Why you need to Travel Oman ASAP 10 Reasons + 1 Video Published November 2016 So, I’m not the biggest fan of top ten lists but I’m guessing Oman isn’t completely saturated with them yet or in fact, Oman travel videos by the looks of it. I’ll keep my stories of goat attacks, burst tyres, random party invites, accidentally breaking into airports and exploding gas canisters for next time… If anyone is wondering why Oman is on the Lonely Planet Best in Travel list for 2017 I’m hoping this Oman Tavel Video will answer that question. If not, the ten reasons to visit Oman below should be enough to have you booking a ticket. Still not convinced? There is no hope for you :P FYI – This Oman travel video only covers the north of the country, the peninsula and south are already on my ‘go back to’ plans for next year. Also, sorry for the creepy Goat… Oman Travel Video, The Three Minute Guide… 1. Lonely Planet ...

On Safari in Sri Lanka Responsible Tourism | Sri Lanka Travel Guide Updated: September 2016 A safari in Sri Lanka is sure to be a highlight of your trip if, like me, you are a complete animal lover. From the Ceylon Jungelfowl (the national bird) right through to the beautiful and gigantic Elephants, the amount of wildlife to be discovered on this relatively small island is impressive. With monkeys playing around in roads, chipmunks jumping about and huge lizards crossing the streets you are spoilt before evening setting foot into one of the many national parks. Elephants, Leopards and Peacocks are among the offerings a safari in Sri Lanka can delight you with although each national park is famous for it’s different animal inmates. My journey took me to Minneriya, which is easily visited and arranged from popular tourist spots Polonnaruwa or Sigiriya. An early start is your best bet to ensure you are not fighting through jeeps to get a front row seat of these magnific...
