Frommer's, who recently named Tarangire one of the best parks in Tanzania, says that "While the focus for most travelers to Tanzania is nearby Serengeti, many come away claiming lesser-known Tarangire as the real highlight of their trip."

Want to see the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia? Here are 5 things you need to know: How to Get Tickets Before you can begin planning your trip, you need tickets.

When buying tickets for individual events, allow two to three hours in between events- it may take that long to get from one venue to the next. Spectator Passes You cannot gain entrance to the 2014 Winter Olympics with just a ticket alone. You must also obtain a "spectator pass" involving a background check by the Russian government.
