Hello, is there a cheap hotel in El Castillo? max. 40 US$ single room?
Hi all,
So I've contacted the airline I'm flying into CR with and they said proof of bus tickets is sufficient for onward travel.
Can anyone share any bus companies which are reliable for purchase online?
Ultimately, I will be going from Monteverde up to the Nicaraguan border - so anything along that route is my ideal. Alternatively, perhaps I'll take a shuttle (but most seem to be around the $99 mark which seems pricey)
Hi everyone
Planning shuttle buses between areas for Costa Rica and want to know if anyone knows if we must book/pay in advance or can we book a day before needed in country and pay then? In USA you just order a car and pay at end of ride.
Concerned about booking several shuttles and paying by paypal which most require and them not showing up.
Any advice??
Hello everybody, I will be travelling to Costa rica with my boyfriend in August and need help with the itinerary. We will be travelling by rental Car (4wd) and after reading your posts have decided to skip Manuel Antonio altogether, but I still think that I need one more day in the Puerto Viejo area and I do not know how to manage it.
As per the proposed itinerary, is it feasible by car? Thank you!!!
1 (16 August): flight from Madrid, night in Alajuela
2 (17 August): Tortuguero
3 (18 August)…
Hi all
I have a reservation withThrifty car rental and they seem to have a better price on Toyota Prado for 12 days. I chatted with https://costaricadiscount.com and they said thrifty is bad and cheats. This company offer discount card for car rental and we need to pay $40. We only get 20% of the base rate and that is not significant. Another way for them to make money. Is thrifty really bad? They said vamos's rental cars are old. I think that is correct. So I am confused which company to rent a…
Hey there! Im going to be in Costa Rica from July 21- August 13 and want to start my trip on the Osa Peninsula. I have been researching hiking options for Corcovado national Park and am disappointed that it is SO
expensive! I guess these days, you have to hire a guide or have a tour company arrange one for you, and its cheaper the more people you have in your party. I am a solo traveler, and have realized that I definitely can not do this on my own in an economical way. I would love to join a…
Hello, I will be traveling to Costa Rica this July with my family (which also consist of a 3 and 5 year old) for 3-4 weeks. I am considering either flying into Liberia and heading to Samara/Mal Pais and Montezuma area or flying into San Jose and going to Jaco/Manual Antonio area. I have been to the latter and am familiar with its beauty and know that my children and husband would love it. However, I have been reading a lot about Samara and south and am wondering if it would be better (it…
Hello, I have booked my flight to San Jose for November this year, We have 17 days in Costa Rica and I can't decide how to spend them...We are backpacking, not big party goers but do like to have a few low key beers, we are interested in wildlife, surfing and scenery. I have figured out two itinerary options and am wondering which is more feasible/enjoyable. Also wondering if anyone has taken adventure connections, I'm looking at the rafting from puerto viejo to la fortuna. here are two rough…
Hi there all you CR gurus! after much work and research, I finally got an 8 day trip planned for my sister's fancy 5-star family.The broad plan now is for me to arrive before them, travel solo for a week, meet them for the 8 days, then continue to travel solo after they leave for another week. Now I am hoping the experienced folks here can help me plan my solo travel that will be within my budget, good choices given the green season, and will make sense given where I will have to be to meet my…
Hi all, I went to Costa Rica last December for New Year's, surfed in Jaco, whitewater rafted in the Pacuare, and hot spring'ed it up in La Fortuna. Hope this photoblog and video helps your planning!

