			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Namibia offers one of the best destinations for classic hunting safaris in Africa. The country boasts significant numbers the big five that can be found anywhere in Africa such as the African Buffalo, Lion, Leopard as well as plenty of other game species like Roan, Kudu, Sable, Eland, Waterbuck, etc. Besides the wealth of wildlife, <strong>Namibia</strong> features a dry and delightful climate which makes hunting spectacular like no place else on earth. Travelers to Namibia are destined for unforgettable and unique encounters in the African wildlife jungles.<br />
Most <strong>Hunting safaris</strong> in <strong>Namibia</strong> are usually big cat hunts designed to get the hunter a lion or leopard. The major task usually is to make a fast and perfect placed shot at short range. Specialized <strong>Namibia</strong><strong> tour operators</strong> should be able to give you the desired experience in all Hunting and touring packages including booking comfortable accommodations.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>GAME HUNTING HOTSPOTS IN NAMIBIA</strong></span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kalahari Desert</span></strong><br />
The Kalahari Desert in south-east Namibia is an area of ancient red dunes scattered with grass and low bush and umbrella-shaped Camelthorn trees. It is one of the most famous places to hunt big game animals, such as lions, hyenas, and a variety of other wildlife that populate the surrounding area. However, hunters sometimes must trek great distances on game walks and game drives led by chief hunter-gatherers of the desert, the San Bushmen <em>(Basarwa</em>).<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
Klawerberg</span></strong><br />
Located in the Dordabis Conservancy of the central region of Namibia, Klawerberg proudly presents the hunter 24,000 privately owned acres of magnificent prime game hunting territory. 22 species of African game are sighted in abundance, including the Kudu, Oryx, Zebra, Blesbok, Hartebeest, Springbok, Warthog, Eland and Wildebeest. Numerous smaller game and a wealth of bird life can also be seen.<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
Etosha</span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> National Park</span></strong><br />
Etosha National Park is one of the prime African plains trophy hunting spots. This extensive national park shelters large herds of Springbok, Plain Zebra, Blue Wildebeest and Oryx. Hyenas, Lions and Elephants are regular visitors and often become a problem when they collide with the humans. The Park also has the black rhino which is considered endangered. A plains game hunter will seldom be offered to shoot one of those problem animals. Hunters that are prepared to arrive on short notice (within 5 days) can experience a big game hunt for a reduced price.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br />
Khomas</strong><strong> Hochland Mountains</strong></span><br />
Situated 40 miles west of the capital, Windhoek, the foothills of beautiful mountainous Khomas Hochland are some of those hunting areas that are home to the largest free roaming Mountain Zebras and Oryx in southern Africa. Fly camps are popularly used in the more remote regions for overnight.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Other Hunting Destinations</strong><strong><br />
</strong></span><strong>Bushmanland Areas</strong><strong><br />
Farm Natalia, Eastern Areas<br />
Caprivi Strip</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong></strong><strong>Hunting Season</strong> <strong>in Namibia</strong></span><br />
In General the hunting season in Namibia opens in February and runs through November. The 10 months long period incorporates four seasons. There are no particular months when plains game hunting is necessarily better, but time constraints or personal considerations such as weather, touring, wing shooting, bow hunting or specific seasonal activities might make a certain period of time more desirable to you.<br />
Keep in mind while contemplating about your hunting tour to Namibia, that since the country lies in the Southern hemisphere, seasons are opposite of those in the Northern hemisphere.<br />
In reality our Namibian climate is pleasantly low in humidity, the dry heat being much more tolerable and therefore more conducive to hunting safaris than is the case in most other destinations for hunting in Africa.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Rwanda</strong> features a pleasurable <strong>temperate tropical highland </strong>climate that is moderately between hot and cold. Owing to its location just south of the equator, the country’s high altitude highly influences temperatures for most part of the year.<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><br />
RAIN SEASON</strong></span><br />
Rainfall varies geographically, with the west and north-west of the country receiving more precipitation annually than the east and southeast. There are two rainy seasons in the year; <strong>Mid February</strong> through to the start of <strong>June</strong> is the long rainy season in <a href="http://www.guideforafrica.com/rwanda/rwanda-travel.html"><strong>Rwanda</strong></a>. So travelers are cautioned about travel to Rwanda during this period. Most of Rwanda&#8217;s unsurfaced roads become impassable and the mosquitoes arrive in full force. But it is the best season for <strong>chimp tracking</strong> in <a href="http://www.guideforafrica.com/rwanda/nyungwe-national-park.html"><strong>Nyungwe</strong><strong> Forest</strong></a><strong>.</strong> The short rain spell last from <strong>October</strong> to <strong>mid Decembe</strong>r. The period is however characterized by quite heavy down pours particularly in the eastern mountains. It is equally not an ideal tourist period especially for <a href="http://www.ugandasafariholiday.com/rwanda/3day-gorilla-tracking-kigali.html"><strong>gorilla trekking</strong></a>.<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><br />
DRY SEASON</strong></span><br />
There are also two distinct dry seasons; the long dry season in Rwanda occurs between <strong>June</strong> and <strong>late September</strong>. The country is exceptionally hot, dry and dusty. The skies are clear. Virtually there are no signs of any rain. However, this is the best time to travel to Rwanda for hiking in Nyungwe Forest and the best time to go <a href="http://www.guideforafrica.com/rwanda/rwanda-gorilla.html">tracking gorillas</a> in <a href="http://www.guideforafrica.com/rwanda/volcanoes.html"><strong>Volcanoes</strong><strong> National Park</strong></a>. The short dry spell comes from <strong>December</strong> to  early <strong>February</strong>.<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><br />
