have a look at http://www.earthtv.com .  Some lovely views of life around Udaipour, India;  Sydney, St Andrews, Canada; Venice, Vienna, and a new cam installed showing the huge Sultan Qaboos Mosque in Muscat, capital of Oman.

i was recommended by a friend to this website and everything seems to be lovely and its making me throughly excited to go on Safari.

i was just wondering if anyone has used this company? and any thoughts?

FOR many travelers, an African wildlife safari is a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Making it happen takes planning; like the leopard, you must stalk your prey. But look before you pounce; it's a jungle out there.

Hi all,

with my houseband and 2 friends are planning a holiday in Africa for the next summer (10 or 12 days in August). We think to make a fly and drive travel in Botswana. There are a lot of itinerary in the guidebooks, but we would like to know from you if this is an easy or difficult thing. Last year we stayed in Namibia with a full organized tour, but if the 2 countries are similar, we think it will be possible for us do the same by ourself in Botswana.

So, we need some suggestions from you! Thanx in advance.

Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post on the forum. We're making plans for our first trip to South Africa next August.  Our rough plan is to stay in Kruger for about 9 nights and 4 nights in Sabi Sands.

I've been looking at Elephant Plains Lodge or Arathusa Lodge in Sabi Sands. Can anyone recommend one of these lodges? I wonder if wildlife viewing from the lodge itself at Aratusha will be better then EPL as it seems Arathusa overlooks a bigger waterhole ? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Hi all

I am thinking about a travel to South Africa , and i would like to be in the area Sabi Sands, Kruger and Djuma.

I would like to stay in the lodges that i see on webcams. Nkorho, Leopardhills and Djuma.

I dont need a 5 star room, i can do with an airbed and a sleepingbed, as long as as it is safe to sleep! so even a 1 * can do as long as bed bugs dont bite me.

I want/need a car so i can go were-ever i want to go and be Free.

The Flight to Johannesburg seems pretty easy! ?

These questions about South Africa were posted on a South African Tourism Website and were answered by the website owner.

Q: Does it ever get windy in South Africa ? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK )
A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.

Q: Will I be able to see elephants in the street? ( USA )
A: Depends how much you've been drinking.

Q: I want to walk from Durban to Cape Town - can I follow the railroad tracks? ( Sweden )
