Friday, January 29th, 2010 / tambo

Study by African safaris and Adventures travel consultants confirmed that Kenya has all it takes to bring tourists and vacation holiday makers than any other country in Africa. The equator cuts Kenya in two almost equal half’s, so whoever or whatever determined this, gave the Kenya an imaginable lead as this only translates to very good tropical weather thought the year.

Visualize sunshine through out the year, real un poit ’sand’ beaches ‘not pebble’ – a couple of heavenly palm fridged islands, natural upcountry scenes and landscapes similar to none, mixed welcoming cultures, snow capped Mount Kenya and ‘real’ wildlife. All compressed in a square radius the size on Spain.

Nairobi is the capital and the entry point to Kenya and the city transformed into a Cosmo city with five star world class luxury hotels, casinos, night life is growing, and further south is Mombassa second largest city or is its island, Equally influenced and growing. So feel free to bring along Visa and MasterCard’s, all shops and restaurants accept that too. Vehicles branded ‘Tourist police’ are seen moving meaning security is well taken care of.

Kenya’s location is favorable and excellent as it’s halfway down the continent that’s why the United Nations set up its Africa hub in Nairobi due to the security and convenience. Kenya is well serviced by all major international airlines i.e. British airways lands twice daily, KLM, Swiss air, Emirates, and Virgin.

What Can Women Do To Avoid Sexual Harassment When They Travel On Vacation?
Thursday, January 28th, 2010 / tambo

The women of today are venturing out and traveling more globally then at any time in history. Female travelers, whether traveling alone, with a companion, or as a group, are encountering different cultures, religions, and societies. With this freedom comes some significant risks that men may never encounter. It is therefore prudent for women who plan to travel to learn how to handle themselves when on holiday, studying abroad, or traveling on business.

What are some things you can do that may help you have a safer and more enjoyable travel experience?

If you are traveling, or on vacation, your best protection is to understand the local culture and customs of the country you are visiting. What you observe when you watch how the local women behave and dress will give you valuable clues on how to avoid sexual harassment.

If the local women cover their hair and their arms and legs then you should do that also. Do not wear bikinis, swimsuits, or short shorts in towns where local women are all covered up. Dress conservatively.

Avoid direct eye contact with men as they might construe this as flirtatious. Do not talk, smile, or wave to strange men who smile or say hello to you. If a man follows you, cross the street. If this doesn’t work, find a policeman, or enter a store and ask for help.

If you need to ask for directions, always ask a woman. And, if you are traveling by bus or train, always sit with other women.  Read more...

How Can Vacationers Avoid Street Scams, Cons, And Thefts When They Travel On Their Holidays?
Sunday, December 06th, 2009 / tambo

Airports, train and bus stations, and any other place where travelers congregate in close quarters are where pickpockets love to operate. There are many dos and don’ts to avoid becoming a victim when you travel on vacation, most of which are common sense. Here are some of them.

Do not wear expensive jewelry, even expensive looking costume jewelry or an expensive looking watch as that is just an invitation to be robbed.

Wear a money belt under you shirt or blouse to help foil pickpockets or muggers. It is a good idea to put your things in a Ziploc bag and then put the bag in your money belt. The reason for this is that the money belt and the items in it will get soaked from your perspiration, especially in hot climates, and this will keep them dry. Do not open up your money belt in public to take out cash, travelers checks, or credit cards.

Before you leave on vacation, it might be worth it to sew a few pockets on the inside of your slacks, skirts, or underclothing where you can carry some spare cash when you are out and about for the day. If you are carrying cash, travelers checks, or credit cards on your person, you should divide them up and put them in different pockets. That way if a pickpocket is successful, he or she won’t get everything. It also makes sense to use a safety pin to make each pocket opening smaller so that a pickpocket will have difficulty pulling anything out of your pockets without you being aware of it.  Read more...
