Désagréments et dangers sur les plages de Varadero

Comme tout un chacun nous voulons réussir nos vacances, qui cristallisent une année de travail.

Nous irons au TryP Peninsula Varadero : est ce un bon choix seul notre séjour le dira.

Mais ce qui me chagrine lorsque je lis le Lonely Planet, c’est que cet Hôtel est sur la Playa Las Calaveras. Que dit –on de cette plage sur le guide :

« La plage de Las Calaveras est une plage de 800 mètre qui accueille des cabines de massages et des stands de boissons. »

Ceux et celles qui veulent se faire un massage relaxant vont je suppose à l’hôtel, Ce Tryp Peninsula Varadero est un tout compris ; donc je me demande si les plages sont surs, et s’il y a possibilité de se promener le soir sans être déranger eu égard à l’environnement.

Merci de vos renseignements

Bonjour.

Voici ce que me propose de découvrir une agence indienne pour 13 jours passés dans la région du KERALA:

"SVP dit moi d'aborde si vous pensez attiserez a COCHIN et repartire de TRIVANDRUM pour faire un traject comme un boucle sans faire la meme route 2 fois.Par example COCHIN/ALEPPY/PERIYAR/MUNNAR/MADURAI/CAPECOMORIN/PADMANABAPURAM PALACE/ISOLO DI COCO o ESTUARY ISLAND et DEPARRT de TRIVANDRUM.

Est il avantageux de repartir de l'aéroport de TRIVANDRUM? Celui ci est il bien desservi...? Le circuit vous parait il intéressant...?

Merci.

Merci

Bonjour a tous! Si j'écris aujourd'hui c'est car je suis en proie à un serieux dilemme.. En effet, je dois partir travailler comme saisonniere des le mois de mars et on me donne le choix entre la sicile et la turquie, je ne connais aucun de ces 2 pays et mon attention s'est tout de suite portée sur la Turquie. J'ai seulement un doute aujourd'hui à cause des evenements récents qui se passent dans les pays limitrophes. En effet, les guerres, les religions rendent aujourd'hui mon choix un peu plus difficile, je ne souhaite pas prendre de risque en partant pour plusieurs mois dans un pays ou tout est incertain et où il y a des risques a mettre les pieds en dehors du complexe dans lequel je travaillerai. Je souhaitais donc me renseigner aupres de gens partis recemment en turquie, vivant en turquie ou connaissant relativement bien ce pays et l'ambiance actuelle de ce qui me semble etre un pays magnifique. J'espere que vous pourrez m'aidez!

bonjour bonjour! je suis fan de Bollywood, ces films indiens qui durent au minimum 3 heures et qui sont tout en musique, couleurs, danses, chants... je n'en connais pas beaucoup mais si vous avez quelques bons titres à me proposer pour que je puisse continuer à écarquiller les yeux devant mon poste de télé, ça serait super sympa! merci a tous (ttes)!

Bonjour !

je me pose pas mal de question sur les parcours en jungle en Malaisie .. y'a t-il des risques ? faut-il se vacciner ? y'a t il des choses à voir ou non ? sachant que les sansgues me rebutent et que je préfère en voir un maximum mais sans me payer les piqures de guepes ou de moustiques... :)))

est ce que çà vaut le coup de faire un trek ou une journée seulement ds la jungle ? dans quelle jungle aller ? (bornéo ?! )

Merci pour vos récits aventureux et vos conseils :)

Bonjour à tous,

Je voyage actuellement en Asie (Inde, Nepal, Thailande, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodge).

La fin de mon voyage approche et pour mon dernier mois , je pensais à aller en Afrique (environ du 10 juin au 30juin)

Quel pays me conseillerez vous pour un premier voyage en Afrique ?

Je recherche un pays sûre, pouvant vivre à petit budget.

Merci pour tout conseils que vous pourriez me donner !