I can eat anything now!!! ♥♥♥ Click on my username for more reviews!
Posted by gettingwell on Apr 16, 2014
Before I had to really watch what I ate and usually had stomach aches and gas anyway. I have IBS. These help the food to digest properly and I can now eat what I want. Also, my husband took one before a steak dinner he knew would cause problems. He was trouble free and will now use them when he eats high fat foods. I will continue to get these because they work the best of the four or five I've tried. I like the tablets better than the capsules because if I'm eating just a small snack, I can use my pill cutter to cut these into 4 pieces. If you found this review helpful please click the 'yes' button to let me know :)
The best digestive enzyme around
Posted by Reviewer1622262 on Mar 27, 2009
Been using these things for years now and I can't find a better one out there, and I have tried loads! Best used with Now Optimum Digestive System, as these also break down sugers and other things.
Great Buy
Posted by Reviewer1550606 on Aug 12, 2009
I really have nothing negative to say about this product. I have had stomach problems the last couple years, and nothing was really working. The doctor gave me pills, I changed my diet, but they only seemed to offer minimal help. I decided to try these enzymes and ever since I haven't been getting sick as often, and my stomach has see a large improvement. It did not cure me, but it has definitely improved my overall life enjoyment.
Super Enzymes
Posted by Reviewer1004434 on Aug 12, 2008
Would not want to be without this product. Have used this product for years -- it completely eliminates indigestion, heartburn, etc.
Posted by Reviewer1974657 on Oct 02, 2008
Bought for mom, who now is having 2-3 BMs a day for the first time in 50 years.

Posted by Reviewer2400892 on Jan 05, 2008
After using Super Enzymes I have no need for antacids!
great complete digestive enzyme
Posted by Reviewer1421789 on Jan 26, 2008
A great enzyme that also contains Hcl and ox bile extract to aid a weakened pancreas. I like it becasue I don't have to take multiple supplements. One pill odes it all.
great product
Posted by Reviewer2381942 on Jan 08, 2008
Since I've had 1/2 of my stomach removed due to a tumor, I found this product a great help in aiding digestion. Recommend to anyone with digestive problems!
Good quality digestive supplement
Posted by Reviewer1490160 on May 24, 2010
These work well to help improve digestion. As another reviewer noted, they work better taken at the beginning of a meal. I would recommend these and will purchase them again. Great value, too.

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese is famously great at using makeup to create retro glamor, so it might surprise you that she's never done a makeup line before. But that's about to be corrected. Dita has partnered with German beauty brand Artdeco to create a line aptly called Dita, and it contains all the red lipstick and fake eyelashes that you'd expect it to.
"I think that anyone can learn to be glamorous with the right tools and practice," Dita tells Beautylish, and I'm inclined to agree, as what we think of as "beauty" is nothing but a set of socially constructed signifiers we are trained to recognize as desirable, but which nevertheless can be a source of pleasure and creativity for women so long as we acknowledge the game we are playing.

the room, breakfast and overall hotel was beyond poor!
Pool was nice and breakfast was always plentiful. Cleaning staff did very good job. I felt safe leaving my things in the room.
The locals party at o'reilys out front until 10:30pm and race down the road. Its was spring break but everynight there were loud partiers and the walls dont hold back sound.
Location was fine. Breakfast okay.
They bathroom was not clean - I had to Room hair from toilet and bathtop before using it!
Airconditioner didn't work very well

