Bonjour,

Durant mon tour du monde, mes parents vont me rejoindre en Chine à Xi'an. Nous avons prévu de visiter Xi'an, aller au mont Hua Shan, puis enfin visiter Pékin, tout cela en 10 à 12 jours. Ce sera la 1ère fois que mes parents visiterons la Chine.

Est-ce que d'après vous, on n'aura pas trop de temps pour faire ce qui est prévu pour l'instant ?

Sachant qu'ils ne viennent que pour une courte durée, ne faudrait il pas un peu plus panacher entre ville et campagne pour qu'ils aient un aperçu de la Chine un peu plus large ?

De plus, je réalise qu'ils ne verront que des villes. N'y aurait-il pas un beau village ou un beau site "rural" à visiter, facilement accessible depuis Xi'an ou Pékin, ou entre Xi'an et Pékin ?

Toutes vos suggestions seront les bienvenues ! 🙂.

Bonjour à tous, Je pars en corse pour une semaine et je voulais avoir des idées d'itinéraires qui permettent à la fois de voir du pays mais aussi de faire des activités telque nautiques randos, etc, alors à vos carnets de voyages en vous remerciant, Bon vent!!! 😉

Bonjour à toutes et à tous.

Ma copine et moi partons en Indonésie d'ici 15 jours pour un séjour de 3 semaines (Java + Bali).

Nous avons +/- programmé notre itinéraire: Arrivée Jakarta ->Bandung -> Pagandaran ->Yogyakarta -> Mont Bromo -> Bali.

Toutefois, il reste quelques interrogations :

1/Vaut-il mieux dormir à Jakarta ou à Bandung le 1er soir ? (Notre avion arrive à 18H)

2/Comment se rendre au Mont Bromo sans passer par Probolinggo ? (Ville à éviter parait-il)

3/Peut-on prendre facilement l'avion de Denpasar à Jakarta ? Combien cela coute-t-il ?

4/Peut on payer partout en €uro ?

5/Existe-t-il encore des endroits non toutistiques sur Bali ?

Merci d'avance à tous ceux qui pourraient nous aiguiller sur ces quelques questions et sur d'autres encore ( Bons plans de Guest House, coins sympas à visiter.....)

Bonjour,

Je pars cet été en Namibie, Botswana et Zimbabwe. 1) Comme beaucoup, je me suis acheté un appareil photo numérique. Je me demande si en Namibie, dans les campings, il y a possibilité de recharger les batteries de ce type d'appareil.

Si vous avez une expérience dans ce domaine, je suis intéressé!

2) Concernant les petites bébettes doit-on prendre des pércautions particulières (je pense aux serpents, araignées...).

Merci

Bonjour

je souhaiterai aller à Venise et j'aimerai savoir si fin aout c'est enviseageable, s'il n'y a pas trop de monde, en bref queelle serait la meilleure periode pour y aller merci a bientôt

Salut!

J'aurai besoin de bons conseils pour un voyage d'un mois en Afrique du Sud et au Zwimbabwe.

L'itinéraire serait le suivant: arrivée à Johannesburg puis visite du Parc Kruger, puis Zimbabwe pour voir les chutes Victoria, puis retour en Afrique du Sud pour rejoindre le Cap en passant par l'intérieur des terres (upington pa exemple).

Mes questions sont multiples: tout d'abord le temps, a votre avis, un mois est ce bien suffisant pour faire tout cela et si oui à quel rythme? Qu'est ce qui est le mieux pour aller au Zimbabwe (voiture de location, blue train, bus...), est-ce que ca vaut le coup de loue une voiture pour tout ce périple (Zimbabwe inclus) et si oui à qui louer??

Est-ce que ca peut valoir le coup de faire une escapade au Bostwana (delta de l'okavongo notamment) pour revenir du Zimbabwe vers Cape town?

Merci de me donner des conseils et bon voyage à tous!!!

Bonjour à tous, d'abord quelques livres sur les femmes en Inde :

"L'histoire de ma vie" Kamala Das, edi.Kailash

"qui nous raconte sa vie, avec pudeur et dignité, son mariage arrangé, sa famille, etc."

