Namibia and South Africa
Desert Dunes and Curious Blooms
23 August - 17 September 2006 - 26 days

“A resounding success!” … was heard from all who travelled on our 2005 tour. Join us now for this August's departure, which continues our passion to offer extraordinary journeys to our word’s unique places. Experience first hand the stark, yet stunning desert landscapes of Namibia and the springtime floral colour of South Africa’s Namaqualand and Cape Province.

Namibia is a country of vibrant colour – the deep red of desert dunes are set against brilliant blue skies, occasionally relieved by lush green oases. A highlight of our trip will be a two day luxury train safari aboard the DESERT EXPRESS. Another treat is the spectacular Fish River Canyon – 2nd only in size to the Grand Canyon. In South Africa we include not only many of the better known highlights but also (take out "to) rarely visited areas with an emphasis on the springtime beauty of Namaqualand and the Cape Province. While the emphasis of our tour will not specifically be on animals, we will certainly encounter a wide range of fauna and enjoy numerous game drives.

The inclusive tour cost is $13,970 per person twin share from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth. Hurry while space lasts, we are limited to just 22 participants. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION!

Madagascar
Unspoiled, Untouched, Undiscovered!
26 September - 17 October 2006 - 22 days

Come with us on an adventure to another world. Separated from Africa millions of years ago, Madagascar is often considered the “Eighth Continent” and has one of the most fascinating assemblages of unique fauna and flora on the planet. Most species are found nowhere else including: 30 species of Lemurs, which are found wild only in Madagascar; Exotic Birds – five families of birds are endemic to the island; Colourful chameleons, reptiles and giant butterflies; majestic baobab trees, the amazing “spiny desert”, carnivorous pitcher plants and stunning orchids.

We spend 16 wonderful days in Madagascar exploring the key wildlife reserves and national parks. Enjoy the springtime flora, vibrant and spectacular scenery and endless photographic opportunities. The friendly Malagasy people will charm you. At the beginning and end of the tour, we relax in our beachside hotel on the beautiful island of Mauritius. If you wish, you may also extend your travel to the verdant and volcanic French island of Réunion - renowned for the diversity of its landscapes.

The inclusive tour cost is $9,790 per person twin share from Sydney or Melbourne. Our tour is limited to 22 participants to ensure an in-depth, personal experience. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION!

“What I like about ring tail lemurs is that they’ve got bags of attitude. They remind me of football fans on their way to a match all waving their scarves at one another!”

John Cleese,
lemur lover.
