Thrilling Travel Without Danger

With the United States lifting their travel advisory to Zimbabwe, there are plenty of adrenaline-junkies eyeing the location as a possible new stop. Not so fast! In fact, the U.S. government has made it clear that the change in advisory doesn't signal a change in policy-- it simply reflects a reinstatement of "'basic' medical, food and fuel services to Zimbabwe." Let's hold off on that wild Zimbabwean vacation just yet, and aim for something family-friendly, but equally as exciting.
