1. Olerai House Hotel September 24, 2009 Olerai House Hotel is a beautiful country hotel set on the shores of Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Great Rift Valley. Painted ochre-red, it nestles under yellow acacia trees and purple jacarandas and is fanned by a cool breeze from the shores of Lake Naivasha. It’s watched over in the far distance by the extinct blue volcano of Mount Longonot.

2. The Big Five & More July 21, 2009 Byline: Danielle Bruce “goes overland to experience more of East Africa” Swathes of cloud fell around the rim of the crater, the early morning mist and high altitude vapours bringing a slight chill to the crisp clean air. Perched on the lip of what is known as “Africa’s Eden,” I gazed down from our camp, foggy patches casting thick shadows over the vast caldera floor.Africa is a timeless place, and even moreso when it comes to the Ngorongoro Crater – a spectacular bowl that was carved into the earth’s surface over 10,000 years ago by Mother Nature’s hand.

Egypt Uncovered July 21, 2009 Byline: Tom Fielding “finds a more mystical Egypt that is still waiting to be discovered” A vast expanse of sand stretched out before me, the fine soft grains covered in abstract monoliths of all shapes and sizes. For a moment, I felt as though I had been transported onto the film set of a “Star Wars” movie. All I needed now was my son’s light saber and you could call me Luke Skywalker. The rock-strewn landscape glittered like gold in the midday sun, the harsh rays bouncing off the twisted structures. Eager to get a birds eye view of Egypt’s mystical White Desert we left the 4X4 ...

4. My girlfriend's first Leopard July 21, 2009 After more than 5 years of going out together, my girlfriend Kristy finally persuaded me that we should try a holiday in Africa. As I'm constantly travelling back and forth to Africa for work we usually holiday elsewhere in the world - but after deep thought (over a beer) and serious negotiation (over 10 beers) we decided to travel there in September/October 2008. Our safari started in Uganda and would finish in Tanzania via Kenya. Everything was going great guns and she was falling in love with Africa as I had many years before. A great bonus for me was that we were seeing many things in Afr... (read more) Author: siobhan mcgeady

The funny thing about it, in some respects this can be the case with some drought tolerant plants, in some situations. If you are a gardener though who wants to give your plants a better that even chance of surviving their first summer then here is the best way to go about it. I’ve always found that the best time of the year... (read more) Author: Michael Bowater

6. Where You Can Find Your Bouquets February 26, 2009 In the Victorian era, the bride and groom would send bouquets to each other to convey secret meanings. Each flower meant something different, such as carnations for "love and devotion," chrysanthemums for "wealth and truth," the lily for "majesty and honor," tulips for "love and passion," daisies for "beauty," amaryllis for "pride, determination and radiant beauty" and yellow acacia for "secret love."