I recently checked the shot count on my three Nikon 1 V2 bodies. Then I added up the number of photographs I've taken with Nikon 1 bodies like the V3 and J5 that I borrowed from Nikon Canada in order to write some reviews. I discovered that I've taken over 100,000 images with Nikon 1 gear since the late summer of 2013 when I bought my first V2. Hmmm…no wonder my shutter finger is sore from time to time.
Long Exposure Photography with an Advanced Compact Camera
Most compact camera users may fear that you can only achieve long exposure images at night with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. But an advanced compact camera with manual controls can achieve some pretty decent results, as I found using the Canon G5X.
Photographing the Milky Way in the Cederberg
A week ago I got the opportunity to spend a long weekend in South Africa's Cederberg Wilderness Area. While there, we enjoyed two cloudless nights, during which the stars were exceptionally bright. In fact, in this remote part of the world the stars are always exceptionally bright compared to the cities we may be used to.
The Eiffel Tower at Night
If you ever have the chance to visit Paris, one of the absolute highlights is, of course, the Eiffel Tower. Riding the elevator to the top is an experience in and of itself — as you fly through the Tower's metallic skeleton, you start to see flashes of the city shrinking below you. When you come to a stop (after stepping past the fifteen-foot tall gears that turn the elevator's cable), the view you see is maddeningly beautiful.
Night Photography in San Francisco Tonight
I know it is a last minute announcement, but if anyone in San Francisco area is interested in joining me for night photography tonight, we will be meeting in the parking area of the Treasure Island at 7 PM. We will start at Bay Bridge, then head over to other places to photograph the city. I was hoping to meet for a photo walk this coming weekend, but my wife will be arriving on Friday and we already have plans for the weekend…
So if anyone is up for it, leave a comment below. If you want to exchange contact info, use the Contact Us form please. Looking forward for some fun tonight! And some have already asked me, but there is no fee/cost to come! Don't forget to bring your photos for some critique, if you are open for that of course :)
I will be heading out to Yosemite tomorrow and will be back on Friday evening. If anyone wants to join me, I will drive – have space for 3 in my car. Planning to do some landscape photography and will do my best to help you out with your photography (for free of course!). Let me know if you are interested – hotel rates are very reasonable right now (got my room for $69 per night). I apologize for posting this so late and I hope to see you guys tonight!
Keeping The DSLR Handy
I have stated in a previous article that I probably will sell all my DSLR gear eventually, so rarely does it ever get used. Virtually all my work now is done with mirrorless m4/3 (Olympus EM-5). But I must admit to being glad that I brought my DSLR along with me to a recent trip to The Lake District and Scotland. And while I used my EM-5 for virtually the entire trip, canoeing on lakes and hiking up hills with it in a small camera bag, I knew the DSLR would be more effective at capturing the night sky. I was hoping at some point the skies would be clear enough for me to capture some stars, possibly even the Milky Way, and since I had my car bringing along extra gear was not an issue.
How to Photograph the Milky Way
Many travel and landscape photographers, including myself, try to avoid shooting scenery with a clear blue sky. As much as we like seeing puffy or stormy clouds to spice up our photographs, we have no control over what the nature provides each day. Sometimes we get lucky and capture beautiful sunrises and sunsets with blood red skies, and other times we are stuck with a clear, boring sky. When I find myself in such a situation and I know that the next morning will be clear, I sometimes explore opportunities to photograph the stars and the Milky Way at night. I am sure you have been in situations where you got out at night in a remote location and saw an incredibly beautiful night sky with millions of stars shining right at you, with patches of stars in a "cloudy" formation that are a part of the Milky Way. If you do not know how to photograph the night sky and the Milky Way, this guide might help you in understanding the basics.
Nikon D4s and Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4
What do you do when you have two low-light kings, the Nikon D4s and the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4? You take them for a night shoot of course! After receiving both for some testing / reviews, I took off to photograph Denver downtown at night. It was way past the sunset time, so I knew that I would only have street lights to illuminate my subjects. Since the Zeiss Otus is an insanely sharp lens wide open, I set its aperture to f/1.4 and only changed it a couple of times during the night in order to increase depth of field and ISO. Interestingly, at such a large aperture, I found myself often shooting at pretty low ISO levels – generally under ISO 3200. So it was nice to be able to push my shutter speeds as high as 1/400 for freezing motion:

CodeGear, Delphi and RIA development
Thanks to this post by Marco Cantù, I've found two interesting articles by Justin James about the future of the Embarcadero/CodeGear development environments:
- CodeGear: Working hard to rejuvenate its legacy;

Justin states that "CodeGear's .NET products are expanding in new directions, which include RIA development and targeting other platforms (through systems such as Mono)".
Will we be able to write rich internet applications using Delphi and targeting both .NET and Mono platforms?

