Looking Into Bulletin

Along the southern cape coast of South Africa there is an exceptional scenic route known as the Garden Route. From cosmopolitan Cape Town at the western end all the way to Port Elizabeth in the east this is a voyage of discovery dotted with small towns, scenic views, wildlife nature reserves and welcoming boutique hotels and guest houses.

For travellers who enjoy a more exclusive and remote safari experience in a true wilderness setting the Selous and Ruaha National Parks of southern Tanzania will not disappoint.

Safari holidays in Africa can take many guises. A luxury safari might see you off on a Botswana safari to a high class Okavango safari camp, a walking safari might take you to Zambia to a rustic yet very comfortable camp in the South Luangwa, or for a more traditional style luxury safari holiday you might choose Kenya perhaps similar to the outline below.

Damaraland camp is a perfect selection for part of your safari in Namibia. Damaraland camp is a luxury safari camp that lies on the north face of the Haub River valley 90 kilometres from Torra Bay, the camp is situated in the mountainous region of north-west Namibia.

So what is the Safari experience that so many rave about? Why is it so great to stay in a tent in the middle of nowhere? Isn't that roughing it? Is it like the typical camping holiday where your clothes remain damp for a week, food isn't that spectacular and you long for your own bed by day two.

With the World Cup now come and gone, I think few people - South Africans included - understood the full implications of what an event of this size meant to the country - and the brand "South Africa". In the months preceding the World Cup, South Africa was largely a building site, and any reference to the event was to do with high pricing and logistical complications.

Currently, luxury safari travellers have never had so much choice when booking safari holidays to Africa - both in what is on offer and most definitely in method of making the arrangements. Once upon a time the high street travel agency/tour operator was the only option but now any travel plans can be instigated on the internet from the comfort of your own home.

The Kafue National Park is similar in size to Wales, and is the largest park in Zambia.

Namibia is a unique safari destination. The country straddles two great deserts, the Namib with its sea of red sand along the Atlantic coastline and the Kalahari.
