Safaris today, more civilized than before, are treated in a photographic hunt in which we can surprise animals in their habitat, in the act. This type of issue which is the African cradle, it is the best option for travelers willing to adventure and wildlife lovers.  Safaris provide unforgettable images and connect us to the most dangerous and exciting nature.

Here are some tips for getting the most out of your trip.

Safari (which in Swahili means “journey”) has long been the word designated for the entire hunting party to be held in the territory of Africa. With the passing of time and as a means to achieve a more comprehensive tourist attraction, those days are transformed into visual expeditions, full of 21th century hunters ready to take the best shots or go home with a library of extreme and incredible scenes.

Today the options are many and varied: through wild landscapes, meet old gold route, sailing against the current, go mountains, deserts and huge parks.

The safaris can be done on board a vehicle, traditionally with jeeps and other types of motorized and mounted on native animals (such as camel caravans), early in the day, or sunset.

The members are camping safari to continue the journey the following day, although there are also upgraded options that include hotels and various amenities.

Things you should bring
Let’s start with the preparation:

1. Obviously you’ll need the best camera and / or video you can get.
2. Make sure you have enough rolls of film, in the case of analog or digital memories for.
3. The same goes for record: A good number of tapes, at least two days of issue. Remember that animals, being in its habitat models will become restless and you will require much patience and takes up several possibilities.
4. Bring enough batteries and chargers for your electronic equipment, and also have cell phone: an extra battery can be helpful to an emergency.
5. And binoculars, do not forget! There are places you can not reach your eyes and miss the most interesting details if you do not take a couple of these.

Attire
No need to imitate Crocodile Dundee: comfortable clothes for hiking and warm for the night, you’re done. So yes, it takes many silent, considering all possibilities. Shoes must be all-rounder. Light colors will prevent mosquitoes you get too excited.

Plan your trip so that is not given during the summer, as heat tends to be really overwhelming and can devalue your journey. The rain, although at first glance may seem hostile, it can bring new landscapes, and usually does not affect the daily routines of animals await your visit.

The trek puts you in direct contact with nature, walking paths through the mountains, next to a river or in the middle of a forest. It’s a long ride but fun. So before you get ready for the long walk, find out what to wear, what level of difficulty of your route and some safety measures to be quiet and go off to adventure.

The trekking is a long walk in a natural setting, usually away from civilization. The idea of trekking is to reach those places that can only be reached by foot, horseback or bicycle, and is a great effort is rewarded with a goal: a waterfall, an amazing panoramic view, a hidden lake. The sole purpose is to know that place the end of the trail.

Trekking is an activity that emerged from the mountain. The mountaineers, who climbed the Himalayas and peaks of great difficulty, must first reach the mountain base where they spent many days walking studying what the best way to go. The route up the mountain was a journey in itself and not all were able to go up, or were in a state to do so. Thus was born as a separate activity.

Although it usually takes more than one day, you can go hiking for a few hours. The difficulty varies depending on terrain. You can do trekking combined with other activities like horseback riding, biking or rappelling. The trekking is quite enough, but with its rules. Learn everything you need to know before trekking:

Difficulties
Most of the time the trek is done through trails, roads and valleys. Although the paths may be blurred, the most important challenge is the location of the path but the human effort required to reach the end of the road. In trekking there are 4 levels of difficulty and all walks properly marked to indicate what level correspond:

* Difficulty No. 1
Son walks free of small and large steep slopes. The paths are well defined and the end of the road tends to be a lookout. No experience is needed to make this trip. They are short and easy hike on good trails and a low altitude, with an appropriate infrastructure for walkers and good signage.

* Difficulty No. 2
It is an adventure, a little longer with some challenges in the road. The trail difficulty is still low, but may be at higher altitude (5,500 meters above sea level). The route has an infrastructure and appropriate signs. The highest mountains are already closely.

* Difficulty No. 3
It is a walk with a more ambitious path and steep, more than 5,500 meters. The road is seen in some sections can be blurred and difficult to follow the trail that at times crosses rivers and crosses or other difficulties. Mountaineering experience is required.

* Difficulty No. 4
It is a very difficult trek, where they are sometimes combined with hiking and climbing at altitudes higher than 5000 m and no infrastructure.
On High Mountain environment is, in uninhabited areas. You must have experience in mountaineering rope and appropriate equipment.

Who can trek
The type of people who can practice trekking varies with the level of difficulty of the trail. In a Level 1 trekking do not require fitness, but walkers must provide several hours of hiking with some uphill sections. Not recommended primarily for people with respiratory or heart problems and pregnant women.

Trekking Level 2 is required some physical training. Being a long journey that can last several days, the walker must have resistance. For trekking Level 3 and 4 is important to have previous experience and be in good physical condition.

A weighty matter
Note that the duration of the activity, you must carry a team for the night, feed, take shelter and water. When preparing the pack keep in mind that will bear the burden for hours. That’s why your team should be light. Take only the essentials.