Exploring Google Earth in Linux
Google Earth lets you view the world from space and zoom in on towns, roads, and even buildings. We'll show you how to travel the planet from your Linux desktop.
Google Earth [1] brings hi-res aerial views of the whole Earth to your computer desktop. The latest full release, Google Earth 4, integrates satellite and aerial images with Wikipedia text [2], 3D models, and photos from Panoramio [3]. We tried out version 4 in Linux and found the journey quite pleasing – but if you ever decide to integrate your own 3D model, you may need Windows or MacOS.
On Screen
To run Google Earth in Linux, you need a desktop with working 3D acceleration. Apart from this, the software does not ask too much of your computer: a CPU with a clock speed of 500MHz and 128MB RAM are all it takes, although Google does recommend a 2.4 GHz CPU and 512MB RAM to avoid annoying screen refresh delays. Because Google Earth downloads the image data while you are using the tool, you also need a fast Internet connection. The box titled "Installation" tells you how to set up Google Earth on Linux.

SODAQ: a lego-like, plug-in, rapid prototyping board
The Arduino compatible board to take your projects beyond your home and garden. Anywhere your imagination takes you.
Prototyping should be rapid. Putting projects together should be as easy as clicking together lego-like building blocks. SODAQ makes it so. SODAQ is a multi-feature microprocessor board that lets you connect sensors and devices to the internet, quickly and with no fuss. It's designed for connecting things efficiently, running off-grid with built-in, ready-to-go solar power:
Getting data off a device is only half the story – it needs to go somewhere. We designed the SODAQ system to be able to communicate from anywhere, with a GPRS module and all the control code for it included from the start.
It takes the Arduino prototyping concept, makes it simpler, and extends it. No breadboarding or soldering required, but with plenty of memory, sockets, solar panel and battery control, and extra features, all on one board.
The board has built in sockets for Grove modules; a realtime clock; extended flash memory; USB on-board; and the Bee socket can take any WiFi/RF/XBee or other compatible plugin for communications instead of our GPRS module.

Global risk-takers steal show from relatively conservative Australian corporations
- From: Herald Sun
- October 16, 2012
AUSTRALIAN companies face being muscled out of their neighbourhood at the deal table by their less risk-averse global competitors, a new report warns.
The relatively conservative mindset among Australia's corporate elite could be handing international rivals a head start in pursuing big global deals - most worryingly, in key Asian markets.
The Ernst & Young six-monthly Capital Confidence Barometer shows Australian businesses remain upbeat about the economic outlook - even if it has softened a little - but are afraid to back it up with cash. Just one in five companies said they were actively looking at mergers and acquisition, down from 41 per cent a year ago.
The survey of more than 1500 global executives shows Australian bosses are more focused on squeezing savings from efficiencies to protect profit margins than growth. It warns the Australian corporate sector's "wait and see" approach may turn into a long-term nightmare if companies do not change their thinking.
Just last month, Australia's largest cotton farm, Cubbie Station, was sold to a Chinese-led consortium for an undisclosed price.
Although that consortium included Australian interests, other domestic bidders were reportedly knocked back during the tendering process.
"Australian companies need to be careful not to miss opportunities that bolder competitors are prepared to take," Ernst & Young transaction advisory leader for Oceania Graeme Browning said. "This may allow global competitors to steal a march, particularly in Asia."
More than 80 per cent of respondents believe the domestic economy is stable or improving - down from 91 per cent in April - but almost 20 per cent are planning to lay-off staff in coming months.
The report comes as the latest monthly inflation reading in China fell, giving the Government more room to slash interest rates or pump in money to stimulate its slowing economy.
A Government report released yesterday showed consumer inflation fell to 1.9 per cent last month from August's 2 per cent.

LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

I am new to the Tech Arena forum.
I have taken a Java course in college back in 2004.
What they haven't taught me is file and Cd Volume manipulation.
I want to know that if it's possible that a user can create a source code
for prevent CD from copying to any other drive or to any other CD?
I may have figured it is the Java.io library file, and its permissions sub-library files.
I may have known that user goes by the Try..Catch...Finally exception conditional command.
Here's the scenario:
A user burns a file onto a CD which program source code is backed up
by a conditional Try...Catch exception for User that tries to copy any content of the CD volume.
If the scenario is correct, then will anybody will provide me some source code examples?
Thanks in advance.

