Tanzania welcomes you with open arms, or adorable

Tanzania welcomes you with open arms, or adorable little hands, as we see in this photo. Photographer, Tom McCarthy spent the Summer weeks of 2016 documenting moments from various student travel programs in Tanzania. An inspiring moment of a little boy showing a recently-constructed classroom with a new friend is seen here.
.
Tanzania is home to over 56 million people and is often known for its expansive protected wilderness areas such as the Ngorongoro Crater and the plains of Serengeti National Park. It is home to Africa’s highest mountain, the famed Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the beautiful islands of Zanzibar.

If you have some spare time in July or September,

If you have some spare time in July or September, you might want to consider flying to Alaska as this is the prime time to spot brown bears fishing at Brook Falls in Katmai National Park. The river will be teaming with salmon and this is an open invitation for the bears to join the “all you can eat” buffet.

Holding a mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons

Holding a mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons and more, the construction of the Karnak Temple complex began during the reign of Senusret I and continued into the Ptolemaic period. Karnak temple was considered the main place of worship of the 18th Dynasty with the God Amun as its head.
.
Karnak Temple also happened to be a treasury, administrative center and palace for the New Kingdom pharaohs. With different purposes than the Luxor temple, they were both primary cult temples. Many of the Pharaohs contributed significant additions to the temple, such as Hatshepsut, Tuthmose III and Ramesses II. The complex is divided into 3 compounds, but while the precinct of Amun is the largest, it is most of the time considered enough for visitors as it’s quite a complicated layout.

Mid Wales is a place to visit to escape the hustle

Mid Wales is a place to visit to escape the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. But it has so much more to offer, especially when the sun goes down. Dominated by the Cambrian Mountains, including the Green Desert of Wales, the region is thinly populated. It’s an area with an economy dependent on farming and small businesses but recently, a new type of tourism has emerged that is perfectly suited to Mid Wales’ topography. Star tourism is free, and areas with little light pollution – such as Mid Wales – have become a huge draw for people who are looking to get a better glimpse of the universe and the cosmos. In our latest blog post, @qualitycottages share the best spots in Mid Wales to do a bit of stargazing.