Bonjour à tous,

Quelques uns des spécialistes du coin pourraient-ils réactualiser les infos sur le trajet entre Maun et Kasane par la piste, donc via Savuti ? Combien de temps ? est-ce déraisonnable tout seul ? peut-on camper au milieu (4x4 Toyota HiLux 3.0D avec tentes sur toit) ? si oui, faut-il réserver (je suis en train de monter mon projet pour...octobre 2009)? faut-il un GPS ?est-ce intéressant au niveau faune et flore, ou bien est-ce une bonne grosse séquence 4x4 pure et dure dans le sable profond ? Il doit m'échapper quelques questions...

Merci d'avance à tous !

Hello,

After several years, I’ve finally decided to repost a travel journal on the forum. We returned a few weeks ago from an incredible trip to Kenya, and it’s reignited my desire to share our emotions in the face of these animals.

Kenya wasn’t originally a priority for us in terms of safari—we had the impression it was too touristy. So, we started with other destinations: Namibia, Tanzania, Botswana, and South Africa. But as I did more research, especially on the forum (thanks in part to Sylvie’s many trips), I eventually convinced myself that Kenya could be magnificent, as long as we chose our itinerary carefully and avoided peak seasons.

We ended up going in January, from the 17th to the 31st. We worked with a travel agency (TP) that crafted a custom itinerary for us: Samburu-Ol Pejeta-Naivasha-Maji Moto-Maasai Mara-Diani. They partnered with a local French-speaking agency, and everything was perfectly organized. Our trip exceeded all our expectations, and none of it would’ve been as amazing without our guide, Alfred. He accompanied us for 10 days and was a fantastic travel companion—professional, respectful of the animals, and always in good spirits. We formed a great bond with him in such a short time.

- **January 17th** After meeting up with Juliette and Charlotte in Rennes the night before, we left at 4 AM for Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport. The thick fog made the drive pretty rough, but we arrived safely around 7:45 AM. A Blue Valet driver was waiting to take our car. Check-in went smoothly, and we waited patiently for our 10:40 AM flight. Unfortunately, despite boarding on time, a passenger was missing, and we had to find a replacement last minute. Then, another passenger who had checked in and dropped off their luggage wasn’t on the plane, so they had to unload their bags. After a long period of uncertainty and spotty communication from the crew, we finally took off over an hour late.

We arrived in Nairobi in the late afternoon, 45 minutes behind schedule. The administrative formalities were endless—it took nearly 1.5 hours from landing to leaving the airport with our luggage. When we stepped out, Alfred, our guide, was waiting with a big smile and drove us to the Eka Hotel, not far from the airport. Exhausted from the long journey, we fell asleep quickly.

- **January 18th** Alfred met us at 7 AM for a long drive to Samburu Reserve. We had a peaceful night, unlike the girls, who barely slept because their neighbors were talking loudly all night. Things even escalated when Charlotte started shouting insults to get them to quiet down, but it didn’t work.

It was Sunday, so traffic around Nairobi and along the route was light. Aside from a quick "technical stop," we drove straight through and arrived in Samburu after just under 6 hours. Because of the lower altitude (around 1,000m on average), it was hot—over 30°C in mid-January.

As soon as we entered the reserve, we spotted some impalas and quickly came across one of the region’s endemic species: the reticulated giraffe, which is absolutely stunning.



While heading to our camp for lunch, Alfred crossed paths with another vehicle and learned that a leopard was nearby. We started searching, and a few minutes later, Anny spotted a shape in a tree—it was our leopard!





There were actually two of them—a mother and her adolescent. The young one was perched high in the tree, in the shade. We got to observe them for a good half-hour in excellent conditions, with just one other vehicle nearby.





Alfred also noticed that the mother had hidden prey (a gerenuk gazelle) in the vegetation, away from prying eyes.

It was time to head to our camp, the Ashnil Samburu Camp, located in the Buffalo Springs area, by the river, in an idyllic setting surrounded by the region’s typical vegetation.





The welcome was fantastic—we immediately felt at home, and that feeling lasted throughout our 3-day stay in the reserve. It was 2 PM, but no one rushed us to the table. Our waitress, Sheila, who took care of us the whole time, was as lovely as the rest of the team. Barely seated, we were invited to watch an elephant passing right by the camp, in front of the restaurant. This trip was off to a great start!