Embark on an epic tour of East Africa
Looking to experience the very best that East Africa has to offer? Look no further than this all-encompassing journey from Zimbabwe to Kenya. From the furious beauty of Victoria Falls to the fragrant delights of Zanzibar's spices, and the peaceful shores of Lake Malawi to the modern culture of Nairobi, this trip features changing landscapes, the chance to meet some truly remote peoples and wildlife galore. Spot elephants in Zimbabwe, see lions in the Serengeti and track gorillas in Rwanda. Abundant in natural wonders and colourful cultures, this amazing region is sure to create memories that will last a lifetime.
- Feel the power of mighty Victoria Falls as we view them from the Zimbabwe side
- Discover the largest ruins in sub-Saharan Africa. A Unesco World Heritage site, the ruined city was first constructed in the 11th century and is thought to be a royal palace for the Zimbabwean monarch.
- Chill out on the northern beaches of Zanzibar enjoying white sand and sparkling blue sea of the Indian Ocean
- Explore the stunning Serengeti and discover animals unlike any you have ever seen while camping within the park
- Seek out the rare mountain gorilla on a trek through Rwanda's steamy forests and spend an unforgettable hour in their presence
- Experience the two sides of Jinja, a riverside retreat at the source of the Nile but also the adventure capital of Uganda
Day 1 Victoria Falls
Your adventures beings with a welcome meeting at 6pm on Day 1.
You can arrive at any time as there are no activities planned until this important meeting; please ask the hotel reception where it will take place. If your flight arrives too late, we recommend that you consider arriving a day early and book a night's accommodation prior to the trip so you are able to attend. If you are going to be late please inform the hotel reception. We'll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting so please ensure you have all details on hand to provide to your leader.
For those of you who arrive early, there are many activities and sights to do and see around Victoria Falls.
Our campground is centrally located in the town of Victoria Falls, the perfect place to use as a base for the vast array of activities on offer in the area. Upgraded accommodation is available, please ask at reception or speak to your leader. WiFi is also available.
If you are interested in the Optional Helicopter flight ( 12 minutes or 25 minutes ) we endorse the following operator only: Zambezi Helicopter co CAA Zimbabwe. Your leader can help you arrange this activity.
Responsible Travel Note:
During your visit to the Victoria Falls area you may notice businesses offering an optional 'Walk with the Lions' experience. We recommend that Intrepid travellers bypass this activity as it is contrary to Intrepid's Responsible Travel guideline stating that we 'actively discourage the participation of Intrepid groups in activities which exploit animals - wild or domestic.' Professional wildlife conservation organisations, including Born Free and the World Society for Protection of Animals (WSPA), advise that habituating lions to humans can shorten their life and may result in lion-human conflict issues. While there is some merit in the argument that the money that you pay for the activity goes towards lion research, we feel that the negative impacts on the lions' rehabilitation far outweigh this.
Safety Note:
While at Victoria Falls you may hear about Devils Pool. Intrepid does not recommend this activity due to the high risk involved. Our leaders cannot assist in organising this activity.
Day 2 Victoria Falls
The Victoria Falls are an enormous curtain of water, about a mile wide, falling 108 m into a narrow gorge below. In the wet season, the spray created can rise up an incredible 400 m and the falls are an impressive raging torrent. The spray from the falls can sometimes be seen from kilometres away. It's no wonder that the local name Mosi oa Tunya means the 'smoke that thunders'. In the dry season, the view of the falls is unobstructed by spray and it's possible to see little islets in the river below.
Your leader will take you to a local activity centre where a range of activities will be on offer. We have not risk assessed all activities and only those listed in our trip notes are recommended. If you are unsure please check with your leader.
Please note that it is against company policy for leaders to facilitate the booking of any activities that have not been risk assessed or do not adhere to our company's Responsible Travel policy and ethos. This includes organising transport to and from these activities in our vehicles.