"A l'ombre du haveli" Rama Metha, edit. Kailash

"portrait de ces femmes du Rajasthan qui, de nos jours encore, suivent la tradition du purdah" (univers cloîtré).

"Parole de femme intouchable" Shantabai Kamble et Baby Kamble, edit. côté-femmes

"ces deux autobiographies nous plongent d'emblée au coeur de la condition de celles qui sont doublement rejetées de la société, comme intouchables et comme femmes"...................................................................................

Une romancière indienne que j'aimerais vous faire connaître (si ce n'est déjà fait) : Kamala Markandaya

"Le riz et la mousson" (coll. j'ai lu) "la vie de Rukmani est remplie par l'amour qu'elle porte à son mari, ses enfants, sa terre. Seulement cette terre du sud de l'Inde est hantée par le spectre de la famine, dominée par deux réalités essentielles : le riz et la mousson"

" Possession" (edit. robert Laffont) dans ce livre, l'auteur fait s'affronter l'occident et l'Inde. "Entre les mains de l'impérieuse Caroline Bell, que va devenir le jeune Valmili, découvert par la riche anglaise dans un village proche de Madras où il s'adonnait à la peinture, dans la simplicité de son coeur et de son esprit ? Projeté dans la haute société londonienne, le jeune homme perd peu à peu son âme dans cette existence artificielle, jusqu'au jour où il retrouve l'Inde, son village, le vieux sage qui avait guidé ses premiers pas : le monde qui est le sien"

"une poignée de riz (Laffont) "nous ramène au milieu de ce petit peuple de l'Inde, qui dans les faubourgs des grandes cités, vit ou survit, avec fatalisme, dans d'inimaginables conditions. "

"quelle secrète fureur" (Laffont) "Mirabaï appartient à une puissante famille indienne de caste supérieure : parce qu'elle refuse l'existence préservée des gens de son milieu, la voici mêlée au grand mouvement d'espérance et de vie qui, à la veille de la guerre, soulève son pays"..............................................................................

"l'Equilibre du monde" Rohinton Mistry (albin Michel)

"c'est toute l'Inde contemporaine qui est contenue dans ces 700 pages.Des conflits ethniques et religieux, au combat désespéré des intouchables en passant par la vie quotidienne dans les bidonvilles, ... ce livre est une leçon de vie"

"Gange, ô ma mère" Bhairava Prasâd Gupta (gallimard connaissance de l'orient)

"A l'est de Bénarès, le cours du Gange se déplace chaque année, mettant à découvert de riches limons qui forment le lit du fleuve sacré. Les paysans voisins s'empressent de le cultiver, mais les riches propriétaires fonciers mettent tout en oeuvre pour se les approprier. Dans le petit village de Dîyar, un ancien lutteur, Matrû, est décidé à leur résister. Par son calme, la force morale qu'il puise dans la vénération du fleuve sacré, il parvient à secouer la passivité de son entourage et à donner à ses compatriotes le sentiment de leur dignité et de leur droit à la vie"...

"Au bord du Gange" Martine Quentic-Séguy (edit. seuil) contes des sages de l'Inde

"Au bord du Gange, le pèlerin patient se fait méditant immobile, l'ascète rieur se révèle vif comme l'éclair. Ici, à chacun son chemin, son pas, son heure juste. L'un goûte la saveur des rêves, l'autre entend encore l'écho des légendes vivantes, Dieux, démons, animaux sacrés, souverains ou mendiants, tous portent une histoire et cherchent à se trouver eux-mêmes. Apaisé, libéré, le Sage quant à lui écoute le chant de l'eau et sait comme le vent passer sur l'autre rive, au moment même où les voix des conteurs de l'Inde résonnent pour évoquer mille existences et nous appeler à vivre l'instant".

Bon, je garde les grands classiques, Narayan, Naipaul, Tagore, pour une autre fois... Bonne et douce nuit Sandrine

" We’re ALL different, and so are our expectations when it comes to travel or leisure ". There are—without a doubt—as many ways to experience a trip as there are travelers!! For the two of us, it’s only our love of wild nature that guides us to East Africa. The stated goal of this trip was purely wildlife-focused, and NOT about discovering the country or its people.

