How should I spend three weeks in Europe?
A few operators have full -equipped rental that sets up with a four -wheel drive vehicle, all camping equipment, long -range tanks, recovery equipment and a GPS device with the necessary software. Some offer a satellite phone for emergency situations and this is worth the cost. Camp safari require a diligent planning, including the pre -separation of camp points for travels in dry season (July -October).
The main parks and reserves are Chobe National Park, famous for their elephants; The Receresi Game Reserve in the incredibly Okavango Delta; Central kalahari game reserve and makgadikgadi pans. Botsvana Footprints And BOTSVANA SIR They are local operators who can set you with everything you need. If you prefer reservation, driving, setting up tents and cooking, several operators offer guided camping safari. Wild African safari.
At the end of a tour of the coastal express on the shores of Norway, I spent five nights in my husband, 85 -year -old mother -in -law and Kirkenes to explore. We have a rental car and I would like to explore some Finnish and Sweden, but it’s overwhelmed for the election. Do you have any suggestions for a route?

Norwegian cruise with Hurdiguten.
Using Kirkenes as your base, exploring your first day in the northern port of the European motherland, and perhaps enjoy the dinner of King Crab, Fish Soup or other local seafood specialties.
Depending on the weather, it is famous for its Steilneset monument, which understands the coastal strip along the southern edge of the Varanger National Park in the following days, to Vardo, the most eastern town in Norway, understood those executed during the 17th century. A short driving in the east of Kirkenes during the E105 takes you to the Russian border, but it is very important that you do not deviate from Norway. The region, known for the king crab fishing and contains a freshly prepared crab feast with a half -day fishing trip. In the south of Kirkenes, the Norwegian region narrows into a finger separating Finland from Russia.
In the depths of this pocket, Pasvik National Park is a mosaic of pine forests, lakes and swamp areas and hosts Norway’s only Taiga forest as well as brown bears. The roads are marked, but it is easy to be careful, it is easy to lose your bearing and there are no ground signs to guide you.
You can easily go to Finland, but Sweden is far from a day trip. You are driving in a remote area, so fill it as much as possible and pay attention to road hazards that contain deer and reindeer, especially if you driving in early or twilight.
After a holiday in South Africa in July, my family flys from Cape Town to Johannesburg, at 11 o’clock, then comes to Sydney at 18.40. I feel that there is a good opportunity to explore the city until 16:00 in the afternoon, provided that we are on time. Do you have any suggestions?

You can squeeze on a half -day Soweto tour. Among the prominent features are Mandela House and Vilakazi Street, one of the most important historical streets of South Africa, and perhaps the winner of the two Nobel Peace Prize winners in the world (Mandela and Archbishop Desmond). In addition, the nearby Hector Pieterson Monument, who commemorated the 1976 student uprising against the use of Africa in schools, is a very important moment in the anti-Apartheid struggle.