<img class="alignnone" title="Mountain Gorillas" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/rwanda2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /><br />
<span style="color: #008000;">Mountain Gorillas, Rwanda Premier Safari Attractions</span><br />
Temperature in Rwanda</strong></span><br />
Temperature variations across the country are so pronounced; the mountainous west is generally cooler than the lower-lying east. Although average daytime temperatures generally hover around 75°F in the lower mountains, and a much cooler 55°F along the higher mountains. Night time temperatures average in the 60s.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">When is the best time to visit Rwanda?</span></strong><br />
Rwanda has a diverse landscape, which is beautiful and amazing. The best time to travel to Rwanda depends on the destinations visited. However, the beauty about Rwanda is that visitors can travel at just about any time of year. The dry season from the middle of <strong>May</strong> to <strong>mid-Octobe</strong>r present a more ideal travel time. For visitors planning to track the Mountain gorillas, the dry season is more pleasant, as are any months except for <strong>July</strong> and <strong>August</strong>.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">What to Pack</span></strong><br />
Rwanda, being a tropical destination adjacent the equator experiences stronger sun stronger, so travelers who are sensitive to the sun should consider packing lightweight long sleeved shirt and long pants for the hot &amp; dry season. For night time, especially in the uplands and more mountainous parts of the country, it’s a good idea to carry warm clothing. We shouldn&#8217;t forget to carry with you an ample amount of malaria medications because of the prevalent mosquitoes during the wet seasons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guideforafrica.com gives as much possible information on Public, gazetted and national <strong>holidays in Burkina Faso </strong>for the Calendar year 2012. All the public holidays as declared by the government are also applicable to all its employees and they need not work on those days. Some extra optional holidays are also given.<br />
So during these days / periods, you will not be able to access any government services. The Central Bank of the country and other major banking institutions also remain closed, although ATMs stay operational (24 hours service). Some foreign exchange points stay open for just a few hours of the public holiday. However, remember if planning for a visa application or extension, or send something from a post office, or use the main branch of a bank, travelers should endeavor to avoid these days. However, most of the happening hotspots such as resort beaches, night clubs, recreation grounds and small shopping centres generally remain open to their clients.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Below are the Public and National Holidays in</strong> <strong>Burkina Faso</strong> </span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">for the January 2012-December 2012 period.</span><br />
01 January:</strong> New Year’s Day<strong><br />
03 January:</strong> Anniversary of the 1966 Coup d’État<strong><br />
04 February</strong>: Mouloud (Birth of the Prophet) (Islamic Day)<strong><br />
08 March:</strong> Women’s Day (International Day)<strong><br />
09 April:</strong> Easter Monday (Christian Day)<strong><br />

17 May:</strong> Ascension (Christian Day)<strong><br />
04 August:</strong> Revolution Day<strong><br />

26 December</strong>: Boxing Day (Christian Day)<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Note</span></strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">:</span><br />
- Some public holidays are celebrated on the same date every year. This is particularly applicable to the internationally recognized dates.<br />
- The main impact for the tourist during Public Holidays in Burkina Faso<strong> </strong>is the increased competition for travel and accommodation especially to those who use long weekends to get away from the busy centres. It is therefore plausible to make your hotel as well flight bookings well in advance especially for the foreign visitors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nairobi</strong><strong> National Park </strong>situated in <strong>Nairobi City</strong>, <strong>Kenya</strong> is one of the world’s most renowned wildlife sanctuaries being the only protected wildlife area with a variety of animals and birds within a capital city. Also Kenya&#8217;s first national park, Nairobi National Park was established in 1946 and lies approximately 7km south of the city centre with only a fence separating the park&#8217;s wildlife from the city infrastructures. The park stretches over an area of only 117.20 sq km which makes it one of the smallest parks in comparison to the other Africa national parks. The park is so unique that even Nairobi&#8217;s high rising structures can be seen from the park.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Ecosystem</span></strong><br />
Nairobi National Park delights a tremendous savannah ecosystem for nature lovers with a diverse range of habitats and species. It is also the only conserved area of the <strong>Athi-Kapiti ecosystem</strong>, making up less than 10% of this ecosystem. It is dominated by open grass plains punctuated with a few pockets of acacia bushes. The western side has a highland dry forest and a permanent river with a riverine forest in the south. With altitude ranging between 1,533m and 1,760m, Nairobi park features a dry climate for most part of the year.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><img class="alignnone" title="Nairobi safari giraffe" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/nairobi-giraffe.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="201" /><br />
<span style="color: #008000;">Nairobi Safari Giraffe</span><br />
Wildlife</span></strong><br />
The wildlife consists of over 80 recorded wildlife species including African Buffaloes, Cheetahs, Coke&#8217;s Hartebeests, Baboons, Elands, Masai Giraffes, Burchell&#8217;s Zebras, Grant&#8217;s Gazelles, Hippos, Black Rhinoceroses, Leopards, Lions, Thomson&#8217;s Gazelles, Impalas, Ostriches, Vultures and Waterbucks. What visitors may not see here are the elephants. Nairobi National Park also shelters one of Kenya&#8217;s most successful rhinoceros sanctuaries, and it is one of only a few parks where visitors can be certain of seeing a black rhinoceros in its natural habitat.<strong><br />

Bird Life</span></strong><br />
Owing to the presence of abundant water bodies in this wildlife park, a variety of 400 bird varieties have been spotted including migratory species such as Crowned Cranes as well as native species.

