Tripoli

As you know, Libya is a country almost entirely desert that is located in northern Africa. Towards the north we find the Mediterranean coast, if we go to find the eastern border with Egypt and Tunisia in the west. In case you do not know, Libya is also a neighbor of Algeria, Chad, Nigeria and Sudan.

In Libya, Arabic is the main language, however, the people also speak some local languages such as Berber and Touareg, which are used in many urban areas, but do not worry, English is also spoken in many parts of country, especially in larger cities, so you can connect! Also if you speak Italian you have a great news … The Italian colonial past Libya (until 1980), granted access to Italian television, which makes it relatively understood Italian. We bet you did not know that fact!

If we dirigirmos to the capital Tripoli, we will realize that it is very difficult to find a traditional Lebanese restaurant. Most serve western style food, with some Moroccan restaurants. This is unfortunate because there are so exquisite libianeses dishes should be prepared in all parts of the country and elsewhere in the world.

Tunisia Travel Guide

Tunisia is located north of the North African coastline, being the smallest country located near the Atlas mountain range.

40% of this nation is composed of the Sahara desert, while the rest is fertile soil perfect for agriculture, also has 1,300 km of coastline.

An hour south of Tunis, extend over the bay of Hammamet resorts Nabeul, Hammamet and Port El Kantaoui.

The first two account for most of the tourists, their white sand beaches lapped by the green Mediterranean waters invite you to stay submerged most of the day to avoid the sweltering summer heat. Windsurfing, jet-skiing, parasailing … lovers of water sports congratulations.

At dusk, take the traditional mint tea in one of the outside bars on the promenade, while enjoying the sunset and the show that presents a tourist trying to ride a camel on the beach. Those who like the nightlife will not be disappointed, there are pubs and “disks” everywhere, to take account of Playboy in Hammamet.

South Africa Rainbow

Sure everyone is thinking it has to do with the Rainbow South Africa but in fact takes its name from the different types of people we can find the streets, dark brown, blond, with indigenous features, etc.

Everything we can find, at any moment can go from being in the middle of the metropolis to be in the middle of the jungle with a tribe or even in the desert.

All the thinking in South Africa immediately think of poverty but we can also find quite interesting cities with designs such as the “Cape Town”this city has a very European design.

So they can be no doubt that South Africa is a good destination when traveling.

Vumba Mountains Zimbabwe

The Vumba is most famous for its variety of hotels and hospitality establishments. These range form the Leopard Rock Resort Hotel, featuring what is reputed to be Tiger Woods’ favorite golf course, and this is easy to understand considering the ever-changing vistas of mountains, plains and valleys, to the deeply traditional White Horse Inn offering haute cuisine and a sense of old world colonial charm.

The Vumba Botanical Gardens is a showcase of Zimbabwean garden horticulture, and is definitely a highlight of any trip to the Vumba.

Potential activities beyond the obligatory scenic drives through arguably one of the loveliest landscapes in the world, include horse-riding, fly-fishing, golf, hiking, birdwatching and relaxation when possible
