by ·Comments Off on Frequently Asked Safari Questions

Planning safari holidays can be a big task and if you’ve never been on one before it’s likely you’ll have lots of questions and queries about preparing for your upcoming holiday. Below are the answers to just of the few of the frequently asked questions that you might be wondering about.

Can I take my children on safari?

Definitely! Africa is an excellent choice of destination for a family holiday. There are many camps and lodges specifically aimed at families with special accommodation, extra activities, children’s menus and specially trained staff. The best way to find accommodation well suited to your family’s requirements is to speak to a safari expert.

What kind of food can I expect?

You’d be surprised what the teams of chefs at safari camps can create in such remote locations! Careful planning and organisation behind the scenes mean that food on safari is of excellent quality. Camps are able to cater for any dietary requirements or likes and dislikes if they’ve been told in advance.  You will have access to bottled water during your safari.

How will I do my laundry?

Most camps offer a laundry service and will launder any items bar underwear which isn’t included due to local customs.

Will my camp have electricity?

Camps and lodges in remote areas generally rely on generators and/or solar power for their electricity. You’ll have enough power to charge batteries but in most remote areas you won’t be able to use hairdryers or electric shavers.

Can I use my mobile phone?

In the remote areas of Africa, mobile phone coverage can’t be guaranteed. If you do have coverage and want to use your phone, it must be kept turned off or on silent mode during activities so as not to disturb animals or other guests.

Jamaica is known for its hot weather, friendly people and delicious foods, and it’s certainly a place we feel every individual should visit at least once in their life. It’s an extremely large Caribbean Island and there are certain aspects that you’re bound to see on your holiday in Jamaica, including: tropical settings, mountains, waterfalls, soft sandy beaches and eye-gazing sunsets.

There’s plenty to see and do on a holiday in Jamaica, and many know it as a country for its reggae and vibrant colours, and this is especially true. You won’t have to stroll far in an evening to find reggae music artists around the stretches of clubs and bars.

Lastly you have to consider the people, they’re warm, friendly and they want you to come and enjoy your stay, and each of these aspects adds up together to create one of the best holidays an individual can go on.

by ·Comments Off on January – An Ideal time for a Short Break?

Today people can head off on breaks, holidays and tours as when they feel like it, but is January an ideal time to go away if you haven’t spent the bulk of your savings at Christmas?

The answer is simple yes it is an ideal time, if you chose the right location. Marking the turn of a year with a trip is common, and you don’t have to feel guilty; having a holiday right after a Christmas break.

January can quite often be noted as a ‘dull’ month, but it doesn’t have to be and a city break can certainly get you year off to the best possible start, so we say never to rule out a short break in January, plus the prices are extremely well priced due to being outside of the peak season for many locations.

by ·Comments Off on Checklist for Skiing Holiday

Skiing holidays are becoming rather popular, and packages have actually come down in cost. If you’re debating going on a skiing holiday in the near future or perhaps very soon, then make sure you know exactly what you need to take.

You will require your normal clothes and your general holiday luggage, including sun cream, because while it’s snowy out there is plenty of sun, and snow reflects the sun so sunburn is actually quite prominent.

  • But along with your normal clothes and going out clothes, it’s also important to have the following:
  • A warm hat/beanie
  • Sunglasses or tinted Goggles
  • Waterproof jacket and trousers
  • Thermal bottoms
  • Thick ski socks
  • Waterproof boots and skiing boats (if not renting)
  • Thermal tops

These are all important aspects that can help you deal with the weather better, and help you enjoy your skiing holiday without letting the cold get to you.