Hello everyone,

Previously, I shared the account of a trip/safari in southern Tanzania in June 2024, in the Mikumi and Selous reserves.

This time, still in southern Tanzania, I invite you to join us in Ruaha National Park. (Then, depending on the number of images allowed in my quota, at the end of my story, we’ll return to Selous for the second part of the same trip.)

- This trip/safari took place in November 2022. - Our flight started in Marseille, heading to Addis Ababa, then Dar es Salaam (via Ethiopian Airlines). In Dar, we spent one night at a hotel near the airfield.

-1- During the layover in Addis Ababa. The Airbus A-350 in the early morning mist.



Reminder: Click on each image to enlarge it, if needed. .

From Dar es Salaam, if you want to go by road to Ruaha, it’ll take a very long and tiring day. 🤪

On previous trips, we’ve always taken a bush plane for this route. In this case, it took just over an hour and a half, with two short intermediate stops to drop off passengers at other bush airstrips.

Since I’m also passionate about aviation, I love these flights where you can admire the landscapes from low altitude while sitting right behind the pilot 🙂.

-2- These routes mainly use Cessna 208 Caravans.



At the Msembe airstrip, we’re greeted around 1:30 PM by a guide and a driver from our chosen lodge. They brought a picnic basket, which we enjoy at a nearby picnic area. We’re by the Ruaha River, completely dry—it’s scorching hot.

-3- The first mammals we encounter are a pair of female impalas, accompanied by a young male.



Reminder: Click on the image to view it in larger size. 😉

-4- To save the hippopotamus populations from certain death, rangers had to dig holes in the sand with bulldozers. Fortunately, water is present beneath the sand layer.



-5- This crocodile doesn’t seem to have been accepted as a swimming neighbor by the hippos...



We’ll explore along the river for 2-3 hours before crossing it at a ford toward the southern part of the reserve.

-6- The typical landscape of Ruaha, with its many baobabs.



-7- My buddy the R.L.B. is also here to welcome me.... 🙂 🙂



-8- As well as this little bee-eater... 😎



-9- ...which reminds us of the origin of its name...!



-10- Above a rare waterhole, a fish eagle keeps watch for fish...



...

*** Please wait until the end of the story for any questions or to share your own experiences in Ruaha. (Or via PM.) Thanks in advance for keeping this account smooth and enjoyable. 😉

...

*** I’m not an ornithologist, but birds are an important and unavoidable part of safari discoveries. You’ll find quite a few in the images of my story. 😎

Hello, if the off-the-beaten-path enthusiasts are still around 😉, I’d love some info on tackling these trails. I’m not super familiar with the rules, risks, or what to expect—I’m looking for firsthand experience from folks who’ve done it on their own once or multiple times.

Take a step back, forget your bearings, and momentarily set aside the boxes we use to categorize life: humans on one side, animals on the other. Immerse yourself in that unsettling zone where man, stripped of his humanity, and the beast—capable of emotions and sensitivity—stand face to face. Who is the predator, who is the prey? Where do fear, barbarism, or extreme violence lie, and where do compassion and philosophy reside?

In this book steeped in anthropomorphism, Stéphanie Artarit weaves a cruel plot and pushes the boundaries of darkness without ever wallowing in the grim or sordid.

A story of love and vengeance, of fierce beasts and humans, where the abominable, the unbearable, and the unthinkable are pierced by the candor and fragile luminosity of the heroine, Bambi, around whom (very) dark passions rage.

The action takes place in the Pyrenees in the mid-1970s. A dilapidated, isolated house, the theater of the unthinkable, where a shattered family ignored by social services lives—or survives: a missing father, a helpless mother, two degenerate twins, Sam and Valerien, a violent older brother, Martin, an absolute bastard, a dog... and a young adolescent, Bambi, the precarious pillar of this teetering balance. To escape this hopeless daily life, she regularly finds refuge in a nearby zoo. Caught during yet another sneaky visit, she is taken to the owner of the place, Noel Rivière, who, moved by her misery (and her ethereal, unreal beauty...), hires her as an apprentice.

