Has There Ever Been a Better Time to Visit Zimbabwe? Has there ever been a better time to visit Zimbabwe? I doubt it, not if the reports we are getting from our partners in Zimbabwe are anything to go by. So why are things looking positive again for the country that went from being the bread basket of Africa to the basket case of Africa? Most importantly, the economy has been dollarised which means the ‘fifty... (posted by Kieran 332 days 3 hours ago.)

Beauty & the Beast - Jane Goodall and the wild chimpanzees I watched a fascinating programme on BBC Four last night featuring the background behind one of the most important discoveries in primate behavioural study. This documentary covered the 50 year career of Jane Goodall, primatologist and conservationist. She followed a childhood ambition to work with animals in Africa when Dr Leakey sent her out to Tanzania in... (posted by Kieran 332 days 5 hours ago.)

English Werewolf in Sweden
When I told my friends I was visiting Sweden, I lost count of the number of times I heard mangled impressions of the Muppet’s Swedish chef or a tragic rendition of Abba’s Waterloo.

Nightwalk in the forests of Central Belize
As we headed up the mountain the jungle flora slowly gave way to pine trees and the air, thankfully, cooled down. We were entering the Mountain Pine Ridge area in the Cayo District of Central Belize, a vast area where jaguars roam, raptors soar and Mayan ruins stand, defying time. Upon arriving at Blancaneaux Lodge I was welcomed with a refreshing drink and my guide, Roni, discussed the programme for my... (posted by Kieran 332 days 21 hours ago.)

Responsible Tourism helps Gorilla population
A recent mountain gorilla census in Rwanda has revealed that the population of endangered mountain gorillas has increased significantly in the last 30 years, say researchers. The census carried out in the Virunga Massif (which comprises of 3 national parks - Parc National de Virunga in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda) has...
