World's Best Mountains

Introducing: The International Mountain Awards  Things may have gotten a bit complicated again with travel recently, but we’re here to raise you up with the awards you never knew you needed. So, if you’re looking for summit to read this International Mountain Day… (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves)… Look no further. From elusive peaks through to iconic ones just waiting to be explored, our wonderful world is bursting to the brim with ranges.   1. The Award for the most Elusive Mountain goes to… Mount Fuji, Japan If ever a mountain was to be labelled ‘shy’, it’s Japan’s iconic, cone-shaped Mount Fuji. Keep an eye on the weather when planning your visit, but don’t hedge your bets too much. Even on a sunny day, Mount Fuji has been known to sneak behind cloud or the summer haze that rises off the lakes, often leaving visitors wanting more. There are some public webcams available though, so you can check just how elusive the mountain is feeling before making your day trip to catch a glimpse of this iconic Japanese symbol. Try your luck at seeing it for yourself on this Japan getaway that gives you two nights in nearby Hakone   2. The Award for the most Lively Mountain goes to… Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica Although it’s currently snoozing, Arenal volcano is Costa Rica’s most active mountain. Up until 2010 it was erupting daily offering up an impressive show of bright red lava bubbling over the side of its cone-like crater. Despite being dormant though, Arenal is still Costa Rica’s adventure capital, with countless activities, stunning hiking trails and many natural hot springs to rest your weary adventure limbs in (it has its lively resident to thank for that!) Experience Costa Rica’s adventure capital on this Costa Rica family holiday   3. The Award for the Most Remarkable Mountain goes to… The Remarkables, New Zealand Towering over the lakeside city of Queenstown in New Zealand, these remarkable mountains really do live up to their name. Regardless if you venture up them, they will provide a beautiful backdrop to your time in this part of the country. If you do choose to take a closer look, from the south-side of the mountains you’ll be treated to a staggering view of Queenstown. If you’re visiting New Zealand during the winter, and are a fan of the powdery white stuff, this mountain range is one of the best spots for skiing in the region. Take in the beauty of New Zealand’s South Island on this South Island Scenic adventure   4. The Award for the Most Adventurous Mountain goes to… Torres Del Paine – Chile / Argentina – Andes mountain Wrap up warm when you visit Torres Del Paine, that place is Chile… (We’re not even sorry). The three impressive and towering granite peaks of Torres Del Paine alone are worth a visit to Chile’s most famous national park. But, a hike around this stunning display of natural beauty will see you uncovering lakes the colour of spearmint, This Patagonia holiday will see you taking in the very best of Chile and Argentina   5. The Award for the Most Challenging Mountain goes to… Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania If challenging yourself is top of your travel wish list for 2022, climbing to the top of Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro could be the mountain adventure for you. Frequently considered to be one of the greatest outdoor challenges on the planet, conquering Kilimanjaro could be the perfect excursion  if you’re really looking to test yourself (and enjoy the experience of a lifetime of course!) A climb up to the ‘Roof of Africa’ will see you making your way up to 5,895 meters above sea level, take 6 to 8 gruelling days and a fair level of fitness. It’s said that only between 45 and 65% of people who take on the challenge actually make it to the top. But we’re certain that watching the sunrise over the horizon at the summit will be worth every step. Do you fancy your chances? Climb Kilimanjaro on this active Tanzania adventure   6. The Award for the Most Iconic Mountain goes to… El Capitan, Yosemite The iconic, domineering granite wall of El Capitan is without doubt one of Yosemite’s most recognisable landmarks. There’s something truly magical about the light in Yosemite, it wraps around the vertical cliff faces of El Capitan and the Half Dome and is particularly beautiful early in the day when the morning mist gently coats the lush valley in a blue haze. If you really want to explore everything this staggering national park has on offer (including countless imposing mountains, wildflower meadows and plummeting waterfalls), we recommend staying for around three days, there’s just so much to see. Uncover the Yosemite mountains for yourself and so much more on this 13 day National Parks Road Trip itinerary.   7. The Award for the most Bucket-List Ticking Mountain goes to… The Rockies, Canada A visit to the Canadian Rockies will treat you to awe-inspiring mountain valleys, endless icefields, flowing rivers, snow-capped peaks, pristine glaciers and boundless nature. Plus, this mountain range is home to the Rocky Mountaineer, a train ride that makes it on to almost every travel-lovers bucket list as something to experience at least once in a lifetime. Ride the rails of the Rocky Mountaineer   8. The Award for the Most Wonder-Full Mountain goes to… Andes Mountains, Peru – Machu Picchu The lush, forested peaks of the Andes Mountains were hiding a fairly spectacular secret for quite some time. The ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu, now one of the seven wonders of the world (quite rightly), wasn’t rediscovered until 1911. Few mountains are home to an archaeological masterpiece quite like this. You can explore this Andes gem either under the steam of your own two feet, taking on the famous Inca trail, or you can opt for the more relaxed route and take the train up! Either way, this mountain’s secret empire is ready to wow. Trek to Machu Picchu and explore Lima and Cusco on this Peru holiday itinerary   9. The Award for the Best Sandy Mountain goes to… Dune 45, Namibia We’re clutching at straws a little here we realise, but the impressive sand dunes of Namibia’s Namib Desert couldn’t not feature on our best mountainous roundup. The elegant curves, glowing colours and monstrous peaks of what some claim to be the world’s largest sand dunes contrast almost perfectly with the almost other-worldly ‘vleis’ that lurk in their shadows. Get there early to hike up the sandy peak before the crowds arrive. Seeing the sun gradually cast its golden glow over the vast plains of Sossusvlei is an experience not to be missed. Uncover this sandy world for yourself on this Classic Namibia Self Drive holiday