Late March presents are more active birding season as the Northern migrants pass through this park.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Getting There</span></strong><br />
Owing to its close proximity to the city you can easily get there by road (10km South of Nairobi City Center). If you are coming from a different country, land to <strong>Jomo</strong><strong> Kenyatta International Airport</strong> from where you can hire a taxi to the park. For safety reasons, its recommendable to access the park in a safari van with company of a local tour operator, alternatively visitors can hop on the KWS bus into the park (usually available on weekends) and this goes for a price ranging between US$55 and US$75 per pax. Visitors can use any of the 7 gates to enter the park.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Entrance charges for foreign visitors to the park are US$65 (adults) and US$25 (children below 18 yrs).</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Uganda</strong><strong> Weather &#8211; Uganda Climate Information, Uganda Weather Forecast, Uganda Climate Guide, Best Times to Visit and Required Clothing for Travelling To Uganda</strong></span><br />
Although <strong>Uganda</strong> has an equatorial location, the climate is not uniform as it’s influenced by altitude. Southern and central Uganda is generally wetter with rain spread throughout the year. The north-eastern region (Karamoja Areas) features the driest climate with cases of droughts in most part of the year.<span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
RAINY SEASON IN UGANDA</span></strong></span><br />
Average annual rainfall is 1000mm in most parts of the country, 500mm in North East and 2000mm in Ssese Islands. The rainy seasons are from April to May and November/December, with the wettest month being May.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Long Rainy Season (March to May)</span></strong><br />
When thinking about when to go to Uganda, bear in mind that the long rainy season comes from March, April till end May.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Short Rainy Season (October to November)</span></strong><br />
This is a period when you can expect it to rain quite heavily in the eastern mountains &#8211; not the best time to visit the country.<span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
DRY SEASON IN UGANDA</span></strong></span><strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Long Dry Season (July to September)</span></strong><br />
The dry season is from July to September. The ground is dry, the roads are in reasonable shape and mosquitoes are less numerous. It is dusty.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Short Dry Season (Mid-December to early February)</span></strong><br />
This is a good time to plan a safari holiday in Uganda including gorillas trekking in <strong>Bwindi Impenetrable National Park</strong> and hiking the Rwenzoris.<span style="color: #008000;"><strong><br />
<img class="alignnone" title="The Rwenzoris" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/rwenzoris.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /><br />
The Rwenzori Ranges<br />
TEMPERATURE IN UGANDA</strong></span><br />
Uganda’s average temperature is about 26 degrees centigrade, with a maximum of 18-35°C degrees and minimum of 8-23°C depending on the part of the country. The hottest months are December, January and February. During this period, temperature reaches maximum at 29°C. Most parts of the country are dusty.<br />
The Central and southern climate is greatly influenced by <strong>Lake Victoria</strong>, which helps regulate the temperatures from varying significantly and increases cloudiness and rainfall.<br />
The high altitude areas such as the mountainous regions of the Rwenzori Ranges “<em>Mountains of the Moon</em>”, Bwindi, Kisoro and Elgon Mountains become much cooler because temperature drops quite low.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">When is the best time to visit Uganda</span></strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">?</span><br />
Generally speaking, the best time to visit Uganda is from December to late February and from June to September. These are the dry seasons in the country. This period is also Uganda’s main travel or tourist season for gorilla trekking and other holiday activities.<br />
Uganda’s peak tourist season runs from December to late February, with secondary peaks running from June to September. Travellers, who prefer fewer crowds and take advantage of discounted accommodation rates, should consider travelling during the low travel season (Usually the months of March to May, October and November).<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">What to Pack</span></strong><br />
It is highly recommended to pack lightweights for the dry weather and warm nights; and warm cover-ups such as jackets for the rainy months and cold evenings.<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">Additional Useful Statistics:</span></span></strong><br />
- Average temperature in Uganda is 21.5°C (71°F)<br />
- Average monthly temperatures is 2 °C<br />
- High temperature is 27°C (81°F) in January, February and March<br />
- Low temperature is 16°C (61°F) August and September<br />
- Driest months are July and January<br />
- Wettest month is May (279mm)<br />
- Lowest point: Lake Albert at 621m<br />
- Highest point: <strong>Margherita Peak</strong> on<strong> Mount Stanley</strong> at 5,110m<br />
All in all, the tropical climate that the country delights makes it an all-year around pleasant travel destination.  There are two reasons, one is its location on the equator and the other one its elevation.  Both of these together give Uganda the gift of near perfect weather and for those coming here on holiday on a Wildlife Safari or simply a cultural visit to Uganda receive the added gift of the weather.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>South Africa Visa Information, Entry Requirements, Tourist, Business, Private Visas to South Africa, Comprehensive Information on South Africa Visa Requirements, Other Visa Types</strong></span><br />
For making a trip to <strong>South Africa</strong>, a land of enchanting beauty, you have to get <strong>South African Visa</strong>. South Africa, like every other sovereign country the world over has the sovereign right to decide who can or cannot enter its territory. Possession of a visa does not guarantee automatic admission to the Republic of South Africa.<br />
Traveling for <strong>South Africa holidays</strong> is really simple and easy; one just has to apply for a visa and you are here, in no time. The South African Embassies are outsourcing the process of applying for a South African visa to various agencies in many countries. One needs to fill a visa application form from the office of South African Embassy of his/her country.<br />
<span style="color: #008000;"><strong>General Visa Requirements to South Africa</strong></span><br />
– A valid passport; all travelers will need a passport valid for at least 90 days following your departure date from South Africa.<br />
– Blank Visa pages; you are required to have at least two un-used pages in your passport, allowing for any necessary stamps upon arrival and departure.<br />
– Proof of sufficient funds in form of bank statements (should be original and certified by the bank; and for the past 3 months), or salary payslips or bursaries, credit cards or traveler&#8217;s cheque.<br />
– Onward / return ticket and, if in transit, proof of sufficient documentation for admission to the country of destination.<br />
– Yellow fever certificates are required if the journey starts or entails passing through the yellow fever belt of Africa or South America.<br />
– Copy of certified birth certificate.<br />
– Visitors should be of sound mind and body.<br />
<span style="color: #008000;"><strong><img class="alignnone" title="sa-visa" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/sa-visa.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="159" /><br />
VISA TYPES</strong></span><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Business Visa</strong></span><br />
