It could be those beautiful beaches on the Indian Ocean, a Safari in the enormous Kruger National Park, a visit to beautiful Cape Town in the shadow of Table Mountain, and to rugged Cape Point where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans merge.

It could be a journey on the famous Blue Train, or a drive along the lovely Garden Route. It could even be a flutter at the Tables of Sun City, South Africa’s answer to Las Vegas. Most likely, though, it will be a combination of such fabulous attractions that will entice you to this, the most diverse, richest and most beautiful of all African countries.

Victoria Falls & Zambia The Victoria Falls moved David Livingstone, renowned explorer and the first white man to see this natural wonder of the world, to say: “a scene so beautiful it must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”. Known as “Mosi o a Thunya” (the smoke that thunders), the Falls are one and a half times as wide and twice as high as Niagra Falls, and are a truly awesome sight.The Zambian side of The Victoria Falls provides an entirely separate experience to its better-known Zimbabwean counterpart. Situated in the 46-hectare Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Wildlife Park, the views are spectacular, you can sidle right up to the falling water by walking down a track to the base of the falls following walkways perched over the abyss.The other highlight of this region is the Zambezi River whose beauty and splendour lured early adventurers and explorers. Still even today many modern day travellers are unable to resist the River’s magnetism as it provides countless opportunities for adrenalin-packed water sports or incredible game and bird viewing.

Cuba Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean and is situated 90 miles south of Florida. It is a fascinating island that is rapidly growing in popularity due to its great mix of cultural heritage as well as some of the finest beaches with miles of soft white sand and clear warm waters. Add to this the warm and friendly multiracial people, the Cuban passion for music and dance, famous rum cocktails and balmy tropical nights and you have all the ingredients for a wonderful holiday.

In the 2010 Condé Nast Readers Travel Awards Cuba was voted in the top 10 favourite island destinations worldwide.

Cuba is a unique and very special destination, however the island’s continued economic development is not at the same level as we have in Europe and some aspects of life in Cuba are very different from what we experience here in Ireland.
