One type of holiday that you have probably to consider is an African Safari because if you craft carefully your plan, you will end up with an exciting trip. Go Gorilla trekking and take your family with kids for primate-watch such as the Golden Monkeys. These are safaris you can have in Rwanda and Uganda. Now, the word “Africa” may conjure up mostly naked people or brutal regimes. But in fact, Africa is a massive continent with many perfectly safe areas. Bringing your kids to an African Safari will not only allow them to see animals in their native habitat, but it will also help educate them about a part of the world that they, just like you, probably have massive misconceptions about. It can be a fun learning experience, and how often do those two things go together? A combination of this part of East Africa will give you a highlight of what Africa has to offer you for a holiday.

Tips for self-drive road trips

Avoid overspending on highways as the traffic is high sometimes. Always budget your time driving and do not over-depend on the GPS, it may not be very accurate. Respect trading centres by going 40 to 50 km per hour. When you access the National parks, the roads here are very bad. Avoid hitting small rocks on the road and go slow. This will reduce the risk of breakdown, which may result in loss of time. When you are staying in national parks for more than a day, remember to have enough gas (especially petrol) where in some parts it’s not available for refilling. Take extra gas and avoid burning near the car.