The business visa is issued for various reasons such as making feasibility studies, establishing professional and business contacts, and making arrangements for investments. The validity of the visa can vary from one month to twelve months. The fees for the visa are determined administratively, so it is advised that prospective investors consult the appropriate authorities before making application for visas.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Multiple-Entry Visa</strong></span><br />
Foreigners who, because of their business or investments, need to make frequent visits to RSA are issued multiple-entry visas. Their validity ranges from one month to a year. Multiple-Entry Visa fees are determined administratively. So it is paramount that prospective investors consult the appropriate authorities before applying.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ordinary Visa</strong></span><br />
Also the tourist visa is issued at any South African embassy. It grants visitors the permission to enter the country through designated entry points along the borders, airports and harbour stations. However, a person coming from a country with no a South African embassy, is issued a visa any of the entry points in South Africa<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Transit Visa</strong></span><br />
A transit visa is a permission to cross South Africa from one entry point to another and is for people whose purpose in entering South Africa is simply to pass through without visiting. It is issued for a maximum of two weeks. The transit visa is issued only to people with onward tickets, sufficient funds for the crossing in South Africa, and an entry visa for the country of destination.<br />
South Africa has remained one of Africa’s most sought after holiday destinations owing to its natural splendour. The Visas to South Africa are of various types, depending on the purpose of visiting this country. South Africa tourist Visas are meant for those tourists who want to enjoy this country and return back after a short period.<br />
<span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Processing Time</strong></span><br />
Applications should be made well in advance. Although the minimum processing time is 3 business days and maximum10 business days, nationals applying for a visa are advised to apply up to 10 weeks before their departure date.<br />
Please make sure that you have at least two empty pages in your passport before travelling to South Africa.<br />
<span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Who Needs a South Africa Visa?</strong></span><br />
Depending on your nationality, and the duration of your visit, you may not need a visa to visit South Africa at all. <strong>Nationals of the following countries need a visa to South Africa.</strong><br />
British Dependent Territories including Anquilla, Bermuda, British Antartic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory, Cayman Island, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands, Sovereign Base Area of Akrotiri and Dhekelia and the Turks and Caicos Islands.<br />
<strong>For applicants intending to stay in RSA for a period of more than 90 consecutive days, the following requirements may also be required</strong>;<br />
– Medical Insurance<br />
– Medical Certificate / Doctor’s report (A referral letter from current doctor or detailed appointment letter from doctor in RSA).<br />
– Police Clearance certificate (criminal background record) in respect all applicants 18 years of age or older, in respect of all previous countries of residence for period exceeding one year.<br />
– Deposit of USD 450 or return ticket<br />
– And other supporting documents<br />
<span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Important Notice</strong></span><br />
– Incomplete applications are not accepted.<br />
– Application forms must be appropriately signed by the applicant and the signature must match the signature in the passport. (You do not have to submit your application for a visa in person.)<br />
– In the event of multiple applications, supporting documents must be copied on all submitted applications.<br />
– Copies of ID and letters of permission may be requested if applications are questionable.<br />
– Please consult with the South African embassy or relevant embassy or your travel agency for information ahead of you travel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tips To Help You Save Time And Money In Zimbabwe; Open Source Travel Guide To Zimbabwe, Featuring Up-To-Date Information On Weather, Zimbabwe Public Holidays; Currency Matters; Free And Reliable Advice on Zimbabwe Travel<br />
Zimbabwe is a landlocked country located in the southern part of the African continent, between the Zambezi River and Limpopo River. It is bordered by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the southwest, Zambia and a tip of Namibia to the northwest and Mozambique to the east.<br />
There is much for you to discover in Zimbabwe. The country offers an amazing range of travel experiences in sights, tastes, and outlook. Zimbabweans are warm and friendly people.<br />
Officially:<br />
The Republic of Zimbabwe<br />
Government:<br />
Parliamentary democracy<br />
Capital:<br />
Harare<br />
Population:<br />
12,521,000<br />
Zimbabwe Money Tip<br />
1 Zimbabwe Dollar = 100 cents. You may take 15000 Zimbabwean dollars out of the country. There are no restrictions on foreign currency brought in. If you don&#8217;t declare the foreign money you bring in, you&#8217;ll only be able to take out 500 US dollars. You may be asked to account for foreign currency exchanged/spent in country. Hotel bills must be paid for with credit cards or in foreign hard currencies e.g. US dollar. Avoid dealing with street money changers who promise &#8220;no commission, best rates&#8221;, for currency exchange.<br />
Weather in Zimbabwe &amp; When to go:<br />
Zimbabwe features a tropical inland climate evenly punctuated by wet and dry seasons. The best time to travel to Zimbabwe is the drier and less humid winter months between May, June, July, August, September and October. During these months temperatures float agreeably between 13º and 20 ºC, although they can drop to below-freezing levels during night time.<br />
Health:<br />
Yellow fever immunisation is essential if you arrive from an infected country or area. Visitors are also advised to take pre-arrival precautions against hepatitis A, polio, typhoid and malaria. Other health concerns include bilharzias, sunburn, limited medical facilities and supplies outside of towns, AIDS and influenza.<br />
Language:<br />
Zimbabwe has three official languages: English, Ndebele and Shona.<br />
Public Holidays in Zimbabwe:<br />
1st January &#8211; New Year&#8217;s Day (International)<br />
18th April &#8211; Independence Day (National)<br />
1st May &#8211; Workers&#8217; Day (International)<br />
25th May &#8211; Africa Day (National)<br />
11th August &#8211; Heroes&#8217; Day (National)<br />
12th August &#8211; Defence Forces Day (National)<br />
22nd December &#8211; Unity Day (National)<br />
25th December – Christmas Day (International)<br />
26th December &#8211; Boxing Day (International)<br />
Where to Go Shopping:<br />
Shopping<br />
When shopping and dining out make sure you know what taxes will be imposed. While you are shopping it is important to note that there is a thirteen percent sales tax on purchases, and this can be calculated into the price you pay or added to this amount. Before deciding whether to buy, determine whether the sales tax is included, and do not be afraid to negotiate. In restaurants and bars there is an added ten percent tax on top of your total price. Tipping is optional but appreciated. Shona soft-stone carvings; woodcarvings; T-shirts; safari clothing; pottery; leather goods; basket ware; sculptures; textiles.<br />
Personal Safety<br />
One Zimbabwe travel tip is to watch out for teamwork among thieves. One common technique is for one person to bump into you while another is stealing your money and valuables. If you get a flat tire do not leave your vehicle unmonitored while you change the tire. Another common tactic is for one person to distract you and help with the tire change, while an accomplice is emptying your vehicle of everything that has any value at all.<br />
