There’s More to Egypt Than The Pyramids

Egypt’s colourful history and beautifully warm climate make it an extremely popular holiday destination for Europeans, with millions of international tourists visiting the country every year. The majority of these holidaymakers tend to flock to popular tourist hot spots such as Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada.

The popularity of these regions is partly due to their close proximity to some of Egypt’s most prominent tourist attractions, including; the Pyramids of Giza, the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, the Karnak Temple Complex and the Red Sea. There is also an abundance of extremely reasonable holiday deals and tours available in these areas, which makes it exceptionally easy for holidaymakers, who are looking to take the whole family to Egypt.

Adventurous travellers who like to go off the beaten track will find that there is much more to Egypt than just these well-known tourist meccas, although it can be a challenge to stay near all the city attractions whilst avoiding common tourist traps. Travellers, who keep their wits about them and do a little research before leaving home, will always find the lesser known attractions to be well worth the extra travel time.

Luxury Camping Safaris in Africa (Part 4)

This is the final in our African series, visiting some of our lodges across the country. We work with more than 100 lodges in Africa, ensuring your safari meets your requirements. Luxury camping is a traditional part of a safari and here in Zimbabwe, the views will be breath-taking.

The Hide, Zimbabwe

The Hide offers a luxury safari camping experience with an emphasis on tremendous wildlife and Zimbabwean hospitality. Located within the Hwange National Park in an area once used as a hunting ground by Ndebele kings, the camp is situated alongside a waterhole where animals congregate to drink. In fact, if you don’t wish to venture far, you can relax at the camp and wait for the animals to come to you – wild dogs have even occasionally made their kill in full view of the camp! Alternatively you can sit quietly in the hide from which the camp takes its name and watch as the animals go
about their daily business.

Here’s how to ditch the twitch and enjoy the vacation.