This could have been the start of a fairy tale, redemption through love, the bastard permanently neutralized... and a breather for the reader.

But no.

The zoo serves as the backdrop for the second part of the story, which introduces new characters... a little girl, Feline, and a chimpanzee, Adam, placed in an isolated enclosure upon arrival because he was aggressive and unable to live among his own kind.

Humans with primitive animality, animals with astonishing humanity... a deranged, fierce, and heartbreaking Jungle Book. A noir novel with fluid, poetic writing.

A breathless read, almost devoured in one go (in two sittings) because it’s impossible to catch your breath before finding out how far the author will push the limits and what fate she has in store for her characters...

You Don’t Eat Cannibals Stéphanie ARTARIT Belfond Noir

Well, here we go, despite the lack of info on Zambia, I managed to pull off this pretty special trip. I’d posted asking for tips but got very few replies. So I leaned heavily on Giradhino’s travel journal to plan the route.

The context: After visiting Kenya, then Namibia, then Botswana, I wanted to see another Southern African country—hence Zambia. This time, we’re two couples: us (of course) and our friends we’ve traveled with to the last two countries mentioned. The idea was to do a self-drive trip, picking up a 4x4 at the airport and figuring it out as we went.

We rented our fully equipped vehicle from Hemingways, an agency in Livingstone. Great agency (really), I’ll talk more about them later. It came with rooftop tents and all the gear for cooking and everything... However, our goal was to sleep in lodges and only use the tents as a last resort. Mission accomplished—we never even unfolded the tents. Guess we’re getting old 🙂

The route (summary): Lusaka - Kasanka NP - Bangweulu NP - Mutinondo - Kapishya - North Luangwa - South Luangwa and back to Lusaka.

That said, let’s hit the road for this travel journal of a pretty lively trip. Reminder: I’m more of a filmmaker, so I’ve got tons of footage but very few photos. The ones I have were taken on my phone, so they’re not great quality. My wife’s the one who handles that side of things.

Day 1:

At 9 a.m. sharp (or close enough), we leave the Lyon area, heading to Paris CDG. Our flight’s at 9:30 p.m., but it’s a busy Saturday with holiday traffic, so we play it safe to avoid jams—especially since the Olympics (hosted in Paris, in case you didn’t know) are causing extra traffic issues.

We’re relaxed and happy to be on our way. The drive goes smoothly. We take the eastern route around Paris to reach a hotel with parking at a better price than the airport lots. We leave the car there, and a shuttle takes us to Terminal 2. Bad luck—we’re actually flying from Terminal 1! The transfer between terminals is quick, though, so no stress.

After the usual formalities (with Rwandair), we end up in the Duty Free.

A rare rant-free moment: Usually, I let off steam in my travel journals now and then, but this time it’s the opposite. I had a terrible memory of CDG and had been avoiding it for years. But this time—Olympics effect? A big change? What a pleasant surprise! The staff were plentiful and super friendly at every pre-flight step, making everything easier. Comfortable seats for waiting to board. Well done, CDG!

We buy Ricard, Jack Daniel’s, and Get 27 to handle any situation that might come up. We board on time, and that’s when our adventures with Rwandair really begin. Yep, the first hiccup!

We’d booked our tickets back in October and (since we don’t hold back!) had paid extra for preferred seats on all our flights. Since October, we’d received emails about schedule changes—just a few minutes here and there. Unfortunately, we never got an email saying that *on top of* the schedule change, the plane’s configuration had also changed. So when we boarded with our seats (all four of us together at row 25), we were furious to see that the preferred seats were now row 23. We’d been *completely* scammed. We’d paid extra to end up in seats we’d been trying to avoid! You could say Rwandair double-dipped on the same seats. What a rip-off! We tried to negotiate an upgrade, but the flight was full. So our flight to Kigali started with a real sense of anger.

The +: We’re on our way The -: Rwandair

Hi there, I’m looking to travel outside Europe in September, and my first thought was to return to Thailand. Unfortunately, what I’m reading about the weather isn’t encouraging—Indonesia seems like the better option this season. Sulawesi is really tempting, but the budget is higher. Since I’ve already been to Thailand in July a few years ago (it was overcast but with little rain), this time I’d love to explore Isan and then do some volunteering at Elephant Nature Park before ending with a few days by the sea. Do you think this is a good idea, or should I postpone it? I love sunshine, even if it’s not constant, and I’ve had enough of rain and gray skies back in Belgium 😅 Thanks so much! 🙏

Hi there!

