Serbia is a small landlocked country in central/south-eastern Europe. Montenegro is even smaller and borders on Serbia; it also borders on the Mediterranean Sea at the Adriatic Sea. Some of Serbia and Montenegro’s closest neighbours are Hungary, Romania and Croatia.

So why hire a car in Serbia and Montenegro?

Serbia and Montenegro offer interesting tourist attractions. In Serbia, one of the most popular archaeological destinations is Gamzigrad, an ancient Roman settlement. Three of its most famous mountain resorts are Kapaonik, Zlatibor and Tara. Montenegro also boasts beautiful natural wonders, such as the Lake of Skadar and the stunning Lovćen National Park. Other national parks are the National Park Durmitor and the National Park Biogradska Gora.

Malawi is a small south-eastern African country bordered by Tanzania, Mozambique and Zambia. It is a relatively underdeveloped country that is still largely dependent on aid. As a result, Malawi’s economy is mostly dependent on tourism and agriculture.

However, it is a country of beautiful natural wonders, not least of which is Lake Malawi that represents most of Malawi’s eastern border and is almost 600km long. It teems with more fish species than any other lake in the world. There are many tourist lodges and accommodation along its shores. Although Lilongwe is the capital, Blantyre is the largest city and commercial hub. It offers tourist attractions such as the National Museum and two old churches, St. Michaels and All Angels.

Réunion Island is 200km southwest of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean and is an overseas region of France. It is relatively small, at about 2 500 square kilometres and there are just over 800 000 inhabitants.

If you are fit and feeling adventurous, an early start (around 05h00) is advised for the five-hour hike up Piton De La Fournaise, Réunion’s most active volcano. Luckily, it has not erupted in nearly twenty years. The hike starts in St. Paul, which was once Réunion Island’s capital. The town sports traditional Créole architecture and an interesting street market on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. In fact, the island is dominated by its natural features, such as its beautiful beaches and numerous volcanic valleys.
