"> "Stop! Look - fresh pugmarks." Karin our naturalist stopped the vehicle and jumped to the ground. Using a twig to outline the pug mark, he announced it was a male tiger cub. He went on to explain that if the pugmark is square in shape this indicates a male, and had it been more rectangular in size, a female. This first lesson of tracking was eagerly received by Karin's attentive class in the back of the jeep. This was the very beginning of our morning game drive with Karen, an expert naturalist with Taj Safaris, at Mahua Kothi Camp at Bandhavgarh National Park. The air was crisp and fresh on this early winter morning, but also now charged with an incredible buzz and anticipation. My heart was...

"> I have recently returned from eighteen days in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands and I am still stunned at what an incredible place it is. I loved everything about Ecuador: the food is excellent -(even if a little too much at times), the scenery is varied and stunning, the people are so friendly, and the accommodation unique. There is so much to say about this great country but in the interests of time here are a few of the highlights. The Amazon jungle lives up to its reputation as an amazing place and the journey there was an experience in its own right. A thirty minute flight from Quito took me to a small town called Coca, where I travelled by motor canoe for two hours along the Napo River...

"> I am not usually a patron of small African curio shops but I have to say that the coffee shop/curio bookstore in the internal terminal of Dar es Salaam airport serves some of the best coffee and sells a grand selection of books that you just wouldn't find in your local Waterstone's. It could have also just been the fact that it was Africa and the coffee always tastes better in Africa, the fish is fresher, the grass is greener and the sea is definitely bluer off the coast of Northern Mozambique. And not to mention the sand, white as chalk, hot underfoot and clean. The Casuarinas conduct a symphony in the bright sunshine and the waves lap gently in rhythm. If that is what you are looking for on...

However, there are many types of UK property mortgages, and it is important that you get the one most suitable for you.

The travel industry in the United Kingdom has been bracing itself for awful summer sales figures for traditionally popular holidays in Majorca and other areas of Spain, but an awful summer for the weather in the UK has led to a pick up in holiday bookings, rescuing what could have been the worst year for a long time for overseas travel. The wash-out in Britain has been so sustained that those tourists who hadn't booked by the time the summer holidays arrived often changed their original plans for a UK holiday to one abroad - and Majorca has benefitted from a late surge in holiday bookings from British families anxious to get some sun before facing the winter back home. Compounding the dilemma many...

However, you should consider a number of other options, especially if you are traveling with your family. On a recent trip, I visited...

Are you planning an African safari or a holiday in France? With holidays around the corner, it is very important to plan for them. But are you going for a packaged tour?

In such cases, self-drive holidays are the best choice as they provide flexibility, are low in costs and allow more time for sight-seeing. But you need to plan well and if there is no planning, your vacation will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Follow these tips for a well...

This law is the Ley de Costas, or Coastal Law. Initially introduced...