Phew, this feels really strange—it’s my very first post after the forum’s long closure... like stepping back into that carefree pre-COVID time...

I’m trying to plan a short trip (just under two weeks) to Flores at the end of March, beginning of April, and I’ve got *so* many questions... - **Transport**: From what I’ve gathered, the only flights to Maumere are from Denpasar (or Labuan Bajo), right? Did I get that right? And for getting around the island, I was thinking of hiring a car with a driver for the main routes (we don’t ride motorbikes...). Any idea what the going rate is? And do you have any trusted contacts to recommend? - **Timing**: Even though the best season is later, is the weather still manageable at that time—especially for snorkeling with calm seas and good visibility? - **Komodo archipelago cruise**: I was considering a 3-day, 2-night cruise at the end of the trip, from Labuan Bajo to Komodo. Something comfortable (cabin with private facilities). I saw what Captain Komodo offers on the Alcira—has anyone tried it? Otherwise, any other recommendations?

Yeah, I know it’s a lot of questions! Usually, I travel a bit more spontaneously, but the transport logistics are making me a little nervous—we only have two weeks, so if it takes 5 flights and 3 days of travel just to get to Maumere, we might have to pick a more accessible destination...

Thanks in advance!

Aaah, I'm so glad Voyage Forum is back up and running. For reading... and for writing...

My last travel journal was from 2019, when I went hiking and backpacking with my son, who was 15 at the time. We visited some places that were still pretty unknown back then! I was supposed to go in April 2020, still solo, with arches as the main focus. I’d spent nearly two months getting physically prepared, and had managed to snag a bunch of permits for CBS, The Needles, and so on... Of course, it all got postponed—first to October 2020, then April 2021, then October 2021, and finally it happened in April 2022. Maybe I’ll write about that in another journal. The thing is, every time, I spend at least 6 to 8 weeks getting physically ready, even though I work out all year. Huge disappointment during that trip—so much had changed because of Covid, kind of like in the mountains back home. Overcrowding, not just in the national parks (we knew about that), but also in a lot of remote, lesser-known spots. Like the French, Americans realized they had a lot of beautiful places in their own country during those travel bans. And they kept exploring... Prices for pretty much everything had already gone up a lot. Gas, restaurants, cars, but especially lodging! Then, after dealing with so much wind in April, I got a little "fed up" with that time of year. It felt like I had strong winds and sandstorms for 3 out of the 3.5 weeks I was there...

So, the next trip was October 2023, to catch the partial eclipse in New Mexico, and of course, a bunch of arches ;). So many arches. Maybe I’ll write about that one too... Then came (among others) April 2024 for the total eclipse, in Texas, but starting from L.A., with my partner Valérie. Since I’d never visited some places I wanted to see further south of my usual loops, it was the perfect opportunity... And here we are at the end of September 2024. Another trip focused on arches—I never get tired of them. Every time I check one off my list, another gets added. Often it’s a photo I’ve seen online or in the NABS (Natural Arches and Bridges Society) magazine, which I’m a member of. I also scour the WAD (World Arches Database) and make a list of arches I want to visit. Fewer and fewer "viewpoints"—I’ve done all the most famous ones, and unless the sky is amazing, the photos all look the same. Since my goal is always photography *and* hiking, I’m always on the lookout. So this time, a packed itinerary—27 days, very busy. In past trips, if I didn’t plan enough and hiked fast, I’d end up with too many "gaps" in my days. This time, I’d rather have too much than too little (like in 2023, actually).

