The 200-year-old, 236-acre Old Stone Farm in the Hudson Valley is now a yoga and equestrian resort, with nine guest rooms and a two-room suite in a vintage barn, plus a four-bedroom guesthouse. The end of Ramadan, observed Monday and Tuesday in this predominantly Muslim country, leads to a week off for public employees and many other workers, thanks to the government policy of cuti bersama - creating bridge holidays to stimulate local tourism. The 62,000-acre Rubondo Island National Park, 11 forested islets in the southwest corner of Lake Victoria, is home to migratory birds, African grey parrots, elephants, hippos and crocodiles, among other species.
