What enthralled me to Tasmania was the stories I was told about the early settlers and the convicts. Most of the historical buildings still stand because they were constructed by the local sandstone, and every building has a story. While many will rent a car to tour the state, I would suggest that you take every opportunity to meet the locals and hear their stories. Here is a suggested itinerary.
Incredible, unbelievable how close we were taken to the wild animals! My safari at Makutsi has to be one of the best experiences I have had. Makutsi Main Camp is set on 10 hectares of tropical gardens. The camp offers two mineral swimming pools, allowing for adventure and relaxation to be combine. As there are no boundary fence around the camp, animals are able to roam around freely which allows the guest to enjoy their own private safaris whilst walking in the camp or sitting on their private terrace.
Oman holds to its culture and traditions but embraces the modern lifestyle. My first visit to the Middle East was to Oman as guest of the Omani Tourist Board. I flew into Muscat from Doha with Qatar Airlines. The city holds to its Arabian culture and traditions but embraces the modern lifestyle. One of the highlights was a visit to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. The pathways, terraces and buildings are covered with beautiful marble. Here is my suggested itinerary.