9 October half-term holiday ideas you'll all love

As summer slowly approaches autumn, now’s the perfect time to start planning how to make the most of the rest of the year, soak up some more sunshine, and maybe even fit in a knock-out family holiday to really treat the kids. Is there anything better than making forever memories together as a family? Seeing your kids’ faces as they taste a local delicacy for the first time, watching them run across the warm sand into the turquoise ocean or the wonder in their eyes as they experience their first animal sighting on safari. Travelling and experiencing the world together is the most wonderful gift. Which of these 9 family half-term holiday ideas would be perfect for you?   1. South African Family Adventure This family adventure showcases all the major highlights of South Africa. From the Cape Region and the Winelands , to the Garden Route and a safari experience the whole family will never forget. If you’re travelling with a young family, we’d recommend including a little more time on the Cape Peninsula to enjoy the penguins of Boulders Beach , World of Birds and the glass-bottomed boat at Hout Bay. In the Winelands, Spier is the destination of choice with its bird of prey interaction experience, whilst on the Garden Route, the animal sanctuaries of The Crags are always popular with kids. Finally, you’ll experience one of the ultimate bucket-list holiday moments: a safari together. (What’s more, by going on safari in the Eastern Cape , there is no need to take anti-malarial tablets, a blessing when travelling with little’uns!) View the sample itinerary   2. Oman Family Holiday We think Oman makes a brilliant destination for a family holiday. There’s so much to see and explore in Muscat , with its historic heart, lavish Sultan’s Palace, alluring old souk and dolphin cruises. Plus, there are plenty of stunning hotels with access to beaches and large swimming pools for relaxing, fun-filled days to choose from. That’s why we always suggest starting your adventure in Muscat to explore, and finishing there too for some sun-soaking time at a beach resort. This holiday then takes you into the jagged Hajar Mountains to explore the canyons and abandoned terraced villages. As you adventure together, you’ll feel a million miles from the modern world and will have your breath taken away every time you turn yet another dramatically beautiful corner. Then, a night in the desert is a must for an Oman family adventure. There’s something unmatchable about sitting together under the starry canopy reminiscing about what you’ve seen and done so far. Omanis themselves are also a very friendly, welcoming nation, creating a very accessible place in which to introduce your children to bold and beautiful Middle Eastern culture. Find out more     3. Mauritian Explorer Head to Mauritius to combine blissful beach time with laid-back local exploring this October. With three-stops, you’ll tick off all of the local highlights and have plenty of time to fall in love with the white sand beaches that Mauritius is known for. The island is relatively small, so it is easy to move from place to place, and offers gorgeous beaches, fantastic swimming opportunities for all the family, a delicious food scene and the chance to get off the beaten track in the inland mountainous scenery. Start your trip with four nights on the southwesterly side of the island, sample street food at Port Louis, hike in the Black River Gorge National Park , explore the coastline by boat, or simply relax on the coast. From