Safaris are meant to be full of blissful moments of serenity. Listening to the various calls of lapwings and rollers on the open plains, smelling the fresh water of the cascading rivers that meander through the landscape and the feeling of being at one with nature is the reason people travel half-way across the world to explore the vast wildernesses of Africa. The problem however, is that if you don’t know what camp to go to or what park to visit, you can become bogged down by busy sightings, long queues and noise pollution that doesn’t allow you to experience nature in all its serenity. Marc Harris from @ odyssey_travels gives us an insight into the best ways to avoid the crowds whilst you’re visiting Tanzania.

Sri Lanka is bursting with centuries of tradition, a rich culture and some incredible sights. The teardrop shaped island has a lot to be discovered and in recent years has shot to the top of the list of many travellers dream destinations. It’s perfect for those who want a beach holiday, paired with some beautiful national parks and interesting cultural sites. Sri Lankan tourism was flourishing until April, when the country had a string of bombings that saw tourism drop significantly. Four months on, Sri Lanka is rebuilding and it’s now more important than ever to support local communities and those working in the tourism sector to help restore this wonderful country. Matt Gannan from @tucantravel has compiled this great list of the top five experiences every traveller should have in Sri Lanka.

Exploring ice caves in an Icelandic winter. Stepping foot into your first crystal clear blue ice cave is a memory that will last a life time. If you haven’t explored an ice cave in an Icelandic winter for yourself it’s hard to describe the feeling. Standing inside this magnificent flowing structure of ice and looking up at the curved blue roof above can be hypnotic. Ryan Connolly from @hiddeniceland has taken hundreds of customers into dozens of different ice caves across Iceland but one thing is always the same. The reaction.
