The 'Don't Cancel, Postpone' campaign is still fresh in our minds when it was running on social media following the outbreak of COVID-19. This campaign helped people postpone their holiday trips instead of cancelling them.
While we are all trying to get away from lockdowns, bans and restrictions, now is the time to plan that postponed getaway and look forward to a much-needed holiday in the New Year.
2022 presents you with the opportunity to explore different cultures and here are a few of the things you can do.
Nature
With most countries implementing restrictions and bans following COVID-19, you'd like to escape and unleash your wanderlust in nature.
Discover unforgettable safari moments in Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania, Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, and Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda. These East African regions offer an array of safari experiences unique to them. See the big five (Lion, Leopard, Black Rhinoceros, Elephant, and Buffalo) and experience nature like never before.
Adventure
This year promises plenty of adventure. Try skydiving in Zanzibar and cross it off your bucket list.

You can also swim with whale sharks in Mafia, an island in Tanzania. Mafia waters are home to these beautiful and gentle giant creatures all year long.
Culture and History
The best way to understand a destination is to learn about its culture and history. By visiting the Genocide Memorial in Kigali, you will learn more about the history of Rwanda. The site is the final resting place for more than 250,000 victims of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. It pays tribute to the many Rwandans who lost their lives in 1994 through promoting peace and education. In addition to learning about the '94 Genocide against Tutsi, you will get to find out about Rwanda's pre-colonial and post-colonial history.
Also, you can learn more about the Maasai culture. Found in Tanzania and Kenya, the Maasai tribe has a unique way of life. Get to know their fascinating language, sing, and dance and experience their traditional way of living.
Sport
Get into the spirit of sports this year. For golfers, discover the most scenic golf courses in East Africa. You can choose between Lugalo Golf Course and Kilimanjaro Golf Course in Tanzania, The Karen Country Club and The Great Rift Valley Country Lodge and Golf Resort in Kenya and Falcon Golf Course and Gorillas Nest Lodge and Resort Golf Course in Rwanda. You are guaranteed to have an unforgettable golfing experience.
