Let's talk waterfalls. There’s something awe-inspiring about the natural phenomena of thundering, plummeting water making rainbows in the spray. For millennia, waterfalls have been cultural landmarks, honoured and revered for their power and majesty. Here are just some of our favourite falls from around the world...

- Victoria Falls, straddling the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Known as one of the largest, most incredible waterfalls in the world, local villagers call it ""Mosi-oa-Tunya,"" which means ""The Smoke That Thunders"" in the Lozi language.
- Gulfoss, Iceland. One of Iceland's most iconic sights and important spot on the renowned 'Golden Circle Route', Gulfoss Falls are immensely powerful - an epic example of Iceland's untamed and rugged natural beauty.
- Angel Falls, Venezuela. A storybook scene and challenging to get to, Angel has the highest falls in the world with a drop of around 807 metres! The falls erupt from the mystical Auyán-Tepuí mountain in the deep heart of Canaima National Park.

Marine life safaris can be just as breathtaking as those on land - from spotting whales and dolphins from the deck of a boat, to diving among impressive coral reefs. Here are some of the best spots for marine wildlife encounters...

Norway - Not the first destination to come to mind, but the coldwater experience in Norway really delivers. With crystal-clear ocean and stunning underwater landscapes such as dramatic fjords, kelp forests, and pristine coral reefs, divers can encounter Arctic marine life such as orcas, humpback whales and wolf fish.

Mexico - Diving in Mexico is simply glorious. The sunlit cenotes of the Yucutun Peninsula make for spectacular diving opportunities, full of freshwater species and limestone formations; while the diving around the Sea of Cortez brings whale sharks, marine turtles and mobula rays.

South Africa - One of the best places to spot great white sharks. If you dare, go cage diving with these misunderstood apex predators and see them closer than you'd ever imagine - most popular in Gansbaai and Mossel Bay.

Start planning your under-the-sea dreams, with our latest blog post on the Best Places for Marine Wildlife Experiences: https://www.travellocal.com/en/articles/the-worlds-best-dives-for-marine-wildlife-encounters

One of the main draws of a wildlife trip is not only witnessing spectacular flora and fauna up close, but practising our photography skills to get that perfect shot in the wild. If you're a keen photographer, here are three of our favourite places to take the camera...

- Rwanda. The landscapes in this jewel of East Africa are simply breathtaking and so underrated. The 'Land of a Thousand Hills' encompasses lush forests, rolling hills, volcanic mountains, and serene lakes. Of course, it's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest that is most memorable - home to majestic mountain gorillas that roam the hillsides. On a trip to Rwanda, you can get so close to the gorillas that a fantastic shot is almost guaranteed.

- The Azores. Portugal's remote archipelago is truly unique, with several volcanoes and lush, verdant landscapes awash with forests and waterfalls. It's an excellent place to capture breaching marine life, as this location, 850 miles (1,360 km) out to sea sees s***m whales, bottle-nosed dolphins and loggerhead turtles as they pass by on migratory routes.

- Madagascar. An island nation of fascinating endemic flora and fauna, including the distinctive baobab tree, Madagascar is a photographer's dream. Photographic pursuits could focus on the famously Madagascan ring-tailed lemur (often seen in Isalo National Park and Berenty Reserve), as well as chameleons and eagles.

You may have heard the phrase 'tailor-made travel' being thrown around a lot these days - but what exactly does it mean? In our latest article, we break down the definition and discuss why planning a tailor-made tour is simply the best way to take a holiday. Here's a glimpse of the many benefits -

- Someone else does the planning. Planning a trip is time-intensive, and sometimes confusing. A tailor-made travel service can do the hard work for you, as they'll co-create a customized travel itinerary that's built on your vision and their expert knowledge.
- Prioritise what matters to you. This kind of customized travel is for those who want to get to know a destination more deeply. With the help of a local expert, you can step beyond the tourist trail and explore lesser-known corners, perhaps prioritise unique homestays or eco-experiences. In short, going tailor-made will bring your specific wants to life.
- Enjoy 24/7 support. If there are any hiccups or unforeseen circumstances, there will be someone on hand with the local knowledge and language to get things ironed out and back on track.

Responsible travel is our 'raison d'etre' at TravelLocal - we're always learning more about how sustainable choices can create positive impacts on the environment, local people, and economies. Here are just some of the benefits of travelling with sustainability in mind...

- Empower local communities. By staying in locally-owned accommodation, dining at local eateries and using independently-owned businesses, you support local people's cultural heritage and way of life. It also enriches your own travel experience.
- Protect wildlife. Making thoughtful choices for animal-based activities all contributes to their continued protection, allowing them to thrive in their wild, natural habitats.
- Combat overtourism. We get it - there are some travel scenarios where you can't avoid the crowds. But by balancing these with visits to unknown locations and seeking out new experiences, you can fight against the culturally corrosive effects of overtourism.

The summer has us basking in longer days and (usually) warmer temperatures, but when the seasons change, what trips do you have planned to extend those vacation vibes? Here are just a handful of our favourite destinations for a fall getaway...

Devon, UK - For an English trip with a difference, get to the south-western countryside. In the autumn months, the mist on the moors feels delightfully Agatha Christie, the turning colours of the forests are truly scenic, and there's nothing like winding down a day of hiking in a local pub with an open fire.

Japan - Japan's gorgeous spring sakura brings prime tourist season, but not as many travellers consider 'Momiji' - the period between September and November, when autumn colours reign supreme. Parks are covered with fiery foliage, particularly stunning in Kyoto and the Kansai region, while Nihonmatsu Lantern Festival in Fukushima is incredibly atmospheric.

Portugal - Portugal is beautiful in the fall. The scorching summer dissipates into cooler, still-warm temperatures, the rains of winter have yet to arrive, and crowds are vibrant and manageable. Immerse yourself in cultural festivals like São Martinho and drink wine at the Douro Valley; or enjoy an authentic pastal de nata at a Lisbon coffee table, with an inviting autumn breeze.

16/07/2024

Self-confessed culture vulture? You'll love our curated collection of scintillating tours that span some of our most culturally rich destinations. Here is just a sample of what's in store...

- Cultural Heart of Japan. What better place than Japan to wrap yourself in endless culture. This tour covers the archetypal highlights of Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara, with a side of ancient heritage in traditional Takayama, the historic centre Hakone, and Kanazawa, the former capital.

- Colombia Architecture & Culture Discovery. Unpack the endlessly magical heritage of this South American gem through its villages, architecture and arts. Explore the sights of the capital Bogota, the historic city of Cartagena and a glut of archaeological sites, as well as hidden villages full of history and charm.

There's absolutely nothing like going on safari to spot animals you've never seen in the wild before, and you'll want to make the most of your experience. Here are 3 top tips for before you book...

- Which animals do you most want to see? Lions, hippos, jaguars? This will influence not only which destinations and national parks you'll want to prioritise, but what time of year you should go for the best chance of seeing them.

- Peak seasons. As above, the season will dictate the terrain and which animals are most visible. For instance, between June and October is the dry season in lots of African destinations, meaning more wildlife will gather at waterholes.

- Don't pack too much in. Sometimes, the best wildlife viewing comes because you've taken the time to let the animals come to you. Rushing through everything will only prove stressful when the time comes.
