Bagamoyo is a historic coastal town in Tanzania’s Pwani Region, facing the Indian Ocean north of Dar es Salaam. Its old town contains Swahili, Arab, and German-era buildings, while the shoreline remains connected to fishing and dhow construction. Bagamoyo developed as an important port and inland caravan terminus, linking the coast with trading routes across the interior.

Originating as a tiny fishing village in 1038, modern Kehl has become an important link between Germany and France. Rhine River cruises most often use Kehl as their gateway to the much larger and better-known Strasbourg. The savvy traveler, though, might choose to skip the jaunt across the river and enjoy many similar sights, shopping and cuisine as those offered in the teeming French city.

The Atlas Mountains extend across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, forming a vast system of ranges between the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts and the Sahara.

Thyolo is a district and town in southern Malawi, set among the rolling hills of the Shire Highlands between Blantyre and Mount Mulanje.