Malawi is dominated by its lake, which covers almost a fifth of the country and provides a livelihood for many Malawian people. Fishermen, canoe and net makers, and fish traders all ply their trade on Lake Malawi. A common sight is of a fisherman in his bwato (a dugout canoe made from a hollowed tree trunk) fishing on the still lake at the break of day.
Our campsite at Kande Beach is right on the shore of Lake Malawi. For those after a bit more comfort upgrades are again possible (subject to availability). There is no access to WiFi.
Day 12 Lake Malawi
Day 13 Chitimba
Chitimba lies along the coast of Lake Malawi and has lovely beaches, friendly locals and a laidback atmosphere. Camp facilities, WiFi and upgrades are available.
Day 14 Iringa
Set up camp on the grounds of a farmhouse on the outskirts of this pleasant settlement. Perhaps go for a walk around the old farm house to welcome the evening. Camp facilities, WiFi and upgrades are available.
Day 15 Bagamoyo
Situated at the foot of the thickly wooded Uluguru Mountains, Mikumi National Park is home to large herds of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, lions and leopards. It's Tanzania's fourth largest national park.
Although we don't take an off-road safari into the depths of the park, a good selection of the wildlife that resides in Mikumi can usually be seen on our way from the southern Tanzanian highland town of Iringa.
Our camp at Bagamoyo is by the beach. Upgrades are available, however there is no Wi-Fi and only cold showers.
Day 16 Stone Town
Filled with idyllic beaches, winding cobblestone alleyways and fragrant bazaars, Zanzibar's rich history involves everything from slave traders to Arabian sultans and fruit exporters. The sight of traditional dhows sailing along the coast invokes images of what the island was like back in the days of Livingstone.
The old part of Zanzibar's main city is known as Stone Town. The best way to see this exotic port town is on foot, exploring the bazaars, shops, mosques, palaces, courtyards and myriad intricate alleyways. When the sun is setting, why not enjoy a sundowner from a bar overlooking the seafront before trying one of the island's local seafood curries at one of the town's many restaurants.
Spend a night in Stone Town at a basic inn with double/twin-share rooms and access to WiFi.
As this is a combination trip, your group leader and the composition of your group may change at this location. There will be a group meeting to discuss the next stage of your itinerary and meet your new fellow travellers. Please note the Zanzibar portion of your itinerary may have more passengers than the maximum group size of 22 as we have a crossover of trips starting and finishing in Zanzibar.
Day 17 Zanzibar Northern Beaches
Today we head to the northern beaches and enjoy white sand and sparkling blue sea - the Indian Ocean at its best.
Day 18 Zanzibar Northern Beaches
Day 19 Bagamoyo
Our camp at Bagamoyo is by the beach. Upgrades are available, however there is no Wi-Fi and only cold showers.
As this is a combination trip, your group leader and the composition of your group may change at this location.
Day 20 Usambara Mountains
The Usambara Mountains are a lovely unspoilt area of Tanzania. Unlike the coast and the north, very few tourists visit this area so it has a freshness that can be hard to find elsewhere. The mountains are located in the north-east of Tanzania, between Kilimanjaro and the Indian Ocean, and overlook the vast Masai steppe. They are wonderfully lush and green and the area has been dubbed the Galapagos of the plant world. The forests stretch across the mountains and are ideal for easy hikes and guided walks. As beautiful as the place is, its real jewels are the local people and villages.
Our base is the old German colony of Lushoto where we stay in the grounds of one of the earliest hotels in Africa. Our campsite has flush toilets, showers, upgrades possible but rarely WiFi.
Day 21 Usambara Mountains
Day 22 Marangu
Our camp ground is basic with flush toilets and showers situated on the lush green slopes of Kilimanjaro.
Day 23 Karatu
Visit nearby waterfalls and stop to admire the view of the plains below. If the weather is clear, get a view of Kilimanjaro - the magnificent snow-capped mountain and Africa's highest peak at 5,895 m (19,340 ft).
Head off to Karatu with a stop at Arusha to stock up on supplies (265km, approx 6 hours)
With red dirt streets, green hills in the distance and plenty of smiling children, Karatu is a small town near the gateway to the Ngorongoro Crater.
Day 24 Ngorongoro Crater / Serengeti National Park
Enjoy a safari in the crater, spending between three and four hours exploring this area. A huge, perfectly intact volcanic crater, Ngorongoro is home to some 30,000 animals including endangered black rhinos, lions, leopards, elephants, impalas, zebras and hippos. The crater floor offers excellent game viewing all year round and the photographic opportunities here are unrivalled.
Continue on to the wide, open plains of the Serengeti - green after the rains, brown and burnt in the dry season, and home to thousands of hoofed animals and fierce predators - are perhaps the quintessential image of Africa. Flat and rolling with long grasses and dotted with acacia trees, the plains get their name from the Maasai word Siringet - 'the place where the land moves on forever'.
