NEWS!

Our Kilimanjaro cleanup took place in May of this year with great success. The various teams of clients, guides and porters headed up the Rongai Route. In total, 300kg of rubbish was cleared off the mountain and carried out via the Marangu route by our incredible teams of porters. Well done to all of those who not only helped clean the mountain but who also made SUMMIT! And a big thanks to our dedicated guides. Our next cleanup will take place in November. Tour itinerary

The Perito Moreno Glacier ruptured on 8/9th July 2008, earlier than expected. Perito Moreno is one of three glaciers in Patagonia that are not retreating. Moving about 2m a day, with a height of about 60metres above water level and  250 km˛ of ice, this massive giant constantly advances forming a natural barrier between Lago Argentina and Brazo Rico – a higher glacial fed lake. Through the constant supply of glacial melt water, Brazo Rico can rise by 30m, causing extreme pressure build up behind the glacier. Over time, this natural symphony builds to a massive crescendo, when the terminus of the glacier ruptures and buckles under the pressure. The first rupture of Perito occurred in 1917 when it took an entire forest with it. Since then it has ruptured every 4-5 years, with it’s last performance on 8th - 9th of July this year, making history, as never before had the glacier ruptured, in winter.Tour itinerary

1) Is it possible to charter a boat on Galapagos?   Absolutely yes, it is possible. The Galapagos is a popular destination so it is a good idea to book a good 6 months in advance to secure a boat. Tour itinerary

2) We are two adults and two children looking to visit the Gorilla. My youngest is 9. Do you think he will be able to cope with the trek? The question is not really if he will be able to cope - as there will be no problem with that. The issue is that he is below the minimum age for trekking the Gorilla, which is set at 15 years. Tour itinerary

3)  I have heard that there are Tsetse flies in the Serengeti? How can we avoid them?  The Tsetse flies tend to congregate in certain areas of the Serengeti and other bushveld areas of East Africa- mainly in the woodland areas. They are less prevalent during the dry season. The best thing is to protect yourself from being bitten by wearing long sleeves and trousers (preferably lighter colours), and to use mosquito repellent. Fortunately, statistics show that only about 1 in 1000 tsetse flies are infected by the parasite that causes sleeping sickness. The guides will normally warn you before you enter a Tsetse area and request that all windows are closed until you are through it. Tour itinerary
