AN INCREDIBLE CAVE IN NIGERIA

Image
          The Ogbunike Cave The Ogbunike Caves are in Ogbunike , Anambra State, southeastern Nigeria. Located in a valley blanketed by tropical rain forest, the collection of caves has been in use over centuries by local people for whom it has particular spiritual significance. This spiritual significance is still apparent, as the “Ime Ogba” celebration is undertaken every year to commemorate the discovery of the caves.    Descending into the valley where the caves are located is a lengthy walkway made up of about 317 steps said to have been constructed by the Anambra State Government in the mid 90s. Visitors must remove their shoes before entering the caves, as per tradition. And women who are having their monthly circle cannot go in.                        The main cave consists of a massive structure with a big open chamber of about 5m high, 10m wide and 30m long at the entrance. There are ten tunnels at the main chamber leading to diffe

Beautiful Mauritius

Image
Something for all: Mauritius has plenty of family fun in the day and night T hink  Mauritius  and you’ll likely think of pristine white beaches, turquoise seas and exclusive, luxury resorts full of celebrities and the super-rich. As with all clichés, it’s partly true but the reality is far more interesting – and much more accessible. You’ll probably also think it’s tropically, uncomfortably hot, being only 20 degrees south of the Equator in the Indian Ocean. The Mauritian summer, between October and April, can be hot, humid and wet. It is still largely glorious. But the “winter” is pretty much perfect for Britons: an average temperature in the low to mid-20s, not much rain and far lower humidity. And the mosquitoes have a rest too, making life far more comfortable. You’ll not be short of things to do. Those beaches – 160km of them – are amazing, especially in the more glamorous east of the island, but Mauritius’s diverse colonial history, volcanic peaks,