Game viewing in the Serengeti is amazing and as you camp out at night, don't be surprised to hear lions in the distance as you recount your wildlife sightings from the day. In normal circumstances, we would expect to see the Big Five during our stay in the Serengeti.
Our campsite is within the Serengeti itself so listen out for the sounds of nocturnal animals as you drift off to sleep. No upgrades or WiFi are available tonight.
Day 25 Serengeti National Park
For an unforgettable experience, you might like to do an optional sunrise balloon ride over the Serengeti in place of some of the morning game drive. As the balloon only holds 16 people, places are limited and it is recommended you book this activity in advance. Please inquire when booking your trip to secure this optional activity.
If you have pre-booked this activity, you'll be picked up and driven to the launch site where you receive a safety briefing from your pilot. You'll then float over the Serengeti as the sun comes up gaining an overview of the immensity of the Serengeti, seeing the abundance of wildlife in their early morning activity and sometimes descending to tree height for amazing wildlife photography opportunities. Upon landing, you'll be treated to a five-star bush breakfast before being returned to your truck and leader.
Please note that we offer this activity as a pre-booked service which will guarantee you a spot in a balloon. If you choose to wait and book this activity locally on the ground you may get a better price. However this is a popular activity and places are limited. It is at your own discretion if you wish to pre-book this service with us or try and book it locally while you are on your trip.
You'll notice many Maasai villages in the region of the Ngorongoro Crater. While it's of course fascinating to visit different cultures, past experience has shown that these villages exist primarily as tourism businesses offering somewhat contrived performances of their traditional ways. You'll be charged an entry fee of approx US$20-35 and the Maasai will try very hard to sell souvenirs to you. While many clients still enjoy the experience, others have found it artificial and uncomfortable. We recommend our travellers bypass this activity as our Kenyan colleagues observe that it negatively impacts the Maasai culture and travellers' perception of this culture.
Day 26 Mto Wa Mbu
A small village community, Mto Wa Mbu offers an excellent way to get a close-up look at life in an African town away from the main tourist trail.
Day 27 Arusha
Join the local community with a guided stroll around the farming areas - including visits to a kindergarten, milling machine, local homes and farmlands. This is a great way to have fun and find out more about the life of the locals. You'll also have the chance to look around the town and visit the local market. You may wish to indulge in a spot of shopping - wood carvings and local artworks are the specialities of this area.
A short afternoon drive (1.5 hours) takes us to Arusha.
Our campsite is in Meserani, on the outskirts of Arusha, and has flush toilets and showers. Depending on availability an upgrade to a room may be an option. There is no WiFi available at the campsite.
Day 28 Nairobi
If you have the energy, soak up the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Nairobi - There are plenty of good bars and restaurants.
Notes: Unfortunately petty crime has become fairly common in Nairobi and recently arrived visitors to the capital can often make for tempting targets. Your trip leader will verse you in a few worthwhile precautions at the welcome meeting. Some top tips are to get local advice on where to walk, keep valuables in a neck wallet or money belt or leave them secure in your hotel, and to not leave belongings unattended on chairs or the floor. Stay aware even when inside, as thieves and pickpockets have been known to operate indoors as well. There's no need to be paranoid, but appearing vigilant is a great deterrent to would-be thieves.
Enjoy the comfort of a hotel with pool, WiFi and 24 hour restaurant tonight.
Day 29 Masai Mara National Reserve
Day 30 Masai Mara National Reserve
There's also the chance to get an unforgettably different perspective with a sunrise balloon ride high over the park. If you have pre-booked this activity (please see 'Important Notes') you will be picked up and driven to the launch site and receive a safety briefing from your pilot. You then glide through the dawn, sometimes at tree height, providing amazing wildlife photography opportunities; sometimes ascending to get an overview of the enormity of the Masai Mara plains and the early morning movements of the teeming herds. Upon landing you'll be treated to a bush breakfast before being returned to your vehicle.
Notes: If you are taking a balloon ride over the Mara you will be taken to the launch place from our campsite before dawn and returned to the group when you have finished your ride. We offer this activity as a pre-booked service which will guarantee you a spot in a balloon. If you choose to wait and book this activity locally on the ground you may get a better price. However this is a popular activity and places are limited.
Day 31 Eldoret
Day 32 Kampala
Day 33 Queen Elizabeth National Park
Day 34 Queen Elizabeth National Park
Day 35 Lake Bunyonyi
Day 36 Gorilla Trek
Day 37 Gorilla Trek
Day 38 Gorilla Trek

