Through the ages, one of the enduring delights of travel has always been the chance of discovering new dishes and flavours, and a Kilimanjaro trekking trip is the perfect opportunity to explore the tastes of Tanzania. A vibrant, varied cuisine, with a strong Indian influence transformed by African ingredients, there is certainly plenty to discover here. Read on for an idea of what you can expect, and what to look out for!

What To Eat On Trek

Nutrition is of vital importance when facing the challenges of Kilimanjaro trekking, as it provides your source of energy while tackling the terrain and altitude. You’ll need plenty of carbohydrates and sugars – and the food available on the mountain is generally prepared with that in mind. A hearty breakfast is the best way of starting a day’s trek, and these are provided in abundance – expect porridge, eggs, roti bread, fruit, bread and jam, and a very welcome cup of tea or coffee. Dinner will often start with soup, then a main course that tastes all the more delicious and nourishing for being heavy in protein and carbs. High-energy snacks are usually served at the end of a trek – be sure to try the salted popcorn – and it is a good idea to pack some snacks of your own to take along, such as cereal bars or dried fruit.

A Traditional Tanzanian Meal

One of the great joys of a Kilimanjaro trekking trip is the opportunity to spend some time either before or after your trek exploring the different facets of Tanzanian culture. If you have the chance to try a Tanzanian meal served in the traditional way, you’ll be treated to a new cultural as well as a culinary experience – starting with the dining etiquette. It is customary to sit on mats on the floor, and to eat using the fingers of the right hand; hands should be cleaned with a towel that is passed around. The spread will usually include a combination of dishes, including a staple such as rice or ugali (made from maize flour), braised vegetable or meat dishes in coconut milk – a particular specialty is duckling – plantain and meat stew, and chapati.

Tanzanian Fruits

Whether you are exploring a city street market, or sitting on a mountainside during your Kilimanjaro trekking adventure, one kind of food that is ubiquitously available throughout the country is the delicious variety of Tanzanian fruits. These are often a component of cooked dishes, such as the bananas and plantains used in stews and curries, as well as being a joy to eat fresh. Pineapples, oranges, strawberries and more provide a refreshing snack or dessert for any meal, and are popularly accompanied by coconut and honey. One fruit to make a point of trying is the jackfruit, a spiky green fruit that can be split open to reveal sweet yellow flesh, and seeds that can be roasted like chestnuts – look out for it!

The Anguilla Island resort is located at the East Caribbean section, the northern most island of the Leeward island chain, which is 10 miles north of St. Martin and approximately 200 miles east of Puerto Rico, the two major gateways to the island. The island has a sub-tropical climate where breeze of trade winds blew all day maintaining heat and humidity at very comfortable levels. The climate being friendly is a perfect getaway from the cold weather conditions in the northern hemisphere.

The island is a British Overseas Territory, and the language spoken is English. This 35 square mile island is 16 miles long and 3 miles wide, flat, low-lying and comprised of coral and limestone, covered mostly with rock, sparse scrub oak, few trees and some salt ponds. A single main road runs through the center of the island, making Anguilla easy to traverse by car in just half an hour. It is home to 15,000 friendly people.

This captivating island offers 33 beaches to relax unwind, and enjoy with, where its features are distinctively Caribbean, but at the same time authentically Anguillan. This island is home to pure, pristine, white sands and wrapped in brilliant azure, crystalline waters, where one can dine at its mouth watering cuisine with the warmth and friendliness of its people. Anguilla Beach access is public and the beaches are uncrowded.

Anguilla beaches enjoy warm and sunny days and star filled nights with an average temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit while gentle trade winds breeze all year round. Rains typically fall in September and October, but not all day, and February through March is its dry season. Water temperatures range between 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, perfect for swimming. Most beaches are serene and calm with gentle shoals, but occasionally, the Atlantic side of the island can produce some surf waves. Surfers can’t be guaranteed waves, but wind and kite surfers find Anguilla to be heaven.

The people of Anguilla are the greatest part of what really makes the island such a wonderful place. Gentle and friendly, they take pride in their home and pleasure by sharing it with visitors from around the world. Visitors and Anguillians exchange friendly “hellos” to each other across the island, and friendly faces become familiar not long enough to know each other’s name.

The Anguillia Beach Island’s rich history and personality is embodied in its culture and heritage. From the ancient Amerindian settlements, through the European colonization, to the 1967 revolution, these and other events are clearly manifested into the tapestry of Anguillian life today.

Activities in the island could start at The Old Valley, where one will find architectural examples like Ebenezer’s Methodist Church, Miss Marjorie’s House, The Warden’s Place, Rose Cottage, and other graceful buildings, a reminder of Anguilla’s beautiful past. Crocus Hill is the highest point on Anguilla at 213 feet above sea level. It offers spectacular sunset views as well as a bit of history. Six or seven hundred French soldiers landed on the beach and were fought off by the English settlers in less than fifteen minutes, first of three invasions that all ended in the invader’s defeat.

Shoal Bay is home to Anguillia Beach bars, blinding sand and brilliant seas, snorkeling at the coral reef, scuba diving and glass bottom boat tours. Island harbor is the island fishing center. The heritage Museum and the Island Ceremonial site are historical parts of the island worth the tour.

Visiting the Anguillian Island will be like experiencing heaven in your lifetime.