What to Packing<br />
Make sure that you pack properly for Zimbabwe holidays. Light clothing and natural fabrics are a must, but you will also need a light jacket or sweater for when it is rainy or when the nights turn cool. If you will be exploring the forested areas then boots, jeans, and a long- sleeved shirt should be included in your packing list.<br />
Other Useful Zimbabwe Travel Tips<br />
1. Zimbabwe travel can be exciting, but it is important to stay safe and protect your belongings while you are abroad. Instead of carrying a purse or wallet you should use a fanny pack or money belt which fits securely around the waist. This will prevent any pickpockets from taking your money and important documents. You should also leave any valuable or precious jewellery at home, or at least locked in the hotel safe if you must bring these items with you. Never leave money or valuables in your room while you are gone.<br />
2. Use common safety precautions. While Zimbabwe does not have a lot of violent crime this activity can occur anywhere and in any country. Only use well-lit parking lots and ATM machines, and do not exchange currency out on the street where anyone can see you do so. Never carry more currency than you will need for the day. When driving, it is plausible that your car doors are locked and windows rolled up, and never roll down your window while stopped at a traffic light even if someone is trying to get your attention or talk to you.<br />
3. Instead of carrying around your original passport and other important documents take a copy of them, and leave the originals locked in the safe at your hotel. This tip while planning Zimbabwe vacations can help you prevent a nightmare of delays and bureaucracy if you do have your wallet or luggage grabbed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Zimbabwe weather guide, An Overview to the Weather and Climate Information for Zimbabwe; Best Times To Visit, Weather, Travel Tips, Required Clothing For Travelling To Zimbabwe.</strong></span><br />
<strong>Zimbabwe</strong> features a tropical inland climate evenly punctuated by wet and dry seasons. The reason for this is the fact that most of the country is a fairly high plateau with an average altitude of about 1479 m.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Rainy Season in Zimbabwe</strong></span><br />
In Zimbabwe, the rains come principally in December, January, February and March; the further north you are, the earlier the precipitation arrives and the later it leaves. Zimbabwe&#8217;s higher eastern areas usually receive more rainfall than the lower-lying western ones. The rainy season lasts from November to March with some thunderstorms occurring especially in the late afternoons. January is the wettest month in Zimbabwe (213 mm). By May most of the rain is gone, leaving a luxuriant site. Night-time temperatures begin to drop particularly in the southerly and higher regions. Common rainy season problems in Zimbabwe include Temporary interruption in flights, outdoor activities are limited, Local transportation is less comfortable because most roads become impassable.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Dry Season in Zimbabwe</strong></span><br />
The dry season in Zimbabwe stretches from May to early October. The month with the driest weather is July. This period is extremely hot and dry with temperatures averaging between 30-40°C during the day. It can get extremely hot, with no relief of rain. However, it offers the most perfect time of game viewing in the country as well as fishing in <strong>Lake Kariba</strong> and in <strong>the Zambezi River</strong> valley. Game viewing becomes more spectacular towards August when the grass and bush is nearly exhausted.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Temperature in Zimbabwe</strong></span><br />
The average temperature in Zimbabwe is 18.6 °C (66 °F) while the monthly average temperature is 8 °C. Maximum temperature may rise up to 29 °C (84 °F) in October; whereas it can fall to as low as 7 °C (45 °F) in June and July.<br />
The summer temperatures (September to October) on the plateau hover around the mid-twenties (centigrade) and rarely go above 30 ºC in <strong>the Zambezi Valley</strong>. Night temperatures in the winter can fall below freezing point. During this time, you&#8217;ll see some fantastic game, as the <strong>Zimbabwe&#8217;s wildlife</strong> congregates around waterholes and make easy viewing.<br />
November is unpredictable; it can be hot and dry, it can also see the season&#8217;s first rainfalls – and in this respect it&#8217;s a very interesting month, as on successive days, you can see both weather patterns.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The Best Times to Travel in Zimbabwe</strong></span><br />
The best time to travel is the drier and less humid winter months between May, June, July, August, September and October. During these months temperatures float agreeably between 13º and 20 ºC, although they can drop to below-freezing levels during night time.<br />
In Zimbabwe, the months of June, July and August have extremely cold nights, so don&#8217;t forget to bring some warmer clothes, if you are to spend a night outside or camping. During the day, the sky is clear and it is warm.<br />
Important to note for travelers on <strong>vacation in Zimbabwe</strong> is the weather patterns are today more unpredictable, possibly due to global warming; unexpected weather conditions are no longer a rarity.</p>

<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Balikuddembe Market</strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #008000;"><strong>TIPS ON PAYMENT</strong></span><br />
Large shops accept credit cards, especially in the touristy part of the town, big supermarkets and safari lodges. In small shops and markets you have to pay in cash, ensure you have the local currency in smaller denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10, 000 for quicker and safer transactions.<br />
<span style="color: #008000;"><strong>TIPS FOR SHOPPING IN UGANDA</strong></span><br />
<strong>Shopping in Uganda is generally easy, fun and exceptionally rewarding, but the following tips are useful especially when you are a first time traveler to the East African country.</strong><br />
1. Fixed prices are the norm in most Super markets, department stores and a number of shops in Kampala, but at most other places bargaining is acceptable and expected.<br />
2. Shop around to compare prices &#8211; this is especially important with durables such as Electronic Appliances.<br />
3. Obtain a receipt for goods bought and check if it is correct and the amount matches what you have paid leaving the shop.<br />
4. Do not let a stranger or an unfamiliar person to you to take you shopping.<br />
5. Bear in mind that the price difference especially reflects on the quality of the product. It is paramount that you consider the more priced which is most times value-worth.<br />
6. It is also important to take note that shops in hotel arcades pay high rents and accordingly prices tend to be higher than at street shops. So expect higher prices here.<br />
Inclusion, Uganda has a number of other places to shop. Most shopping centres are second to none, and whether its clothes, computers, gems or mobile phones that you are looking for, visitors marvel at the range and quality of what’s on offer. If shopping is your thing, a visit to Uganda will very likely satisfy your passion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary Full and Half day Tours with <a href="http://www.ugandasafariholiday.com">Expert-Guided Adventures</a>; Ngamba Island Activities, Bio-diversity, Ngamba Island Safaris, Where to Stay – Ngamba Island Tented Camp</strong></span><br />
<strong>Ngamba Island</strong> is a chimpanzee sanctuary that was established and officially opened to visitors in October 1998. Its establishment was to take care for the 19 orphaned chimpanzees that had been rescued from poachers by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).<br />
