Safari Tanzania on Lake Natron, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan along the Silk Road, the little-known northern valleys of Albania or the ethnic minorities in northern Vietnam, are some of the best options for travel in September.
It's not just where we're going, but what we're going to do when we get to our destination.
Created by National Geographic, along with Dereck and Beverly Joubert, World Lion Day aims to raise awareness in the Western world of the dire situation facing African lions.
The World Lion Day is an international campaign that aims to highlight the importance of the lion as a symbol of Africa’s big cats.
The campaign began following the brutal killing of Cecil the lion in the park Hwange National Park in Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe. Cecil was a major attraction and was being studied and tracked by Oxford University as part of a research project when was shot dead by an American dentist.
In a remote corner north of Tanzania rises an amazing mountain called Ol Doinyo Lengai, where the lava fountains harden in the air and then fragment like glass.
In the language Maasai means Mountain of God and is close to the Lake Natron and is part of the volcanic system of Great Rift Valley. The volcano lies in a section of the fault zone known as Sikes Grid. It is one of the most unusual volcanoes, being the only one to erupt natrocarbonatite lava. Unlike other lavas, these are rich in calcium, sodium and carbon dioxide, giving these eruptions some extraordinary properties.
