The Way to See Victoria Falls
Why get in a helicopter when you can strap yourself in a plastic chair with only a tiny motor and the wind to guide you? I'm a chicken so I chose the helicopter first. Poor choice -- it was fun for a minute and a waste of $100. A microlight brings you much closer to the Falls (and possibly death). Live a little -- the wind, the silence, and the sheer fear cannot be beat. Don't miss this while in Zambia. For more info: http://www.batokasky.com
Time to Add Sandboarding to Your To-Do-List
For only $25, you can sandboard down the black slopes of Cerro Negro, an active volcano in Nicaragua. You don't need to snowboard to look like a pro. You do, however, need to have a taste for adventure and be able to hike an hour up the 728 meters (2,388 ft) volcano while carrying a wooden board. Or you can do what I did, beg the guide to hold your board and give him a good tip. With only garden gloves and plastic goggles to protect you from the ash, you'll be speeding down the volcano in no time. Want more of an adrenaline rush? Try sandboarding with only the light of the full moon to guide you. Tierra Tour in Leon can take you on the half-day tour. For more info: http://tierratour.com

Hiking to Find Gorillas
After a grueling 5 hour hike through the thick bush of Rwanda's Parc National des Volcans, we finally found what we were looking for - the Susa group of gorillas. We were able to get within a few feet of these enormous animals and observe them in their natural habitat. The baby gorillas tugged at us as if they were inviting us to play. The whole experience is surreal. Imagine hanging out with a silverback? We could have spent the whole day watching them, but unfortunately our park permits limited us to only an hour. Better to book the permits in advance with a tour company as there are only a handful of permits available per day. Hanging out with gorillas is not cheap. The permits cost approx. $500 per person, per day, but it is more than worth it. Better bite the bullet now as prices are just going to increase as more people discover Rwanda as a vacation spot. You may be asking, "Is Rwanda safe?" I'd say that these days it's safer than parts of New York. For more info: http://www.rwandatourism.com
