6 . The Republic of the Fiji Islands is an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean about 2, 000 km northeast of New Zealand’s North Island. The island state is inhabited by native Fijians and other minorities like the Indo-Fijians and other smaller groups. The influence of so many diverse groups of people has contributed in making Fiji society a truly multi-ethnic one. The religion in Fiji is also diverse and every religious group gets equal opportunities.
The Fijians consider their national costume a representative of the culture of Fiji. The national costume of Fijians in the earlier times used to be loincloths for men and grass skirts for women. The skirt lengths would determine the status of a woman. A single woman used to wear short skirts but long skirts had to be worn by married women. The national dress of the Fijians now is Sulu. Resembling a skirt, both genders wear it.
The Fijians are pretty easy-going, but if you are invited into a village, wear simple clothing and take off your hat (wearing one is an insult to the chief) when in the village. Leave your shoes outside the door when entering a home and keep in mind that it’s also insulting to touch someone’s head — which can be tempting when you are surrounded by wide-eyed, smiling children.
When visiting a village, it is customary to present a gift of kava. The gift, (a “sevusevu”) will cost less than FJ $ 20 for a half kilo. If you are accompanied by a guide, he/ she will prepare that. Be prepared to shake hands and answer personal questions like, where are you from, are you married, how many children do you have and so on.

8 . The Best Time To Visit Masai Mara
High season
Months: June, July, August, September & October
These are the best months to visit the Masai Mara as it is the long dry season with little or no rainfall. It is easy to spot animals as the bush is less thick and animals gather around available water sources and rivers. It is the best time to witness the Great Migration herds. Accommodation cost will also be high, and as this is the busiest period, so bookings in advance are essential!
Green season
Months: April, May & November
The long rains occur during April and May and short rains in November. Mornings are usually clear and dry, with clouds building into dramatic thunderstorms by late afternoon. A plus to travel during the green season is that fewer people are travelling, which means fewer people and low lodge(旅舍)prices. Some of the lodges and camps close down during these months.
Shoulder season
Months: December, January, February & March
These shoulder months are a time of transition(过渡). Temperatures start to fall off, and migratory birds move on. Animals start to gather in areas where they know there will be water. For birdwatchers they are the best months, as in addition to the resident species, migratory birds, coming here from Europe to spend the winter, are also present. January and February are the best months to witness the birth of wildebeest, zebra and antelope.