A few stats: - 6,589 km, including +/-1,400 km of off-road trails - 323 km of hiking, 8,829 m of elevation gain - 142 new arches for my collection, including some stunning ones, some less so, and some downright ugly—but all in the WAD. - Two outings with a Navajo guide - Almost no injuries - 8 bivouacs, including 2 backpacking trips - 4 days of backpacking - 22 freeze-dried meals and 15 Subways eaten - 6 thorns in my shoes (long live the tweezers in my backpack) - 3 kg lost (plus the 5 kg lost during prep)

Almost every day, I posted a little update on Facebook for family and friends. So I’ll be copy-pasting those texts here, written "my way" as usual. Some will like it, some won’t—that’s just how it is... 😏

For months, I planned this trip—looking for info, creating GPS tracks on Google Earth, exchanging tips with NABS members and other passionate friends. I snagged permits for The Needles again (4-5 days), for Fiery Furnace, timed entries for Arches National Park (2), and booked just one campsite, a "triple tour" in Monument Valley, and the first night in a motel. This is the first time I haven’t booked 80% of the motels—I was tired of having constraints because of the weather. This time, I want to be able to adjust my plans based on the weather and what I feel like doing more or less of. Camp when the weather’s nice, hotel/motel when it’s crappy.

Here we go...

Day 1

As usual, early morning flights: BRU-AMS, then AMS-SLC. Those who follow me know I’ve been renting a Rubicon from Rugged for years, which "forces" me to land in SLC. Up at 3:30 AM, but I’d been awake since 2:00 AM—the day’s going to be long. Shuttle to the airport. In Brussels, only two check-in counters open. I get there—no cabin baggage weigh-in, while the agent next to me is weighing everyone’s, even kids’ backpacks! A bit of luck, because as usual, if they weighed my backpack *and* my cabin bag, I’d already be over 20 kg. I check two hold bags, since I’ve got a lot of camping/backpacking gear, lots of freeze-dried meals, the backpacking bag, the Bear Canister needed for The Needles, etc. First flight is 30 minutes late, so the second one is already boarding. I’ve got the SSSS mark on my ticket (extra security check), so I head straight to the front when I arrive at the same time as Zone 3, even though I’m Zone 6. I pretend the check will take a while, and it "works"—they didn’t notice! No way I want to board last and risk them making me check my cabin bag. It’s packed with photo gear, laptop, drone, etc.—unthinkable to have to put it in the hold. Always a worry... SLC: baggage claim, customs, and out in 32 minutes. The MPC app makes something that was already quick even faster at this airport. And all the bags are there. That’s always a relief too. Since I drive at least 3 hours straight after landing, losing a hold bag would really mess up the trip and force me to spend the first night closer to SLC. On the way to Rugged. A young French couple from Reims is in the shuttle with me—they discovered Rugged thanks to my post in a Facebook group! Well, the team has changed again, and they lost half the stuff I’d left last October (plastic boxes, pillow, sugar, gas cartridges, folding chair, Crocs, etc.), but at least there are gas cartridges, so I don’t have to go to REI. REI would’ve been at least an hour out of my way. But as far as I know, there are no gas cartridges in Green River. I still get my tent stake hammer back, and a folding chair—different from mine but identical.

20,000 km Rubicon 4Xe, white. I check the tires—they’re in great shape, as requested. I’ll come back to the hybrid later. I didn’t want a hybrid, but that’s all they had this year. Why? Higher fuel consumption, smaller tank, higher cargo floor.

Stop at the Walmart near Provo, whose layout I know like the back of my hand (Walmarts are often similar). Start-of-trip shopping: water, Coke, Gatorade, UHT milk for cereal (not very common in the US), Special K "Almond and Vanilla", cold meds that work well (and don’t exist back home—you never know), two plastic bins, a pillow for the tent, Trail Mix, that’s about it. On the road to Nebo Loop for the fall colors. I’d driven this route last year, in the opposite direction on my way back to SLC, but it was a bit too late. This time, I’m a little early. At the start of the road, the maples are in the sun, so I go up to 2,200 m for the bright yellow aspens, then head back down. Mostly drone shots—no time to go for a walk. After a day like this, 4.5-5 hours of driving is already a lot... Arrived in Green River at 9:00 PM. Organize all the stuff from the bags properly, then sleep.

A few photos from these first few hours.