Please note the prices of these optionals are not inclusive of transport costs to and from the activity. Your guide will organise transport for you to be paid locally.
Day 39 Masaka

Vic Falls to Gorillas , March 2015
Karen McGarity
In your sampling of a large geographic area, don't let the many long travel days, superficial contact with locals and uneven accommodations dampen your enthusiasm for the vast varied landscape, beautiful animals and streaming video of color-filled scenes you pass each day.

Vic Falls to Gorillas , February 2015
Timothy Rann
Take more time off work, go for the longer trips. If there was one thing to change it would have been to go all the way from Cape Town to the Gorillas.

CyberLink PowerDirector 14.0
Powerful multimedia video editing suite
- Trial version
- 8/10
- Editors
CyberLink PowerDirector is a complete video editing suite with which you can create professional looking videos by mixing all sorts of multimedia elements including videos, images, transition effects, clipart, text layers all with a custom background soundtrack.
Powerful but easy to use editing suite
CyberLink PowerDirector claims to be the fastest video editor around and while this is a bold claim, it does have a simplified, streamlined editing workflow which makes creating quality videos surprisingly easy. There are many templates to choose from which do much of the hard work and the rest is just a case of dragging and dropping footage as you please. It also includes a 3D Theme Designer that allows you to create 3D themes for your videos although some of these do look a bit cheap.
Other than that, CyberLink PowerDirector includes all of the necessary tools to get creative with your videos, from assisting you in with the very first step (capturing video from several different sources) to adding the final touches to your creation via a customizable DVD-style menu.
When you're done, CyberLink PowerDirector lets you save your video on your hard drive in different formats, publish it to YouTube, share it on Facebook or output it to a camcorder.
Most recently, CyberLink PowerDirector has been updated with enhanced 3D features and includes new ways to share creations with other Cyberlink users via Cyberlink's DirectorZone plus a few new 3D editing tools to complement to the 3D Theme Designer. If you want more effects, you can also download them from DirectorZone.
Drag and drop video timeline interface
The interface in CyberLink PowerDirector is divided into four main tabs (Capture, Edit, Produce and Create Disc), all of them pretty self-explanatory. The layout is that of a standard video editor with raw footage divided from the editing timeline below.
The editor in CyberLink PowerDirector includes all the essential video editing tools, with a library window to browse your media collection, a timeline to drag and drop elements and a preview window to check what your creation looks like when you put all the elements together.
The Theme Creator uses a wizard style system to help you create your own theme and is easy to follow although the results can look quite cheap.
A solid multimedia presentation suite
With CyberLink PowerDirector you can easily create multimedia presentations with video, photos and music. Whatever your presentation needs, Cyberlink PowerDirector is an excellent choice.
