Chyulu Hills National Park lies in southeastern Kenya between Amboseli and Tsavo, forming a long range of volcanic hills covered by grassland, shrubland, and patches of montane forest. The hills rise from the surrounding plains and are shaped by relatively recent volcanic activity, with lava flows, cones, caves, and other geological features visible across the landscape.

The island is dominated by a cool and moist maritime climate. During the summers, the average temperatures vary from 45 degrees to 75 degrees F. Yearly precipitation averages from 60" to 200" based on the exact locale.

Anguilla is a level coral atoll with abundant breath-taking beaches. The name comes from the Spanish word for eel, named apparently because of the island's long, narrow profile.

Les Andelys, a picturesque town on the banks of the Seine in Normandy, France, is best known for its dramatic setting beneath the ruins of Château Gaillard. This medieval fortress, built in the 12th century by Richard the Lionheart, stands high on a chalk cliff overlooking the river, a reminder of the region’s turbulent past during the wars between England and France.
