National Bargain Hunting Week 2024. National Bargain Hunting Week Giveaway! One lucky bargain hunter will

July-September is Peak tourist season in Tanzania so more expensive.

There are 2 rainy seasons in Tanzania short rains Nov-Dec and long rains March-May. This is not the good time for Safaris as the grass is tall and animals are in hiding. This is also the summer in Tanzania. Good season starts towards end of May so you could get the best combination of prices and animal viewing in June.

There are over a dozen National Parks in Tanzania each famous for different Animals, some well known others very pristine and wild. There are several game reserves where controlled hunting is still permitted.

2 weeks is an ideal period to explore Tanzania. It takes about 4-5 days to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro followed by the most famous North Circuit (3-10 days) comprising of Arusha Snake Park, Lake Manyara National Park (tree climbing Lions), Tarangire National Park (Elephants), Ngorongoro Crater (undoubtedly the best in the world for its veriety of ecosystems) and Serengeti National Park (with a high concentration of all animals). All these are in one streight East west Line so you could fly in directly to Kilimanjaro International Airport from Amsterdam, keep driving west and come out to Mwanza, on Lake Victoria.

The less known parks are Mt. Mahale on L. Tanganika for Primates, no vehicles, only walking safaris and access by boat from Kigoma - drive from Mwanza and nearby Katavi National Park.

The Southern Circuit is much more wild and pristine consisting of Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park and the biggest and most unexplored of all - The Selous National Park. About 8-10 hrs drive from Dar-es-Salaam.

Other additional add ons could be 2-3 day trek to nearby Active Volcano from Ngrorongoro crater; Baloon safari in Serengeti; Train journey through Northern Selous; Great beaches and old stone town of Zanzibar the center of Slave trade accessible by a 15min flight from Dar-es-Salaam or through 1 hr cruise.

Typical park fees are $30-50 /pp for ea 24 hrs and typical accommodation choices in most parks range from star hotels, to tented camps to camping sites and vary from the range of $200-500 /pp per night full board in star hotels to $30-50/night for camping sites. Vehicles with giude come in range of $120-250/day depending on season.

Almost all national parks have an airport with customs and immigration office but only accessible to small chartered flights

Ideally local travel agents would offer a better bargain. I could give you the contacts of about half a dozen reliable ones and you could shop around.

Attractions in Jerusalem(israel)?

I'm going to Melbourne in November and want to find discount atraction vouchers.?

If you are wanting to go to a show, you should go to Burke St Mall, and go to the Half Tix kiosk where you can get big discounts on tickets for the theatres.

There's a lot of free stuff in Melbourne too, and I think the museum in exhibition st has some days in the school hols where it is free entry for kids and those with kids. It is a fabulous museum, lots of interesting stuff for all the family. Might be worth calling them.

Also, ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) has some paying shows, some bits are free, and they are usually quite interesting things for kids too.

The permanent collection at the National Gallery in St Kilda Rd is worth a look at, and I am pretty sure that part of the gallery is free too - lots of ancient artifacts, lovely pictures, pottery, amazing things to see, all free.

There is a free tram that does a sort of circle thing in the middle of the city, makes it easy to get around. You catch it in Flinders St, near the station. They are the old time red rattlers, lots of fun.

If you want to do a bit of bargain hunting, get off the tram at the Docklands shopping area. Lots of factory outlet type places there.

If you want a really good cheap and cheerful meal, go to Your Thai in Swanston St, on LH side as you walk up hill, just before you get to the junction with Lonsdale St. You will get top quality Thai meal for around $7 or $8. Really, really, good.

If you want the best Italian, get on a tram up Swanston St to the university, get off at uni, walk across Faraday St until you get to Lygon St, turn left, and go just around the corner into Lygon St, and go in the corner door of Ti Amo. It is the best pasta in Melbourne, and not expensive either. If you want dessert while up there, cross the road from Ti Amo, walk back up the street a few yards back to Faraday St, turn left, and go into Brunetti's. Sweets to die for. Or you could just have an Italian Chocolate to drink instead. Mmm. Mmm. You've got me going now. Brunettis also have another place in Swanston St, a sort of kiosk thing somewhere near a sort of square near the crossing with, I think Little Collins, or perhaps it's Flinders Lane?

Have fun.
