Besides the northern lights and fjords, Norway offers a delectable selection of mouth-watering foods - foods that you probably have not tried before. Because Norweigans love adventure, food is no exception. For example, every residential Norwegian forages, and you can do the same as well on your Norway holiday. That is why I often suggest that travelers visiting Norway go on a foraging tour in August or September. That is when the hedgerows are in full bloom and prized porcini mushrooms can be easily found.  However, never pick mushrooms without a guide to help. That is why a foraging tour is a must-do activity. You can also pick dew-sparkling amber berries, cloudberries, and lingonberries in places  such as Hardangervidda and Rondane. Also, Husmanskost is a hearty and inviting lunch you will love - open sandwiches that feature sourdough or rye bread, topped with charcuterie, veggies, or seafood. You can savor the cuisine in places, such as the Havariet Bistro in Oslofjord.  Classic dinner dishes include unique and succulent foods, such as elk meatballs and reindeer stew, also called finnbiff. Enjoy these evening staples in places, such as the Elgustua Guesthouse in East Norway. When you eat that type of delicious food, you will need to find ways to work off the calories, and Norway has plenty of activities in which you can take part. One of the popular activities of the country, naturally, is skiing.  The word, "ski," itself comes from the Old Norse language. Many Norweigans assert that they had skis on their feet when they were born. Therefore, if you want to ski, you will find Norway to be a skiers paradise. You can hit the powder in winter or ski down a glacier during the summer. An exciting adventure always waits in this cold yet warm Scandinavian country. I would like to serve as your travel agent planner for Norway, as I know you will love your trip, regardless of when you choose to travel. Give me a call so we can go over all the exciting details now!

Mount Kilimanjaro Travel Agent Expert

If you are planning a vacation that is adventurous and challenging, the Mount Kilimanjaro trek can be an excellent option. This mountain has been the source of inspiration for many writers, poets, musicians and painters.  And now it’s your turn to experience this source of natural beauty in person! I can help you plan this exciting pursuit, as I know everything there is to know as a travel agent professional for this amazing trip. Mount Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered peak that is found on the East African Rift. It is also referred to as ‘The Roof of Africa’ or ‘The Great White Hope’ because of its white glaciers and snow-capped peaks.  It has five primary centers: Kibo, Mawe, Machame, Maundi and Iroki. As soon as you reach Kilimanjaro National Park, you’ll enter a completely different world from what you have ever experienced.. Here everything is about nature; you will feel as if you are disconnected from the rest of the world and all your worries have gone away for good. Mount Kilimanjaro is notable, as it’s the tallest peak in Africa and one of the highest peaks in the world. It’s an ideal place for anyone who is looking for once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is not as easy as you might imagine; you have to be  physically fit to climb it.  Most people who attempt the climb may give up at some point because of its grueling nature. But if you’re determined and ready for the challenge, then you won’t regret making the trek. The thrill of accomplishment Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. It’s also one of the few mountains where the climbing conditions are varied. That’s because the mountain is  covered with snow and ice throughout most of the year. Therefore, the frozen ice and harsh weather are what make this mountain so difficult to climb. Fewer than 20% of climbers make it to the top of this mountain; most people stop at some point. So, if you make it to the summit, you’ll be one of the few to do so. Breathtaking views at the summit Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an exciting experience because you’ll be able to see and experience breathtaking views at the summit - and along the way. The highest point of this mountain is Uhuru Peak, at 19,340 feet above sea level.  At the summit, you can see the vast African landscape. Or, you can plan a park vacation and climb part of the way. During your journey, you’ll see animals like zebras and wildebeests. You’ll also get to see breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding African countries - like Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.  On the way up the mountain, you’ll have a chance to experience different climatic zones, like the alpine desert, alpine meadow, and heathland. Kilimanjaro is also a volcanic mountain.  Seeing the sunrise from the top of the world Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a great way to see the sunrise from the top of the world. What a great experience to add to a bucket list! A physical and mental challenge Climbing this mountain is no walk in the park; it’s one of the most challenging outdoor adventures you’ll experience in life. You’ll have to trek through a lot of challenging conditions like extreme weather, high altitudes, or pass over unforgiving terrain.  Again, you’ll be trekking through the rainforest, alpine desert, alpine meadow, and heathland. You’ll have to climb through the steep rocky terrain of Shira and Mawenzi mountains. It’s not an easy feat.  Whether you plan to trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro or experience the natural wonders of Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park, I can plan an ideal vacation for you. Don’t let this opportunity slip you by. Let’s begin planning your African holiday! Give me a call now. As your travel agent advisor, I can help you create the perfect itinerary.