The Baths of Virgin Gorda have instilled awe in visitors for hundreds of years. Massive granite boulders are jumbled together to form primordial, cathedral-like structures surrounded by turquoise, azure and electric blue Caribbean water. Several cool, inviting, shaded grottos caressed by the tide and sea foam dot the area. A marked trail winds through this natural wonder leading guests on a self-guided tour over rock and sand. Most people enjoy the sights barefoot usually because they snorkeled ashore from tour boats, yachts or six-pack rentals. Water shoes or sandals may be more comfortable but require more planning to carry if the visitor is wearing snorkel gear.

Moorings and anchoring are possible around the Island and the nearby Virgin Gorda yacht harbor may have slips available.

St. John, in the U.S. Virgin Islands is an ideal base for your island hopping adventures. It’s easy to pick up an trip with a tour operator or charter a six-pack boat or yacht. Organized tours often offer more amenities like free snorkel gear, fresh water showers, wet bar and bathrooms. Often it’s rewarding to meet fellow travelers on organized excursions and sharing the vacation experience.

Boat rentals and charters allow more autonomy and flexibility but the cost may be steeper. Most boat rentals in the Virgin Islands are designed for 6 passengers. You’ll be hiring the entire boat so if there are only 2 passengers, your cost will be divided by 2 instead of 6. Be sure to ask for a quote that includes fuel estimates and tip for the crew.

During peak season, large Caribbean cruise ships lead tours to the Baths and may result larger groups on Virgin Gorda but don’t let that dissuade you from visiting. Crowds are not uncommon for areas of spectacular beauty and the Baths aren’t any different. Most of the time, crowds are small and they will not have a negative impact on your experience. If you are on a privately rented or chartered boat, it’s worth checking out nearby Fallen Jerusalem Island. Mammoth boulders give the appearance of a destroyed ancient city give this British Virgin Island its name. Fallen Jerusalem is more secluded than Virgin Gorda and offers some excellent snorkeling.

Whether you choose to charter a private boat or join a group trip, you’ll be very happy with your decision to visit the Baths at Virgin Gorda. The massive boulders and assure grottoes will stay with you for a lifetime.

Advantage 1 – Protection

The fact is, caravans, motorhomes and RVs are expensive vehicles. You saved hard to buy them, you love using them so you should protect your investment. Of course, some might claim caravans are designed for the outdoors and so they can ‘protect’ themselves. And yes, this is partly true, but it is also a fact that they can be protected better. In a perfect world, you will have space for your caravan to remain in a garage when it is not in use. However, often, we do not have such a luxury. So, to protect from rain, UV damage, sap from trees as well as bird poop, a covering your caravan is a great idea.

Advantage 2 – Less Cleaning

If you use a cover for your caravan when it is not in use, you will find that you do not have to clean your caravan as often or as vigorously as if you didn’t use a cover. This can be a fairly big advantage depending on where you store your caravan. For example, if it is kept anywhere where leaves or bird droppings can fall on its roof, a caravan cover should save lots of time.

Advantage 3 – Peace of Mind

Don’t entirely discount this advantage. I rest easy in the knowledge that my caravan is protected over the course of winter. Not only is it protected from natural events as above but it is given some protection from vandals as well.

Disadvantage 1 – Expense

Caravan covers are themselves, expensive items. Especially given they just seem to be a bit of old material, their price can act as a real turn-off to purchase. At the same time, relative to caravans, they are not so expensive. That said, if you can’t afford a decent caravan cover, it may not be worth buying the very cheapest either. This is because the cheapest caravan covers can actually cause damage through their ill-fit and shoddy material.

Disadvantage 2 – Difficulty of Putting Cover On

Furthermore, putting caravan covers on and off is not exactly a delightful chore. If you are inclined to short trips and then storing your caravan away, this could equate to several hours of placing and removing your cover every season. The annoyance cannot be understated. However, a caravan cover will also undercut the amount of cleaning you have to do. So, it’s really ‘choose your poison’ here. A caravan cover means more time wasted putting it on and off but less time wasted washing your caravan regularly.

If you consider yourself a true Harry Potter fan and are headed to Orlando for a family holiday there is no doubt that you will want to visit the Harry Potter theme park. Those of you about to embark on your first visit to the attraction capital of the world might have some confusion about the whereabouts of the park and how exactly you might gain entrance to the park. If you have already started to research how to get park tickets you will have noticed that such tickets do not exist and this is because the Harry Potter theme park is actually part of Universal Orlando Resort’s Universal Islands of Adventure.

In fact, although the attraction has acquired this alias and does very much appear to be a theme park in its own right, it isn’t actually a self contained unit at all. The park essentially makes up one of the seven islands of Universal’s Islands of Adventure, The Islands of Adventure being one of the two parks that make Universal Orlando Resort. To gain access to Universal’s Islands of Adventure you require Universal tickets, which will not only grant you access to the Harry Potter attraction, officially known as Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but to the remaining islands Port of Entry, Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent and Seuss Landing.

Of course it is likely that you will want to visit many of the other great theme parks this destination has to offer, if you’re an animal lover you’ll want to head to SeaWorld, roller coaster junkies will want to head to Busch Gardens and if you’re travelling in summer you will definitely want to experience at least on water park, be it Universal’s water park Wet n Wild or SeaWorld’s Aquatica. However, instead of buying tickets for each of these parks in addition to your Universal tickets, it is most cost efficient to purchase tickets that will grant you access to your desired combination of theme parks over the duration of your holiday.

Combo tickets, or multi park tickets combine a selection of theme park tickets for one price, as opposed to purchasing each ticket separately – which always works out far more expensive. With any good ticket broker you’ll be able to choose from an array of multi park tickets that will grant you access to your desired theme parks over the duration of your holiday. But remember, if you want to head to the Harry Potter theme park, Universal tickets must be included in your combo ticket.
