The Great Migration, Nature's Great Events on BBC 1

I will most definitely be watching The Great Migration tomorrow night (Wednesday 25th February 2009) on BBC 1 at 9pm, as part of the Nature's Great Events series with David Attenborough narrating it - and would certainly recommend you tune in also! I watched The Salmon Run last week and was mesmerized by the photography and filming of the show - it was absolutely amazing and almost brought tears to my eyes at one point!

The Great Migration is of particular interest to me because I have recently made a booking for a couple (friends of mine) who are going on honeymoon to Kenya in September, where they'll be hoping to catch something of this marvellous natural spectacle themselves. Kenya of course, as I'm sure tomorrow's film will show, isn't the only place to see the mighty Wildebeest make their way across the African plains for their annual migration - Tanzania is also a hot spot.

I do anticipate that there will be much interest for people to head off to these parts of Africa to see the Migration themselves after this programme has been screened, so please so get in contact if you want to know more about having such a fascinating trip yourself.

Private transfers make you feel so much more special!

Coming out of customs on a standard package is always a drag - especially when you're tired, or if you are travelling with children. Not only do you have to fight your way with the crowds to get your name signed off for the coach, then tediously wait for everyone to get on the bus, but then it's 5 drop-offs before you reach your own hotel.

However, imagine getting to the airport and as soon as you come out of customs with all your bags, you spot someone waiting for you with your name on a card? How nice is that idea? Especially if arriving in busy and frantic airports such as Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, which is a popular destination at this time of year.

Instead of having to follow the hoards and hang around for ages for everyone to find their way and get their cases on board, you are immediately whisked off to your private car and driven straight to your accommodation - no stopping to drop off anyone else.

That's the beauty of private transfers. And when it comes to returning home after such a fabulous start to your holiday, it's as easy as when you arrived.

Luxury tour operators naturally provide private transfers, and Wren Elite Travel works with a number holiday companies which only offer this type of journey to your resort or hotel. For example, Classic Collection Holidays, as well as Kirker, are two operators that provide private transfers and really look after customers while travelling.

ITC Classics and The Azure Collection, who are very much preferred tour operators, are two others worth considering, especially for Indian Ocean holidays and going further afield.

On your next holiday, isn't it time you decided top opt out of the mass market and get a little more special treatment for yourself?
