Voodoo Villages based on our Cradle of Voodoo tour but shorter! Togo and Benin in West Africa for just under a week.

Tatras and Slovak Paradise - winter short break but the price is fantastic – wish I could go on this one this winter.

We’ve also launched a holiday promotion for Families new to Explore with 5% off 5 tours (you can see more here) – By the way, existing family customers already get 5% off any tour.

And there are also some more exciting developments coming soon, and I’m not talking about Explore Blogs Twitter account.

Always worth a read but particularly interesting series of posts on Uganda and Rwanda at the moment – I particularly liked this posting on Mburo as it shows Ankole cattle (one of my favourite aniumals – don’t know why!) and a shot of Boda – Bodas:

A “boda-boda” is either a motorcycle or bicycle used to carry passengers…similar to taxis and also used to haul goods on the back of them.

Sheila has suggested that this was one of her most inspiring trips and I can certainly see the attraction of Uganda from a wildlife and cultural perspective. Maybe next year…
