TOP 6 GAME DRIVE DESTINATIONS IN KENYA AND TANZANIA

By

  Kenya 1.    The Maasai Mara The Mara is the pride of Kenya, having been named the best national park in Africa multiple times since 2018. It is over 1500 square kilometers, which is smaller compared to the Serengeti, its Tanzanian neighbor which is over 14,000 square kilometers. You are guaranteed to see lions and cheetah in the Mara because there are so many of them over a small geographical area. Rivalries here are fierce and battles between predators are just as common as death runs between predator and prey. With millions of grazers and predators on this small ground, game is a lot more concentrated in the park which means Game Drives, even short ones are always lively. The park has more than 100 lodges and tented camping grounds where you will stay while enjoying your trip, so you need to check the reviews on each lodge your agency proposes. The best time to visit the Mara is August to November when the Wildebeest migration is happening. The costs tend to spike during this

TOP 10 FINE DETAILS YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN PLANNING A GAME DRIVE IN AFRICA

  Watching animals in their natural habitat with the cool air of the savanna whistling past your ears is a heavenly experience. That is why game drives which started in the 1920s in Africa are still the greatest tourist attraction to the continent. A perfect game drive is only as good as the park you drive through and the agency hosting you though, and that is where the complications come in. Most game drives are all about hours of watching and waiting. You may want to carry your cup of coffee alongside your favorite time-passing drink while on the drive. Most of the animals that are seen in the open are warthog, zebra, buffalo, elephants, ostrich, and giraffe. The grazers will be there eating comfortably for hours and it may be days before you get to see anything worth filming. So, as much as a game drive is an opportunity to have the fun of a lifetime, it is also a real test of your patience, not to mention the depth of your pockets. Most agencies only advertise game drives without g

10 ULTIMATE THINGS TO DO IN THE NORTHWEST ANGLE

By

Angle Inlet or the chimney as some people call it is the Northernmost point of the Continental USA, only reachable from mainland Minnesota by boat or seaplane in the summer. The tiny rectangle actually exists because of a mistake made on the map used to draw the border in 1783. The map used during the signing of the Paris Treaty misstated the source of the Mississippi headwaters by over 100 miles leaving a tiny part of Canada that borders the Lake of the Woods in the US. To get to Angle Inlet by car, you have to drive through Canada and clear customs, then phone US authorities through a Video phone at a spot called Jim’s Corner just outside the town to get clearance back into the US. The hustle is worth it when you finally reach your cabin though if you consider the countless fun things, you can do there. Why Visit the Northwest Angle? As you drive into town, the first impression you get is solitude. There are no cars or pe

Time Traveler's Wife had a good run but HBO has decided that it wasn't worth another season. So, why won't it become Rose Leslie's new Game of Thrones ? The idea of time travel being caused by a gene brought a whole new definition to the concept of time travel. The show humanized the whole affair, trying to make it as relatable as possible but it seems HBO wasn't convinced.  In a statement announcing their reason for the cancellation, HBO said, "it was our privilege to partner with master storytellers Steven Moffat and David Nutter," said an HBO spokesperson. "We are so grateful for their passion, hard work, and care for adapting this beloved book. We also thank Theo [James] and Rose [Leslie], and the rest of our brilliant cast for their heartfelt performances, which completely captivated audiences." What Next For Henry and Clare and Henry? Steven Moffatt , the writer had earlier said he was writing season 2 of the show hoping that the network w
