A national park the size of many countries with an animal population of approximately 300,000, Kruger was an amazing place to visit. Host to more than one million people every year, Kruger was home to 507 bird, 114 reptile, 336 tree, 49 fish, 34 amphibian and 147 mammal species. A new remarkable fence free feature of the park made it ever more open to animal migration from neighboring Mozambique and Zimbabwe . Though no off road viewing was possible, we were able to see many animals from the park’s designated asphalt and dirt roads.

If you do not mind the long trip there, few places compare with the unblemished beauty, above and below the surface, of the Maldives. We found a selection of top properties on beautiful (if small) atolls, with comfortable, even luxurious accommodations, good food and excellent service for a good price. Malé has the distinction of being the only capital in the world which is an entire island.

If you have traveled the globe in search of an unspoiled destination, are indifferent to creature comforts, customer oriented service staff and good food, and have lots of money to burn, the Seychelles may be for you. We were highly disappointed.

We enjoyed our visit to this quiet, sleepy southern Africa country of 11 million souls known for Victoria Falls, copper mining, and unspoiled abundant game viewing in its national park system. Because of limited road systems we used charter planes to get to our remote destinations. We were impressed by the quality of meals especially considering the remoteness of some of the camps we visited. We found our guides and the staff in the lodges we visited to be knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, gracious and very helpful.