It is nestled approximately 23km from <strong>Entebbe Town</strong>, in close proximity to the equator Central Uganda. Ngamba Island stretched over 40 hectares of rainforest which makes it a perfect habitat for even other wildlife species.<br />
The island forms part of the <strong>Kome Archipelago</strong>, a group of over 12 islands and islets separated from the northern shore of Lake Victoria by the 10km the open flowing Damba channel. <strong>Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary</strong> currently shelters close to 50 orphaned chimpanzees; and it’s managed by <strong>Uganda Wildlife <img class="alignright" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/ngamba2.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="162" />Education Centre Trust</strong> (UWECT); <strong>International Fund for Animal Welfare</strong> (US); <strong>Born Free Foundation</strong> (Britain); <strong>the Jane Goodall Institute</strong> (Germany); and the <strong>Zoological Board of New South Wales </strong>(Australia)<strong>.</strong><br />
<strong> Bio-diversity</strong><br />
This fragile forested island on <strong>Lake Victoria</strong> supports a rich diversity of natural foods and wildlife. The sanctuary in principle was set up to provide the best facilities and care to the captive chimpanzees. Several of these primates come from unfamiliar situations often rescued from poachers <img class="alignright" title="ngamba-chimp" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/ngamba-chimp.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="140" />who have killed the parents for &#8220;bush meat&#8221; and taken the infant chimps to sell in the illegal exotic pet trade. Young chimps are introduced to the sanctuary in cages and slowly introduced to surrogate mothers.<br />
The Island is also an ideal natural habitat for several other species including Otters, Fruit Bats, Hippos, Crocodiles and Monitor Lizards. Over 154 rare species of birds have been recorded at the sanctuary such as the Orange Weaver Bird, Pied Crow, Great Egret, etc. With more than 50 plant species, Ngamba Island provides a variety of natural foods for the chimpanzees.<br />
<strong><img class="alignright" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/ngamba3.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="158" />Getting There</strong><br />
The most popular and cheap way to get to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is either by a speedboat which takes about 45 minutes ride (23km offshore from Entebbe). A traditional canoe can also be used although make the journey longer and exhaustive.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Best Month to Visit Ngamba Island</strong></span><br />
February is the best month to tour Ngamba Island because it is generally cool and dry and it is also the best times to see the migration in neighboring Tanzania.<br />
<strong>Where to Stay on Ngamba Island</strong><br />

<img class="alignright" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/ngamba1.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="140" />Ngamba Island Tented Camp offers the unique opportunity to spend a night on the Island, with the option to enjoy the very special privilege of joining a group of infant chimps on their early morning walk through the forest. After spending a day with the chimpanzees, it is a great place to relax and enjoy the sunset over the lake. The four tents are managed by Wild Frontiers.<br />
Guests at Ngamba Island Tented Camp stay in comfortable, twin-bedded tents at the water&#8217;s edge, each with en-suite bathroom facilities and their own verandas. All meals are prepared and served by their friendly camp staff in one of two dining areas &#8211; either in the A-frame or the platform beside the lake.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Kinshasa</strong> is the capital and largest city of the <strong>Democratic Republic of Congo</strong>. The city is located on the <strong>Congo River</strong>. With a population of 10,076,099 million residents, Kinshasa is Africa’s third largest (after <strong>Lagos</strong> and <strong>Cairo</strong>). A significant part of the city&#8217;s land is undeveloped, and the urban area only occupies a small section in the far western end of the province.<br />
French-speaking Kinshasa city is both a city and a province in status and is divided into four districts which are further divided into 24 municipalities. It is still a major cultural and intellectual centre for the country, with a flourishing community of musicians and artists. It is also the country&#8217;s major industrial centre, processing many of the natural products brought from the interior.<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><br />
Climate</strong></span><br />
Kinshasa features a warm and tropical climate. There is a lengthy rainy season which spans from October through late May. During the rainy season there is also the possibility of sudden and sometimes violent thunderstorms. The dry season runs from June through September and is slightly cooler than the wet season, though temperatures remain relatively constant throughout the year. The best time to take <strong>Kinshasa</strong><strong> flights</strong> is between June and September.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Accommodation</span></strong><br />
Accommodation in Kinshasa is relatively expensive. However, the city has a wide range of major hotel chains and independent hotels. Each has its own charm and visitors can find accommodation in accordance with his/her specifications as they range from 2 star- 5 star hotels. The guests can ensure warm hospitality where as in the elite class hotels tourists get high class service and facility with warmth hospitality. Top <strong>Kinshasa</strong><strong> hotels</strong> include <a href="http://www.hotelvenus.cd">Hotel Venus de Kinshasa</a>, Hotel Estoril, Hotel de la Gombe, <a href="http://www.flathoteldaito.com">Hotel Daito</a>, <a href="http://www.memling.net">Hotel Memling</a>, Hotel Ixoras, Grand Hotel Kinshasa and Flats Hotel Luntu.<strong></strong> Hotels<strong> Memling </strong>and the <strong>Grand </strong>practically have the monopoly and their rates can be in excess of $300 @ night plus breakfast.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Shopping</span></strong><br />
Kinshasa is the perfect place to shop for some of the brilliant art works of Congo. Those taking cheap flights to Kinshasa find here many places where they can go for buying at reasonable rates. Shopping in Kinshasa will be an altogether different experience. The trend of hand painting has survived flights to Kinshasa through these centuries as the local people have relentlessly protected their indigenous culture since last many centuries. <strong>Shopping in Kinshasa</strong> will be incomplete without a visit to the shops of the copper artists. There are many government shops and small boutiques that are famous for copper.<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
Getting Around</span></strong><br />
Driving in Kinshasa is one of the most challenging experiences. The roads are full of deep potholes and not well maintained. Officially there is a city bus and it has been bolstered recently by some older buses from Belgium being gifted to Kinshasa to improve the routes. There are taxis that ply set routes between embarkation stations. The cost between these various points is usually around 350 Francs. If one&#8217;s destination is through multiple points, different taxis will need to be boarded. For foreigners, it is ideal to have a local guide to move around the city.<br />
Alternatively, at much higher rates, you can hire cars from transport operators such as Ave Batetela, Avis and Gombé. They are available for single runs or can be hired by the day. Rates for these taxis vary widely and if one does not appear to be of African descent, there will also be an automatic premium added.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Getting There &amp; Away</span></strong><br />
