  First fly-camping in Zambia’s Emerald Season, from £2,775 pp with Expert Africa

  January 31, 2012 for Expert Africa

  If you’ve only experienced Africa when all is dry, you’ll be amazed by Zambia’s Emerald Season. A hugely underrated time to travel, not only is it the most spectacular period (the bush is lush and the air is crystal-clear), but also the best value. The legendary Robin Pope is offering a first this year: throughout April only, you can fly-camp in the Luangwa Valley, exploring by boat and reaching areas inaccessible to most as roads are often un-passable with the high waters. A seven-night trip is from £2,775 pp (minimum two sharing, maximum four) including flights from Heathrow to Lusaka, accommodation in very stylish camps, all meals (except overnight in Lusaka which is B&B), most drinks, safari activities, laundry and internal transfers.

  Thought the UK auroras were good? Take a look at what’s on offer in Finnish Lapland

  January 25, 2012 for The Aurora Zone

  The weekend of 21-22 January 2012 saw an extraordinary level of geophysical activity in the Earth’s atmosphere, with the Aurora Borealis glimpsed as far south as the UK and Ireland – but can the British Isles ever really compete with the light shows in Finnish Lapland?

  Says Alistair McLean, MD of specialist Northern Lights company The Aurora Zone – a veteran Northern Lights hunter who’s currently in Muonio: “Last night I saw one of the best auroras in living memory and we haven’t even reached the Solar Maximum, which happens next winter.”

  Expert Africa releases 2012-13 brochure

  January 24, 2012 for Expert Africa

  Safari specialist’s 2011-12 brochure includes emerging areas in Mozambique

  Another impressive tome of knowledge, Expert Africa’s new 2012-13 brochure reinforces the company’s position as the Southern Africa specialist.  New options are present across the brochure, but below are some of the most newsworthy additions, including Mozambique’s fast-emerging mainland and new options on Lake Malawi and in the Serengeti.

  +Emerging: mainland Mozambique

  2011 was the year that Mozambique’s mainland caught up with its islands.  Gorongosa National Park was once one of Africa’s finest national parks. However, the civil war which raged through the 1980s and early ‘90s shattered its game populations. It’s been slowly recovering since, and now game densities are good and getting better.  Elephant, crocodile and lion are increasingly encountered; it’s now an excellent safari destination for 2012.  

  New internal flights make reaching it much easier and from 2012, Expert Africa is offering walking safaris there via local camp Explore Gorongosa, whose safari tents have been greatly upgraded for 2012.

  It’s official – going on holiday means you live longer

  January 9, 2012 for Holidaysplease

  Research from luxury online agency Holidaysplease.co.uk has revealed a startling fact: those who fly more live longer…

  (… admittedly, only by, on average, a sixth-millionth-of-a-second.  But they all count, right?)

  Here’s the science, as provided by Holidaysplease.co.uk’s in-house science professor*.  According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, the faster you travel, the less time you experience – and thus, technically, the longer you live. For example, consider twins who are somehow both destined to die on their shared 70^th birthday.  If one of them travels around consistently and extremely quickly all their life, then after 70 years they could end up having experienced 69 years and 364 days of time compared to their twin’s exactly 70 years, and thus would be due an extra day.  They would die a day later than their twin purely by virtue that they travelled around a lot more quickly.

  New European walks for 2012 from On Foot Holidays

  January 3, 2012 for On Foot Holidays

  Walking-holiday specialist On Foot Holidays has introduced two innovative new trips for 2012.  A Côtes du Rhône  trip introduces a different corner of Provence, while a Rhine Gorge tour provides an expert – and largely crowd-free – way to tackle the famous German waterway. 

  NEW: Côtes du Rhône, France

  Forget the crowd-infested Luberon – explore a more varied and interesting corner of Provence

  Ignoring the busy Luberon area, the little-visited Provençal region around Gigondas is the focus of On Foot Holidays’ newest walking trip.  This seven-night, self-guided route circles around Mont Ventoux (the windy mountain), promising clifftop villages, strange conical hills, tiny Le Barroux’s impressive castle and gorgeous Roman bridges.  You can even stay in the former home of the Marquis de Sade en route.  And don’t worry: this being the Côtes du Rhône, food and wine are of primary importance to the walk .  Each hotel boasts a good kitchen, though nothing tops a five-course gourmet experience in Gigondas itself :  you can taste your way through tarte aux tomates, tiny quail, elaborate sorbets and a whole dairy’s worth of cheeses.

  For many, Lapland’s idyllic landscapes will provide a welcome relief to the Christmas frenzy. All Santa-seeking families will be gone for another year, leaving behind a Lapland free from the crowds.  Team up with a handful of huskies on a dog-sledding adventure, and you’ll find yourself getting fit and seeing Lapland at its very best – empty and enticing – as the days get longer and temperatures increase.