here, hire a car to head towards the more remote eastern side of the island, perhaps stopping at Chamarel on the way for lunch. On arrival at your next hotel, for those wanting more activity, kite-surfing and mountain biking are on offer, or picnic on the beautiful eastern beaches of Ile aux Cerfs and Ilot Mangenie. Finally head north to the famous Belle Plage region for five nights in your final hotel, chosen to make the most of your remaining time on the beach. Get me on the beach     4. Thailand A family holiday to Thailand is just the perfect introduction to South East Asia. However old your kids are, there’s something for everyone. You can fly through the bustling streets of Bangkok on a tuk-tuk, explore the traditional floating markets , be wowed by elephants in the jungle, hike through wildlife-packed rainforests, play on soft white sand beaches, taste incredible local flavours and uncover so much rich culture. We couldn’t love it more and know you’ll love it, too. Find out more of what awaits   5. Singapore and Borneo Adventure If you’re a nature-loving family, this Singapore & Borneo adventure is for you. No trip here would be complete without a trek to see the majestic orangutan in the wild (or at the incredible Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre if your kids are little!) The wildlife sighting is phenomenal and the tropical islands dotted off the coast make the perfect retreat to end any family half-term holiday; the clear waters and sandy beaches are sure to delight children (and adults!) of all ages. To the orangutans…   6. Family fun in Vietnam There might be a little bit of a mixed bag weather-wise in Vietnam over October half-term, but we don’t think that should deter you from going. With time to adventure through the busy cities, the chance to get away from it all in lesser-visited Ninh Binh , see iconic Ha Long Bay for yourself and enjoy some relaxing beach days, this sample 16-day itinerary has something for everyone. We recommend heading to the beaches of the south to make the most of the returning sunny days! Dive in…   7. Cambodia Cambodia has everything you need for an unbeatable October half-term holiday adventure, as well as the perfect introduction to South East Asia. It is the end of the green season in Cambodia this time of year, but that means the landscape will be looking beautifully lush, Angkor Wat will be quieter and so will the beaches! There’s so much culture, beauty and experience to be had here with countless temples, sense-sizzling markets, paradise islands and the friendliest people. But, maybe pack a brolly just in case! Take me there!   8. The Maldives The Maldives might not be your first thought when planning a family holiday, but with fantastic family-friendly resorts like Siyam World Maldives (with villas that come complete with your very own waterslide into the shimmering turquoise ocean!!), it absolutely shouldn’t be ruled out. There can be a few showers in October and it is a little humid, but if you can deal with the odd shower then you’ll be rewarded with supremely quiet beaches and the ultimate tranquil family getaway. Claim your pool slide villa!   9. Tanzania Without doubt one of the greatest wildlife destinations on the planet, why wouldn’t Tanzania be on your wishlist for a family adventure?! October half-term is a fantastic time for a safari here, with warm sunny days and only the occasional shower. Can you picture your kids’ faces the first time they spot a lion in real life? That is the magic of a family safari. It’s safari time…

