Ethiopia<\/h3>\n

One of the most culturally captivating and fascinating countries in Africa has recently become more accessible to travelers. Ethiopia has opened new lodges in more accessible parts of the country.\u00a0 This will give you the chance to explore natural and cultural wonders, including its numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Of course, you’ll get time to relax at your hotel, whether it’s to stay in touch with your friends back home, catch up on your regular shows, or play games at your favourite casino online (Canada<\/a><\/u> casinos are accessible in many other countries). There is plenty of time for adventure, too, as you go in search of the Ethiopian wolf, and dive into the culture, savouring wild honey and coffee at the local markets. Then, travel through the Denakil Depression, where you can sit atop a camel while trekking across lakes of salt, climb Erta Ale, and view volcanoes as they light up the sky.<\/p>\n

\"Lemur<\/p>\n

Madagascar<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for somewhere to go that’s somewhat off the radar, then consider Madagascar. This hotbed of biodiversity is the perfect getaway for adventurers<\/a> and naturalists alike. Almost 80% of the wildlife is not to be found anywhere else on the planet. What most people don\u2019t know is that some of the Indian Ocean\u2019s finest beaches are here. Its most scenic coastal spot, Nosy Be, allows guests to spot lemurs and humpback whales on the shoreline. Miavana, found on the island\u2019s north-eastern coast, is a perfect if you are looking for a private escape. With just 14 private villas, spending time at this eco-lodge will have you feeling like you\u2019re staying in your own Robinson Crusoe haven. Explore the lush rain forests and watch turtles nest on the sand beaches.<\/p>\n
