Erta Ale is an active basaltic volcano situated in the Afar Region of northeastern Ethiopia, within the Danakil Depression - one of the hottest and most inhospitable areas on Earth. Known for its continuous lava lake, Erta Ale is among the few volcanoes worldwide to feature this phenomenon, making it a truly unique destination for adventure travellers and volcano enthusiasts. Standing at approximately 613 metres high, the volcano is often referred to as the "Smoking Mountain" and is respected by the local Afar community. The lava lake in its summit crater provides a rare, captivating glimpse into the Earth's depths. The surrounding landscape is stark and almost alien, with barren, rocky terrain dotted with fissures and fumaroles, and at night, the lava's red glow creates a dramatic contrast against the dark desert sky. Visiting Erta Ale can be demanding due to the extreme climate, with temperatures frequently exceeding 40°C. Most travellers reach the site through the town of Mekele. The journey involves a mix of travel by 4x4 and a trek over rugged terrain, making it suitable for those in good physical condition and prepared for challenging conditions. Despite these difficulties, reaching the summit and witnessing Erta Ale’s bubbling lava lake is an unforgettable experience, often described as one of the most extraordinary sights in the world.

Happy Diwali - Diwali, known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most important Hindu festivals, celebrated widely across India and various parts of the world. The festival represents the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Held between October and November, its dates vary according to the Hindu lunar calendar and it spans five days, with the principal celebration on the third day. Each day holds distinct rituals and meanings: the first, Dhanteras, is dedicated to wealth and prosperity, during which people clean and decorate their homes and often purchase gold, silver, and other valuable items. The second day, Naraka Chaturdashi or Choti Diwali, is a time to clear away negativity, with homes decorated using clay lamps and rangoli (colourful designs made from powders or flower petals). On the third day, Diwali, families worship Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, by lighting oil lamps, candles, and fireworks, and performing puja (prayers) to welcome prosperity. The fourth day, Govardhan Puja, commemorates Lord Krishna’s lifting of Govardhan Hill and is celebrated by preparing and offering a variety of foods as a symbol of gratitude and abundance. The fifth and final day, Bhai Dooj, honours the bond between brothers and sisters, with sisters praying for their brothers' well-being and brothers giving gifts in return as a gesture of love and protection. #diwali #hindufestival #celebration #festival

Leopard seals are apex predators found along the icy shores and waters of Antarctica. They are named for their striking coat, marked with dark, spotted patterns reminiscent of a leopard’s. Sleek and powerful, these seals are known for their remarkable hunting skills, making them some of the most effective predators in the Antarctic ecosystem. Their diet primarily consists of penguins, fish, squid, and even smaller seals, with an agile and stealthy approach often witnessed as they prowl beneath the ice or wait near penguin colonies. Unlike many seal species, leopard seals are solitary and highly territorial, often patrolling vast stretches of coastline alone. They use their distinctive vocalisations – eerie, high-pitched calls that carry for kilometres underwater – to communicate and establish territory.

Happy Uganda independence day to all our friends and colleagues whereever you are today - Uganda's Independence Day is celebrated on 9th October, marking the country's independence from British colonial rule in 1962. Uganda became a British protectorate in the late 19th century, and its path to independence was shaped by a combination of nationalist movements, political negotiations, and the decolonisation process happening across Africa. In 1962, Uganda was granted full independence. #uganda AA Safaris and Tours ltd #IndependenceDay #UgandaIndependenceDay