There are connecting flights to Kinshasa direct from Paris, France and a huge array of <strong>African cities</strong>, with several international couriers including Kenyan Airways, South African Airways and Ethiopian airlines and Royal air Maroc (each have a number of flights per week from their hubs in Johannesburg, Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Casablanca). Flights to Europe are with Air France (Paris) and Brussels Airlines (Brussels). Travelers can also ferry between Kinshasa and <strong>Brazzaville-Congo</strong> across the <strong>Congo River</strong>. Travelling overland, particularly from <strong>Uganda</strong> or <strong>Rwanda</strong>, is volatile. We recommend liaising with your embassy while preparing for your <strong>Kinshasa</strong><strong> travel</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dolphins in Zanzibar Archipelago, Menai Bay Conservation Area, Kizimkazi Fishing Village; Best Period for Dolphin Safaris</strong><br />
For most visitors to <strong>Zanzibar Archipelago</strong>, it is about the sea, the corals, and the <strong>dolphins</strong>. Zanzibar is not really about the island itself. Although the Island has a lot to offer with the spice trade, a long rich history and natural forests with unique flora and fauna, it is much popular for water activities.<br />
Dolphins on the <strong>Zanzibar</strong><strong> Island</strong> have become an important source of local and foreign revenue for the local population on the Archipelago.<strong><br />
Dolphin safaris</strong> make a big part of Zanzibar&#8217;s tourist activity and had put this East African <strong>Indian Ocean</strong> archipelago among competitive destination for beach and marine tourism. Over 115,000 tourists visit the archipelago each year with a purpose of visiting its rich marine resources and enjoying the warm, soft sand tropical beaches.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS IN ZANZIBAR</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Menai</span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Bay</span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Conservation Area</span></strong></span><br />
Officially established as a conservation area in August 1997, Menai Bay Conservation Area (MBCA) is an archipelago of islands and sandbanks situated on Menai Bay, Zanzibar. At 470 sq km, it is the archipelago’s largest marine protected area. The conservation area which also doubles as a tropical paradise dream honeymoon boasts several beautiful beaches and unspoiled reefs with a palm fringed coastline that looks out over the warm turquoise waters of the <strong>Indian Ocean</strong>. Menai Bay Conservation Area hosts two species of dolphins namely the bottlenose dolphins (most common), and the Indo-Pacific humpback species. Swimming with the dolphins is the most popular holiday activity here. To be able to swim with the dolphins we recommend early mornings. In the morning, you will have a good chance to swim with the dolphins.<br />
<img class="alignnone" title="Zanzibar dolphins" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/dolphins2.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="288" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kizimkazi</span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Fishing Village</span></strong></span><br />
Situated on the far Southern tip of Unguja Island of Zanzibar is <strong>Kizimkazi fishing village</strong>, a popular spot for viewing and swimming with dolphins. It is home to several schools of bottle-nosed dolphins and Humpback dolphins, which makes it another popular place to &#8216;swim with dolphins&#8217;. For maximum swimming enjoyment, travellers are urged to reach here early in the morning at 6am. After that, the area gets crowded and you will see many boats and numerous swimmers struggling to come close to these amazing creatures. Swimming with dolphins is incredibly exciting.</p>
<p>There are available accommodation options at the site including <strong>Kizimkazi Coral Reef Village Hotel, Dolphin Beach Resort Hotel</strong>, and <strong>Swahili Beach Resort Hotel</strong>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>Island</strong><strong> of Zanzibar</strong> features ideal holiday weather for most part of the year. Just south of the equator, Zanzibar&#8217;s weather pattern is relatively similar to that of <strong>Tanzania</strong>– although always tends to be a little more humid with occasional rains in the dry season.<strong><br />
Rain / Wet Season</strong><br />
Short rains can occur in November but are characterized by short showers which do not last long.  The long rains also referred to as the <em>&#8216;Green Season&#8217;</em> normally occur in early April to mid May.<br />
April and May are the monsoon months and the wettest, with up to 15 inches of rain per month, and many hotels close until mid-June. Afternoon tropical downpours are the norm – which can be heavy on any of the islands. November to late December is another season short rains on the Islands. Much as these is much lighter than the main rains and less reliable.<strong><br />
<img class="alignnone" title="Nungwi Beach Zanzibar" src="http://www.guideforafrica.com/images/africa/zanzibar-beach1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /><br />
</strong><span style="color: #008000;">Nungwi Beach, Zanzibar</span><strong><br />
Dry Season</strong><br />
Zanzibar’s long dry periods from mid-June to October, when rainfall has relatively subsided. The Island is blessed with an average of 7-8 hours of sunshine daily.<strong><br />
Humidity</strong><br />
Humidity in Zanzibar is relatively low between mid-December and February punctuated with some refreshing breezes. It is highest from March to May Zanzibar is hot.<br />
<strong>Monsoon Season</strong><br />
<strong></strong><strong></strong>April to June is monsoon season in Zanzibar and up and down the coast is battered with pelting rain. Same as July to October the rain doesn&#8217;t last all day and there is still a lot of time in the day where the sun shines. Quite a number of <a href="http://www.guideforafrica.com/zanzibar/zanzibar-resort.html"><strong>Zanzibar Vacation Resorts</strong></a> and <strong>Beach Hotels</strong> close. The ones that do stay open offer amazingly discounted rates.<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
When To Go</span></strong><br />
November to March are peak travel months in Zanzibar as the weather is hot and very humid and there is very little rain. Temperatures moderately vary with altitude and location, the sun is bearable and for the most of the day, the sky is clear. However all in all, Zanzibar being an island, its weather can be unpredictable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">People of Lesotho have various traditions and culture. Information on People of Lesotho, languages, values, lifestyle, social society, craft and culture of Lesotho</span><br />
Lesotho</strong> has one of the most unique blends of traditional norms in <strong>Southern Africa</strong>. Its strength lies in its &#8216;unity in diversity&#8217;, and what makes Lesotho most appealing is the fact that its old rich cultural diversity is still not lost on the people. The <strong>people of Lesotho</strong> have developed many unique cultural adaptations to their conditions. Basotho people are predominately rural, and getting around mountainous areas has always been difficult. However, the <strong>Basotho pony</strong> is ideal for local transportation and so breeding and riding these surefooted ponies is very important.<strong><br />

Most Basotho still lead rural lifestyle with scattered picturesque villages and clusters of huts located high in lying areas and on the mid-levels well away from the deep river valleys and potential flood zones. Villages are very structured. They are made up of a number of kraals, i.e. a collection of buildings belonging to one family. Some are for sleeping, some for storage and one for cooking. Each kraal will also have an enclosure for livestock. Each village has a chief, or headman, who will fall under the chief for the area.<br />
Basotho culture is centred on village life, and most traditions and festivals relate to local village life and the seasons of the year. The family is still the dominant unit, and respect for the elder generation is important.<strong><br />