The team
When hiking is only a few hours at a difficulty level 1, the computer is essentially a bottle of water, shelter (according to season and location) and refreshments. However, as we progress in difficulty, we will need more items. A hiking backpack is essentially complete 10 things you can not miss:

1. Food and water to withstand the days that the trip, providing extra precaution.
2. Mostly comfortable clothes, a raincoat and overcoat.
3. Flashlight or lantern.
4. First aid kit.
5. Fuel and elements to start a fire.
6. Matches.
7. Knife or knife.
8. Sunglasses and sunscreen.
9. Compass or GPS.
10. Updated the road map

Security
Many of the safety rules for hiking are based on having a little common sense. However, it is good to remember to avoid problems or accidents:

* Do not start any tour if you’re not sure you support the level of difficulty.
* Bring the right equipment. Even when they are in a difficult way, do not forget to bring water and a snack.
Alerts the rangers * for the difficulty of the path requires.
* Find out about dangerous animals in the area.
* Calculate the travel time, taking into account that the round trip may have a different duration depending on the slope of the trail.
* If the trek lasting several days and you can access natural water purifier is to avoid carrying extra weight during the entire trip.
* If this is your first time on a difficult trek, be sure to get an experienced guide.
* When the path is not well marked, turns your GPS or compass and map. Do not trust your intuition: is it safe.

Philosophy walker
Trekking is an experience that puts you in direct contact with nature. There is weakness and smallness of man before the imposing landscape. Only we can make these sites remain as they are. Care for the environment and follows the philosophy of LNT (Leave No Trace: Leave No Trace), who intends to take a conscious attitude while traveling, including keeping the waste to throw enabled sites and avoiding a fire in fire-prone areas.

Turkey is one of those destinations that have been chosen for a short vacation, a destination is usually quite affordable at the same time unknown, and provides for much more than a short vacation.

We can find many ruins of ancient temples, castles and fortresses of ancient settlements and remains of the walls of such cities or amphitheaters in the west of Turkey. Those who like archeology found here with the story at his feet. The area is very hot and dry, but once, in time of the Greeks was ancient port, now all dry.

We can travel from city to city with buses arriving and finding a place to sleep is not complicated, so that we can go a little adventure and explore the region without ties or problems.

One of the places to visit is the site of ancient Troy, which is only part of the wall, and you need an expert to distinguish the different layers of debris.

The Acropolis and strength in Bergamo (Pergamon), pyrene, Didymea, Ephesus … the list of places to visit is extensive, many of them only a pile of rocks and difficult to distinguish from other archaeological sites have fared better and are preserved and restored, but it is not usual. What we find in this part of Turkey is a journey through Greek and Roman culture.

In some places the sensation is of having made a journey through time as you can be in the same theater that did the Romans or walk down the same roads on which they went.

Sometime during the trip, we had to take a bus to take us to some secluded place, only bad thing about transportation here is that maybe we left somewhere for an afternoon while visiting the ruins we only was an hour and a half as much, which we had to wait long until the next bus to pass. Sometimes when this happened close to where we could find a service area or a cafe where old men played cards and drank tea … an opportunity to observe the locals. It is also common to find in stores these sites handmade carpets, in which we can pass the time.

Many times during these visits, we have found to be the only tourists in the place, and go on a bus full of locals we stopped anywhere, but the landscapes were great and you could see things like that here, the farmers still on mules and horses to their workplace.

In recent years Turkey has been sold as a popular tourist site and exotic, it is … but its charm can be found in other less crowded places and we will remember forever. It is a good opportunity if you enjoy visiting historical sites, you just have to prepare a little trip to organize and know the places to go, and otherwise find accommodation here without prior reservation is not usually a problem.

Getting ready for your first driving adventure is very exciting, and very intimidating. A basic overview for how to prepare for your first road trip will give you a nice checklist of things to consider before you go, making you feel safer and more prepared before you take off.

Make sure you have a small box of safety supplies in case of any emergencies. This should include a first aid kit, flashlight, important phone numbers, water, some non perishable food, and maybe an extra battery for your cell phone.

Unless you’re fairly mechanical, have your car looked over before you go. Let them know you’ll be putting a lot of miles on the vehicle soon and have them check your fluids, your tires, and your spare tire for you. This can save you a lot of headaches later.

Consider signing up for roadside assistance, possibly with your current insurance carrier. If you get a flat tire or your car breaks down they’ll come out to where you are and give you a tow. The fee you pay for this service will be much less than what you’re likely to pay for a tow, especially if you’re stranded out in a rural area.

Make sure you have plenty of music. The stuff you listen to on a regular basis will get old fairly quickly, so bring lots of new things, too. To mix things up I also like to bring some CDs with stand up comedy, or maybe a book on tape.

Getting lost can be a fun way to find new things (if you want to look on the positive side) but so can finding new things on the maps on your GPS. A good system will make finding where you want to go easier–even when you don’t know exactly where that is. For instance, if you’re low on gas, you can just put in “gas station”, or “hospital”, or other important locations you’ll need to get to quickly. Say while you’re on your trip you want to avoid highways? You can put that in as well. A good system can come in very handy and take the frustration out of navigating unfamiliar areas.

With all this in check you should be ready to go, prepared for your first road trip.
