Come and enjoy the enormous variety of culture and sights that this amazing place called Kenya has to offer. Although the western culture is leaving their marks due to the strong growth in tourism in Kenya, the cultural influences of more than 70 tribal groups in Kenya will always be present and making the country one of world’s most fascinating cultures.

There are many different tribal languages spoken within Kenya, but English and Swahili is spoken everywhere. You will be fine to communicate just in EKenyan culture travelnglish, but naturally Swahili will be useful outside the urban areas.

 Many things can be admired in Kenya. A typical national delicious dish of is called Ugali. It is a cornmeal mush that is cooked in water until reached a thicker substance, and then poured onto a board, served with vegetables for everyone to enjoy.

 Dancing and music is something you cannot escape from as the Kenyans love to party. The ruling traditional dance within Kenya is called benga, of which dances are performed in many place and very nice to watch. When it comes to modern styles you will find that there is strong growing popularity for Kenya’s Hip Hop music, something you probably do not associate the Kenyans with.

Naturally, what makes everyone come to this great land is the worldwide known wildlife of Kenya. I gained lifetime memories by visiting the wildlife at Masai Mara. The people and the views are extraordinary.  Naturally the Masai Village is a must, where you will find some of the tallest people you’ve seen at one place. But nothing beats the experience of seeing Elephants, Cheetahs, Warthogs, Giraffes, Lions, and many more face to face, in their natural environment. The landscape is enormous and the safari vibe gets to everyone. Never in your life will you be so overwhelmed by the safari thrill as in Kenya. The feeling of being at the centre of earth and truly one of world’s most beautiful experiences can be found in Kenya. Learn more about Kenya holiday apartments.

Prague is a musical city, and has been so since well before Mozart’s day, when he came and bequeathed the Bohemian capital not only his Prague Symphony (No 38) but also perhaps his most famous opera, Don Giovanni. Now instrumentalists can come together to play chamber music in the annual summer Ameropa festival which, since 1994, has presented concerts in some of the city’s beautiful venues.

Instrumentalists of a range of abilities come together on piano, strings, woodwinds, horn and marimba. Throughout the festival’s fortnight, participants work together towards public Prague eventsconcerts with both individual and group tutoring.

While participation for the fortnight may be pricey, to go to concerts on your night off are free (although for non-participatory audience members there is a charge). The concerts take place in a number of Prague‘s great venues, including the Klementinum (Hall of Mirrors), Museum of Czech Music, Sue Ryder Centre, the Rudolfinum’s Suk Hall and the Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia.

This year’s Ameropa festival is held between the 20th of July and the 3rd of August. For more information and the program visit: http://www.ameropa.org/. For vacation rentals for the Ameropa Holiday Velvet will be providing accommodation for the event.

Ibiza Uncovered did a good job illustrating just how bad San Antonio had become. Louts with football shirts, full of beer looking for a fight were all across our screens and the reputation of the fishing town that had been the gateway to this beautiful island was destroyed. However, time has a habit of eroding memories and San Antonio with the help it’s small group inhabitants and the Spanish Tourist Board is muscling it’s way back into the limelight. Hopefully with the new face lift and the modernising that’s been going on, San Antonio will now be able to compete with Ibiza Town as the most chic area on the island.

With the 1st 5* hotel in the offering, much needed work being done on the marina, a €3m sports complex with swimming pools, football pitches and cycling track and a new bus station under construction, San Ibiza travels in SpainAntonio has a new look and feel that should hopefully pull in the most die hard fans of Ibiza Town.

More exciting is the new promenade where Café del Mar, Savannah and Café Mambo are located that now links up Kasbah, Coastline and the Golden Buddha. This is a mile of land running alongside the beach full of bars and restaurants offering great cocktails and delicious food while you enjoy the fantastic sunset.

With the backing of the bars, beaches, plush agroturismos and boutique hotels, the council is now very keen to push the attributes of San Antonio to the world and entice the A-list back to it shores.