5 travel books to inspire your wanderlust

Today is #NationalBookLoversDay . We love a good book here at HA. Books are there for the dreamers, they’re there to allow us an escape to another time, place or world. For many, they’ve been a bit of a salvation this last year or so, allowing us to travel to far of shores during a time when, for once, that wasn’t possible. To mark the occasion, here are 5 travel-related books recommended by our travel-loving team, for those days when you want to kick back, relax, and transport yourself to a far-off world…   1. The Travelling Cat Chronicles – Hiro Arikawa Fenton, our Japan expert, was quick to recommend this book. His review: ‘Melancholy and heart-warming in equal measures, this is the story of a man and his cat that will appeal to even the most die-hard ‘dog person’.  A unique glimpse into modern, rural Japan that will make you want to retreat to the countryside to contemplate life itself.’ Inspired? Check out our Classic Japan sample itinerary here. 2. Arabia – Levison Wood This book follows Levison’s adventures through the heart of the Middle East. Following in the ancient footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia, this book is an account of Levison’s 5000-mile journey through the heart of the Middle East. Travelling through 13 countries, crossing the Arabian Peninsula, and learning about the region through the stories and lives of the people he meets, it’s a fascinating insight into a world we don’t often hear about. This book will transport you away from your sofa to a land of epic mystery, history, religious and spiritual adventure. Have an Arabian adventure of your own in Oman . Find out more .   3. Dark Star Safari – Paul Theroux Paul Theroux is the father of the iconic interviewer, Louis. This book follows his travels from Cairo to Cape Town in the most authentic way possible, only taking one flight – an impressive feat at 60 years old! Theroux really takes you deep under the skin of Africa, referring to it as a ‘dark star’ as he makes his way through lands that have faced many troubles and adversities over the years. Travelling through Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania , Uganda and South Africa (and more!) this is a tale of unpredictable adventures and the pages give you a window into real Africa. Experience Africa for yourself on this Ultimate Uganda sample itinerary . 4. The Motorcycle Diaries – Che Guevara The Motorcycle Diaries are the diaries of a young Guevara as he embarks on an epic adventure and explores the wonders of South America on the back of a bike. Reading tales written by iconic Che Guevara is never a bore and the pages are crammed full of dramatic adventures and youthful escapades as Che travels from one drink to the next. The adventures in this book would make for an eventful life and full memoir alone, without the epic life he had to come. If you’re more of a film buff than a bookworm, then you’re in luck. Che’s adventures were made into an Oscar-winning film back in 2004, the perfect Sunday film to wake your wanderlust. Inspired? Get off the beaten travel in Argentina on this Northern Off-Road Adventure . 5. Married to a Bedouin – Marguerite van Geldermalsen This is the tale of Marguerite, a New Zealand-born nurse, who met a Bedouin whilst travelling through the Middle East in 1978. Mohammed, a charismatic souvenier-seller, invited her and her friend to stay in his cave and, never ones to turn down an adventure, they said yes. And that was the beginning of their love story. They married and lived together within the 2,000 year old ancient caves of Petra. She worked as the resident nurse and learned to live like the Bedouin. She’d cook traditional dinners over an open fire, collect water using donkeys, and drink sweet black tea. Her story is truly extraordinary and makes for a fantastic read. Explore Petra and other highlights on our Classic Jordan sample itinerary .   We understand that things are still fairly uncertain right now. But we’re at the end of the phone on 01242 253 073 or email to answer any questions you may have about getting away on a much-needed holiday later this year or next. We can’t wait to get you travelling again! Get in touch today.

About Tanzania

Tanzania offers some of the best wildlife experiences in Africa, suiting both first-time and seasoned safari goers. The main draw to Tanzania is the country’s natural environment, with its flora and fauna being of significant interest, alongside the pristine white sand beaches of the islands of Zanzibar, Mafia, and Pemba. With the exception of Stone Town, a fascinating Zanzibar coastal town and port which is rich in history and culture, cities are of little interest when compared with the nature reserves and forests of Tanzania. Leopards, lions, rhinos, buffalos and elephants are one of the country’s wildlife highlights and are known as the ‘Big Five’, but with chimpanzees and whale sharks mixed into Tanzania’s biodiversity, it is impossible to list even a fraction of what this beautiful country has to offer. Not forgetting, of course, the Great Migration – a spectacle of millions of wildebeest and zebra completing their annual journey across the Serengeti, with predators in hot pursuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

