Mongolia is a vast country of stark beauty, extreme weather, and exceptionally warm people. It is a land where the legacy of the legendary Genghis Khan still runs deep – the great conqueror who once swept across much of the known world from his Mongolian base. Roughly the size of Western Europe, yet home to fewer than three million people, Mongolia is one of the most sparsely populated countries on earth, while also boasting one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Traditionally a nation of nomadic herders, many Mongolians still live this way today, residing in round felt tents known as gers that are regularly moved from place to place. There is a striking contrast between the capital, Ulaanbaatar, with its modern restaurants and shops, and the vast countryside, where traditional culture remains deeply rooted.

November to March is generally the best time for tours in Benin, as the weather is cooler, drier, and more predictable, making it ideal for outdoor activities and photography. The annual Voodoo Festival happens on 10 January each year. The FROST team is privy to 'insider' information about special pre- and post-festival celebrations.
April-May can still be good for photography, but the heat can be challenging.
May to October offers a different experience with lush landscapes, but the rain can disrupt travel plans.
Festivals & Events: Voodoo Festival and Gaani Festival. Contact the FROST team for more details on festivals.
