Experiencing Your Ultimate Destination – What Are Your Choices?
Exploring the world is a truly enriching experience and is an adventure more and more of us seem to be embarking upon, and with so many wonderful countries to enjoy it’s easy to see why. For the first time traveller, it’s easy to get lost in ways to explore your chosen travel destinations, and sometimes incredible ways to experience other countries can be overlooked. Before you set off on your travels, here are a few alternative ways to experience your ultimate destination that will allow you to set your own pace and enjoy your travels further.
Safari
What better way to experience the flora and fauna of a country than a safari? Safaris offer fantastic opportunities to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and get back to nature, experiencing truly incredible scenery and some of the most impressive creatures on earth in their natural habitat. Safaris typically consist of a tour guide, meals, accommodation and game viewing, which means you won’t have to worry about mounting costs as everything is included in the total price. A safari doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune to spend time enjoying this untamed habitat, and there are plenty of lower-priced safaris which will allow you to enjoy your trip at a fraction of the price.
Road Trip
Coach trips, though cheap, are often a cramped and stuffy method of travel, but there are other ways for you to create your own road trip story. If you’re the owner of a clean driving license then hiring a car abroad poses the perfect opportunity to travel and experience your ultimate destination by road. If you’re part of a group then the necessary costs such as fuel or rental fees can be split, which is perfect for those wanting to travel on a budget. Driving across a country allows you to take in the sights and culture at your own pace, stopping and starting as you please and visiting a great deal more than you might by coach, plane or train.
Hiking Trip
Although the idea of a hiking holiday may be some people’s idea of hell, there really is no better way to get a true feel for a country than to experience it on foot. It might be one of the more challenging methods of exploring a country and perhaps not something that is recommended if you have very young children, but it certainly offers up a wealth of opportunities you’re not likely to encounter when travelling by other methods of transport. From hiking and camping to hiking and hostelling, there are a range of options available which will allow you to meet and engage with like minded people, take your trip at your own pace and enjoy inspiring surroundings along the way.
Cruise
In a world with water covering around 70% of its surface, there is so much of the globe that can only be experienced by boat alone. Cruises present you with a chance to see the world at a relaxed pace and from a different perspective from the one you have on land. Whether you wish to take the time to visit the Norwegians Fjords and glaciers, have dinner overlooking the Nile or bask in warmer climates in Bermuda, there is an abundance of stunning locations for you to enjoy. A cruise includes everything from day trips and entertainment to food and drink and accommodation, meaning you’ll never go over budget either!
