Nothing
can compare to sitting around a blazing campfire at night,
under a canopy of stars in a spectacular wilderness area,
listening to the sounds of Africa. Adventures generally
appeal to the 25 – 60 year age group, who are active and
have an
interest in nature and the outdoors.
PARTICIPATION
CAMPING ADVENTURES
On a participation camping adventure your
participation and involvement is part of the fun. You assist
the guide with the making and breaking of camp, quickly and
easily erecting and dismantling your tent and other bush
camp essentials. A camp assistant/
cook helps with the cooking.
Northern Trails Adventure
Participation Camping
Victoria Falls to Nairobi
21 Days (4 Nights hotel and 16 Nights camping)
Our incredible 3-week journey of discovery starts at one of the 7 natural wonders of
the world, the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls. At South Luangwa National Park we'll seek
out some of Africa's big cats, during day and evening game drives, before heading to
Malawi known as the warm heart of Africa. We’ll discover the fresh water jewel of Lake
Malawi where you can simply relax on the shores or try your hand at a multitude of
water sports. Be enthralled by Africa's tribal people and wildlife unchallenged in their
diversity. Explore the coastal reefs of exotic Zanzibar Island in the Indian Ocean, and
make your way down through the plains of the Serengeti to Africa's spectacular Rift
Valley, with the wide-open plains of East Africa stretched before you. The ‘Northern
Trails’ is an Adventurers delight!