Hello, We’re planning a trip to Zambia in 2 years. This will be our 4th trip to Southern Africa—the last one this year was Moremi, Boteti, KCGR, and KTP as a self-drive with campsites and no guide, just my wife and me. For this year’s trip, we prepared 2 years in advance—bookings are really complicated. We were lucky to get a spot at Bitterpan in KTP (there are only 4 chalets).

We’d like to know if it’s easy to get around Zambia, especially when it comes to restocking supplies. Should we rent a 4x4 in Zambia, Namibia, or South Africa? Botswana is very expensive. Which parks are the most interesting? We’re into wildlife photography.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Jean-Marc

Salut,

Finalement il y a des vols d’exception pour sortir de là où on est bloqués (des vols qui coûtent un bras) pour aller vers Istanbul et d’Istanbul on compte prendre un vol vers Toronto.

Ma femme canadienne m’accompagne. N’étant pas Canadien mais Français, que vont-ils me demander à l’embarquement ? Nous n’avons que la photocopie de notre acte de mariage canadien, l’original étant au Canada.

Merci.

J'ai réservé et payé, le 11/09/2018, l'acompte de 30% à Voyages Rive Gauche pour une croisière départ de Paris le 29/03/2019 pendant 30 jours sur le bateau MSC Splendida. Aujourd'hui 18/09/2018 je reçois un mail de Voyages Rive Gauche m'annonçant que le prix du vol a augmenté de 585€ par personne soit pour mon époux et moi 1170 €. J'ai le choix, soit payer ce supplément ou annuler ma réservation avant le vendredi 21/09/2018. Que me suggérez-vous ? Voyages Rive Gauche ont-ils le droit de procéder ainsi sans dédommagement, maintenant qu'ils sont en possession de mon contrat et les références de ma cartes de crédit ? Merci pour votre avis

Bonjour à tous,

Notre départ approche à vitesse grand V et je reviens vers vous pour quelques conseils pratiques au sujet de la conduite au royaume de Simba

Concernant le carburant: les stations sont elles en livre service ou alors quelqu'un fait il le plein ? Concernant les péages: automatique ? Par carte ? En espèce ? Ils semble que les cartes de crédit ne soient pas prises au péage !? Tout bon conseil à prendre sur la conduite en Afs sera le bienvenue.

Merci à tous

Bonjour,

grosso modo dans la même région, lequel serait le mieux ? Pour des raisons géographiques, je préférerais le second, mais si c'est vraiment différent...

Merci d'avance.

Bonjour à tous,

Pour nous aider dans notre décision, auriez vous des idées de destinations pour partir les 15 premiers jours de Mai ?

Nous étions partis sur Bali en 1er choix, puis nous avons lu que la Réunion était propice aussi à cette période là.

Nous voudrions partir pour un séjour "mixte", et ainsi alterner trekking/rando et farniente/plages paradisiaques.

Si certains sont partis à cette période, nous sommes preneurs de vos témoignages !

Merci et excellente année !

Bonjour a tous,

Nous serons au Kruger debut octobre, et nous avons vu sur différents post, forums, sites, que le parc Kruger organisait différents safaris comme: Le Sunrise Drive, le Sunset Drive, le Night Drive, et le Morning Bush Walk. -Ses safaris organisé sont t'il vraiment conseiller ou juste le faire soi-même en voiture est suffisant? -Parmi des safaris, lequel nous conseilleriez vous, sachant que nous logerons une nuit au Lebata Camp, 2 nuits a Skukuza et une autre nuit entre ses Camps? Nous avions prevu le Tambati, mais il est plein. -Que nous conseilleriez vous comme Camp pour remplacer le Tambati?

Sinon apres nous partiron au Swaziland faire le Hlane, le Mkhaya, puis retour en afrique du sud pour l'Imfolozi, St lucia, etc.....

Merci d'avance pour vos infos

Bonjour, Ma mère (73 ans), je l'accompagne, désire aller en Afrique australe essentiellement pour voir des lions, son animal de prédilection. Elle n'a pas voyagé depuis très longtemps et je tiens vraiment a ce que son voyage soit mémorable. Donc la question, quel pays choisir? Je suis déjà allée en Tanzanie et j'en ai vu pas mal, y a-t-il mieux? Ou l'équivalent?
