We’ve got sun, sea and sand in buckets and spades, but there are countless ways to enjoy the coast with a difference. Steady your balance on a surfboard in Sri Lanka, hike coastal cliffs in South Africa or take a dip to see marine life in Madagascar.	

Sri Lanka has a resident whale community off the coast of Mirissa where the continental shelf is close to the shore

Foreign Office travel advice for Colombia

La Candelaria, Bogota
This is the district of Bogotá that will stick in your memory and drain the memory card in your camera, as it is historically significant, architecturally attractive and full of interesting shops and cafes. La Candelaria is the oldest part of Bogotá, crammed with cobbled lanes and pretty churches but also laying claim to some of the most important events in Colombia’s history, for example the execution of Policarpa Salavarrieta, a revolutionary heroine. There are several museums, theatres and pedestrianised areas, and the vibrant nightlife is due in part to the students who frequent the neighbourhood. Many of the buildings display elements typical of the Spanish Colonial period, and there are also examples of baroque style and art deco. One of the major plazas in the district is Plaza Bolivar, which is the historical heart of La Candelaria, home to a cathedral and a statue of Simon Bolivar, a military leader who was the key architect of the revolution which led to the independence of several Latin American nations.

Road trips are about so much more than getting from A to B. Slow down and watch fjords trace paths between the plains in Norway, crystal lakes make way for crooked peaks in Argentina, or stalactites clinging to cave walls in South Africa along, with plenty of culture-filled pit stops along the way.

The road from Tromsø via Sommarøy and Senja to Å in Lofoten is one of the most picturesque drives in all of Norway

People often talk about ‘The Big Five’, but there are far more than 5 reasons to go on safari holiday. Our local partners know the right footsteps to follow, so as well as supporting local businesses, you’ve got the best chance of seeing the world’s most incredible animals in their natural habitats.

The low season can be the best time for safari because the animals come out to only one or two watering holes

Wahiba Sands
The old Bedouin way of life has largely been left behind as Bedouin understandably choose to swap camels for 4x4 vehicles and the harsh desert existence for the convenience of modern life. However, The desert known as Wahiba sands is a large expanse of rolling dunes where some Bedouin are still eking out an existence in the wilderness. Many have abandoned the nomadic lifestyle in favour of more permanent camps, but to see Bedouin families carrying out their daily work, you could do worse than visit the oasis at Al Huwayah in the summer months of June to September, when the Wahiba Bedouin, for whom the sands are named, return to the oasis to harvest dates and enjoy the relative cool of the shady plantations with their livestock. For a fascinating account of Bedouin life in the 1940s, read Wilfred Thesiger’s book Arabian Sands, describing his two crossings of the desert under incredibly difficult pressures from the environment, his long-suffering hosts, and even death threats. A brilliant and evocative read.
