NYT: Rafting in Nile river
Uganda is a wonderful place to experience Africa — and rafting is just a piece of it. You can trek deep into Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and stand eye to eye with a 500-pound critically endangered mountain gorilla. You can scale mountain peaks in the Rwenzoris (also known as the Mountains of the Moon) and see wild elephants at Queen Elizabeth National Park. You can bungee jump, jet boat and kayak. And when you’re done and ready to relax, you can head to the capital, Kampala, to feast on Indian food at boutique hotels and watch enormous marabou storks fly lazy circles in the air, like feathered B-52s, right in the center of town.

If you’re heading to Morocco you’d definitely consider some French lessons and you’d be absolutely sorry for not paying attention to your language courses in high school. Though big cities and travel centers are quite crowded with tourists from all over the world, there are still people who do not speak English. Surprised? You haven’t heard anything yet. Local people speak Moroccan Arabic, something that is quite different from the Mid-East one and slightly influenced by French and Spanish. In addition there are many other dialects impossible to be learnt for a few day holidays.