After lunch, we relaxed by the pool. Monkeys, especially vervets, were everywhere, and a camp employee was assigned to keep an eye on them and shoo them away if needed (especially the baboons).

A little before 4 PM, we met up with Alfred for our first game drive. Just outside the camp, a few elephants were in the valley near the river.





We’d see them in the same area almost every day. We also spotted some gazelles.

Good evening, As two senior French couples who are used to traveling independently all over the world, we’d like to visit Kenya next November. Now, after seeing and reading a bit everywhere, and with the first quotes for a 6/7-day safari, I’m shocked by the prices (like $2,250) for places like Maasai Mara, where entry alone costs $200 per person per day, plus fees for the driver and vehicle. So if you have any recent great tips or contacts to share to help me out, I’d really appreciate it—because despite the costs, we’d still love to go, while keeping things reasonable. The most plausible solution is probably renting a vehicle with a driver-guide. Thanks in advance for all your replies. Jacques

Hi there, I’m heading to Kenya in July 2026. I’d like to travel from Nairobi to Mombasa in 5/6 days, passing through Amboseli, Tsavo West and East, and Taita Hills. Unfortunately, I can’t find any group tours for this itinerary—only private options, which makes the prices skyrocket for camping accommodations. I’m realizing it might actually be cheaper to rent an SUV from Hertz and stay in much more luxurious lodges on my own! My partner drove for a month from Cape Town to Johannesburg, so left-hand driving doesn’t scare him, but I’ve seen a lot of warnings about chaotic traffic... Has anyone tried this? And what about safety (fake police checks, carjacking, etc.)? Alternatively, should I take the train and book directly with the lodges? But I’m worried about wasting too much time. Thanks for your help! Gaëlle

Hello to all East Africa lovers and nature enthusiasts in general,

While I prepare to share a recap of our latest trip/safari in Kenya soon, I’d like to wish you all a peaceful transition between 2025 and 2026.

Warm regards,

Hello fellow adventurers,

After many self-drive trips in South Africa and 30 days in Namibia last April with a rooftop tent, I’m planning a relaxed 15-day trip to Kenya in a simple 4x4 (like a Rav4) without a tent. The goal is to visit Amboseli and Tsavo East and West parks in January. I’ve read about the differences in climate, vegetation, and wildlife between the two Tsavo parks... We’re thinking of spending one week in the parks and ending with 5-6 days on the coast. I have a few questions about the reserves and the 4x4, and I’d love any tips or observations: - January is the dry season: Is a simple 4x4 enough? - Since we’ll end near Mombasa, is it a good financial and tourist plan to rent the 4x4 only until Mombasa and then take the train back to Nairobi at the end of the trip? - What’s the general condition of the roads, and are there any to avoid? - I read that in Tsavo East, only the Galana River still has water in January. Is it a good idea to enter through Maniant Gate and take the road along the river south, or is it better to head north on the tracks? - Is it better to look for lodging inside the parks, or are there long queues at the park entrances in the morning during this season? - I also saw two reserves around Mount Kenya that look nice. How much time should we plan to visit them, or is it better to focus on Tsavo? What’s holding me back a bit is that the entrance fees have skyrocketed: $80/day/person!! Anyway, if you have any thoughts or ideas, I’d love to hear them to help with my planning!

Hello,

In 1985, the film "Out of Africa" was released, which inspired me to visit Kenya for the first time a year later. My passion for animals in their wild and natural habitat, and thus for safaris, was born while watching this film and appreciating Robert REDFORD’s acting.

Of course, the film’s director and Meryl STREEP also contributed greatly to this wonderful movie.....

In a way, I owe him this passion, and I thank him for it. Sometimes, during safaris, when we had our breakfasts in the middle of nature, in one reserve or another in Kenya or Tanzania, I often thought of him.

May he rest in peace, far from our world of madness. Thank you for EVERYTHING, Mr. REDFORD.

( In three weeks in Kenya, I think I’ll often be thinking of him....... )

I just realized there’s only one payment method accepted for booking the Mombasa-Nairobi express train ticket online: M-Pesa, a mobile money transfer service used in Africa. Would it be impossible to book as a European?
