Mozambique is an excellent nation to go on safari – at fraction of the cost in Kenya. Just now returning to the world exploration stage, after 35 years of war, Mozambique is a country where one can travel independently without fear of running into a large tour bus group. The Tete Highlands and the Lebomo Mountains are fascinating.

Long Lost Laos was cut off from the world for nearly 20 years after the Communist occupations. The country had never changed much before that – a great advantage if one is looking for the Old Southeast Asia – much like Thailand might have been 40 years ago. Jungles, mountains, Holy villages, the limestone forest of Khammouane and caves such as Xe Bang Fai are all part of Laotian Adventure.