For safari, Tanzania is generally divided into three areas, with the northern safari circuit including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara, as well as several small and seldom-visited parks and reserves. The south includes the little known Nyere and Ruaha National Parks (easily accessed from Dar es Salaam); while in the west lies the wild and remote Katavi and Mahale Mountains National Parks. Wildlife activities in the north are primarily focused on safari drives, with some walking opportunities available, whereas the south is best known for its boat safaris and some of the best walking activities found anywhere in Africa. In the west you’ll find wildlife of a bygone era and chimpanzees. Complementary to the obvious wildlife highlights, Tanzania is home to some seriously impressive natural phenomena. These include the Ngorongoro Crater, a huge volcanic caldera which needs to be seen to be believed, and Lake Manyara National Park, which offers breath-taking scenery over the great rift valley escarpment.

The standard of guiding is excellent, whilst the people are warm, welcoming and friendly. Tanzania is widely accepted as offering the best (and easiest!) safari and beach combination in Africa.

The best time to visit Tanzania is between June and October, although the majority of the country is a year-round destination, with a few factors to be aware of during the rainy season from March to the end of May. During this time the Selous, Ruaha and Katavi close their airstrips, making visiting near impossible, but the rest of the country remains open for business! It is worth noting that between these months you will see regular rain, although this doesn’t usually last for more than an afternoon.

Between the months of June to October the temperature rarely fluctuates from around 25 – 27 degrees, with humidity varying depending on your location.

Food is almost always included on safari and tends to be a delicious mix of international cuisines. Portions are large, options wide ranging and dinner features numerous courses: this made all the more impressive when considering that you are often dining at a remote camp with no easy access to fresh supplies or modern technology!

Snacks and drinks are regularly provided between meals, meaning that most visitors to Tanzania tend to return feeling extremely well fed! Hotels in Zanzibar are typically arranged on a half board basis to include breakfast and dinner (you will often find yourself out and about during the day with lunch being readily available). Some camps and hotels also include drinks but most do not; however, drinks and food tend to be of a similar or slightly lower cost to that of the UK, making for good value for money.

It is not currently possible to fly directly to Tanzania from the UK. The quickest route to get to the major airports is from London via Nairobi with Kenya Airways. As the route to Tanzania requires one stop, this opens up a variety of airlines such as Qatar, Emirates and Ethiopian Airways, all of which frequently have special offer fares at various points throughout the year. Departing from regional airports within the UK is also easy, with the likes of BA, Qatar, Emirates, KLM and Air France making for good options.

British citizens require a visa to enter Tanzania, which is possible to obtain in advance online via the Official Tanzania Immigration Services Website. While it is possible to obtain a visa on arrival, we would recommend organising one in advance of travel to avoid potential visa queues. The current cost of a single-entry visa for UK passport holders is $50 (including entry to Zanzibar).

Citizens of other nationalities should check with the Tanzanian High Commission for any visa regulations pertaining to them.

Tanzania is mostly a very safe country, particularly in the areas most frequented by tourists. Crime rates are higher in the bigger cities but with little to offer tourists we tend to avoid these areas anyway. If visiting Zanzibar’s Stone Town in the evening, then we would suggest arranging transfers through your accommodation. Most accommodations in Tanzania have safe deposit boxes in the rooms, whilst those that don’t will have a central safe and we suggest using these to store all valuables including cash.

As we are not medical experts, we feel that it is essential that you contact your GP regarding vaccinations and other medications necessary when travelling to Tanzania. We would suggest that, in addition to the vaccinations you’d routinely have as UK residents, further boosters should be obtained for Hepatitis A, Tetanus and Diptheria; however, this must be verified by a medical professional.

Malaria exists throughout much of Tanzania, so please consult your GP for advice on what malarial precautions to take.

