New Itineraries
|
 |
An exciting and new
type of tour has been added to the Travel Center. These are a selection of East
Africa public transport trips for the adventurous traveler who wishes to
experience Africa alongside the many Africans going about their daily life but
harbors concerns on safety and the day to day organization of the trip.
Public transport trips offer travelers the opportunity to discover Africa for
themselves but under the guidance of an experienced trip leader, someone who
will organize all transport, accommodation and activities on route, as well as
advising travelers about money matters, providing information & giving
genuine travel advice, thus allowing the travelers the time to get the most out
of their adventure without the unnecessary stress of organizing day to day
travels. This leaves more time to meeting the locals, exploring the surrounds
and deciding their own opinion on the different countries and cultures they
will get to immerse themselves with on route.