<span style="color: #ff0000;">People &amp; Culture</span></strong><br />
Based on the last population census (April 2006) by the Lesotho Bureau of Statistics, preliminary results put the country’s total population at 1872 721, with some 23.74 % of Lesotho inhabitants now living in the urban areas. Lesotho is also a land of cultural festivals which have helped in preserving Basotho traditions in their originality. For instance the Matebela, still attach great significance to their <strong>Ndlamo traditional dance</strong> where no traditional wedding is sanctioned without this colourful dance.<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Languages</span></strong><br />
Most of the inhabitants of Lesotho are Basotho and speak the national language Sesotho, although nearly all speak excellent English as the second language also used in government and commerce as well as in learning institutions. Other dialects used are <strong>Zulu</strong> common in Botha-Bothe and Caledonspoort, <strong>Phuthi</strong> and <strong>Xhosa</strong>.      <strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Arts and Crafts of the Basotho</span></strong><br />
The Basotho’s skill of craftsmanship in culture and tradition evidently reflects in various forms of<strong> </strong>Arts and Crafts products. Local products have a reputation for quality, individuality and variety. They have a universal appeal, and have helped to give Lesotho a strong identity. They all make wonderful souvenirs the country visitors. Lesotho has a justifiable reputation for its fine wool and mohair weaving. Tapestries, which are completely hand-woven, are works of art that display their own unique character, and are noted for their beauty, softness and strength. The artistic talent of many Basotho women also finds expression in the fine knitwear including pullovers, scarves and other personal items. The herds of sheep and goats that roam the hillsides provide the skins and hides for an abundant supply of sheepskin products. These include warm and comfortable slippers and jackets, whole skins and much more. In addition, the ready supply of hides provides leather for excellent leather goods such as bags, belts and small gift items. Wooven reeds and grasses are also important. The traditional Basotho Hat called <em>mokorotlo</em> is the best known of a fine range of grass-works made in Lesotho. Its conical shape inspired by the profile of Mount Qiloane is seen everywhere in the kingdom, and is the recognised symbol of the country. Other fine souvenirs include locally made gold and silver jewellery and local pottery. <strong>Leribe </strong>and <strong>Teya-Teyaneng</strong> are some of the best handicraft centres in the capital, <strong>Maseru</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How would do you prepare for your <strong>Lesotho</strong><strong> holiday</strong>? There are some basics you will definitely want in your suitcase as you make the final touches, if not before boarding your <strong>flight to Lesotho</strong> then at least before you set off. Whether or not you need them all depends on why you are travelling and the weather conditions in Lesotho at the time, but for the most part they are necessary for travel. The following are essentials if you are to enjoy your <strong>Lesotho</strong><strong> trip</strong>.<strong><br />
Mosquito Repellent</strong><br />
This is absolutely a must! More so if you are travelling during Lesotho&#8217;s summer season, and also one of the many, many reasons that should dissuade you from choosing bottom-of-the-barrel accommodation: no air-conditioning means you will be opening the window just to breathe and then it&#8217;s open blood-sucking season. Mosquito repellents in forms of lotions are good, but you could consider insect-repellent bands as well, worn either on the ankle or wrist: creams and lotions are liable to be diluted by sweat. And in the tropics, you are going to be sweating a lot. There is minimal access to medical care, so bring a First Aid kit and basic medicines.<strong><br />
Clothes</strong><br />
Are you a seasoned adventurer and planning to have a next adventure tour to Lesotho or an inspiring adventure fan,  you will want the lightest wear you have got. Short jeans, sleeveless tops, and similar should be the order of the day.<strong><br />
Umbrellas</strong><br />
Not so much for the rain as for the sun. Alternatively, wide-brimmed hats and caps will do just as well to keep your brain from boiling over and streaming out your ears. Just kidding: it&#8217;s not that hot, but it&#8217;s warm enough that having something over your head is going to be something you will quickly learn to appreciate.<strong><br />
Footwear</strong><br />
Like the clothes you should pack, this ought to be light as well. Heavy formal shoes and stiletto heels are going to kill your feet in no time and the footpath isn&#8217;t exactly baby-skin smooth. Light sneakers, sans socks, and slippers are good. Buying disposable flip-flops once you&#8217;ve arrived at your destination is sensible too.<strong><br />
Warm Clothes</strong><br />
An extra bag or two for all those Basotho blankets you will buy. Traipsing through Africa, I wanted to wear as little clothes as possible, despite the malaria and sun warnings because it was so damn hot. You likely will feel the same. That is until you reach Lesotho. Beginning in the fall, it can get very cold at night, snow can happen, and generally you could be caught off-guard and lose a toe or two if you are not prepared. Sturdy hiking shoes are needed for hiking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Africa Birding Tour Operators Offers &#8211; Africa Bird Watching Tour, Africa Birding Tours, Bird Paradise Tours Africa, African Birding Destination Tours, Birding Holidays In Africa</strong></span><strong><br />
Africa</strong> is<strong> </strong>world-famous for one of the largest concentrations of rarest species of birds. The continent is packaged with a multitude of rare varieties of birds that you will find anywhere else. Being in the natural habitat, these birds represent different bird families and notions. That is why ornithologists around the world give Africa as a priority destination to increase knowledge on birds world over. If you take interest in bird examination, you should consider taking a trip to this country and enjoying the difference.<br />
Excursions to locations rich of bird species are rare. In Africa, you can find many locations wherein you can find birds that you will hardly see anywhere else. By watching such beautiful species, you can get to know so many new things about their behaviour and origin. You can also find a similarity between different species in order to improve your overall understanding on the matter. Sometimes, on such trips, you can reach in day one whereas sometimes, you have to travel miles just to witness you birds of choice.<br />
From the clouds of pink created by flamingos rising from the water, their wings vivid in the early morning light, to the bizarre bobbing of the secretary bird, and the ominous presence of the circling vulture, there is a continually varying vista of bird life that will delight even the most enthusiastic bird watcher and photographer.<br />
Take along your apparatus and equipment to watch your favourite from close. You can clearly observe them and write your own thesis. If you do not want to witness them from an expert point of view, you can just watch them like an amateur who praise the beauty of the Mother Nature in its raw form. Take pictures and make a whole collection of pictures with birds.</p>

The variety of wildlife in <strong>Democratic Republic of Congo</strong> is incredibly diverse and being able to view these animals and birds in their natural habitat is an experience of a lifetime. Several adventure travellers travel to DR Congo wanting to see the endangered mountain gorillas in <strong>Virunga</strong><strong> National Park</strong>. The chance of spotting a tiger greatly depends on the size of the national park and the rare mountain gorillas, and is higher at some parks than others.<br />
The following are the major protected areas where wildlife safaris can be taken from the Democratic Republic of Congo;</p>