Other good websites to use after speaking to your GP: The Travel Doctor, an interactive website providing specialist health information for travellers, including customised lists of travel medicines, vaccines and malaria tablets for holiday makers, global adventure travellers and expeditions.

The local currency is the Tanzanian Shilling, a closed currency which is only available in Tanzania; however, US dollars are accepted everywhere in Tanzania, with the Euro becoming more widely accepted in Zanzibar. If you did want to get some Tanzanian Shillings then you can exchange sterling at your arrival airport, but we suggest taking US dollars. ATM’s are available at all major airports in Tanzania and there are also a number of these available in Stone Town for Zanzibar. Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in Zanzibar hotels and at a good range of safari accommodations, although not all.

Tipping is very welcome and appreciated in Tanzania. You will generally find a central tipping box in almost all accommodations in Tanzania for camp staff, including chefs, housekeepers and hosts. The idea being that you can contribute to this at the end of your stay rather than handing out multiple small notes. A general guide would be $5 per guest per night. Safari guides are tipped separately, and to them we would recommend $10 per person, per day, with half for a half-day activity. Most safari camps and lodges will arrange safari activities so that you keep the same guide for the duration of your stay, so that you can tip your guide at the end of your stay. For transfer drivers, a small amount of roughly $3 – $5 per journey is usually sufficient. When changing currency it is worth asking for several notes of small denomination and it is also worthy of note that $100 bills are not accepted so should be avoided.

Departure Taxes

Departure taxes are payable when departing from all airports in Tanzania, including Zanzibar, but these are almost always included in the price of your flight ticket, so there is nothing that you need to pay locally unless we advise differently.

We believe travel should be a force for good. That means exploring with open eyes, treading lightly, and respecting the people and places that make the world so special. Our code of conduct isn’t about rules, it’s simply a guide to help you travel thoughtfully, ethically, and with care. Because every small choice makes a big difference.

  • If you choose to trust us with your holiday, we’ll send you a “Travel Facts” document when confirming your booking. This includes useful facts and travel advice, such as restaurant recommendations, reading tips, basic language information, cultural traditions, climate information, brief historical overviews, and more. We feel that this offers a useful insight and can help you interact with local residents in a more sensitive, well-informed manner. Please do try to take the time to read this information before your visit, it’s worth the time!

  • A number of the countries in which we operate holidays are religious societies with a widely observed set of customs. Always respect these norms, particularly when visiting religious buildings.

  • To the best of our knowledge, all hotels, lodges, and camps within our portfolio operate stringent measures to minimise water usage. All of our destinations have issues with water supplies to a certain extent, so feel free to raise any possible wastage should you encounter it during your stay, either with the accommodation or with us upon your return.

  • Please ask permission before taking photographs of people, and respect their wishes if they are not happy to be photographed. We find that friendly requests and a smile are usually met with a ‘yes!’

  • Strive, where possible, to make your own contribution to environmental practices as you travel. This might include minimising your electricity usage, not smoking in protected areas, avoiding coral while snorkelling, and safely disposing of all litter (recycling where possible).

  • Where possible, try to purchase from local suppliers. This includes shopping for souvenirs, dining out at restaurants, and booking additional excursions during your free time. In areas where haggling is an accepted part of daily life, don’t be offended if you’re unable to obtain what you perceive as a fair price for an item.

  • We emphasise to local suppliers that our clients should never be taken on unsolicited shopping trips, but if this does happen, try to retain your sense of humour, provide a firm refusal to participate and do let us know about it on your return. We pass on all feedback from every trip undertaken with us to our relevant local suppliers, who all share our commitment to travelling with sensitivity.

  • Please don’t remove any indigenous items from their natural habitat and attempt to bring them home as a souvenir. This particularly applies to everything from coral, shells, plants and food in the natural world, to cultural artefacts and antiques.

If you’re unsure about anything relating to the above, please feel free to chat to us. We’ve travelled extensively in the country and will be more than happy to offer our considered advice.
