Egypt - Mark Bradshaw
After a long hard year away at university, the time had come for a family vacation. Egypt had been one of those places that my parents, my sister and I had often dreamed about visiting, so it was thus decided. I was especially thrilled, having taken an Egyptian archaeology course during the spring term, and I was eager to see the monuments and the tombs of these fascinating ancient peoples... |

Acacia - East African Explorer - Mark Bradshaw
Last year, as an adventure before university, I joined the East African Explorer, an Acacia Overland safari from Johannesburg to Nairobi. I did not know quite what to expect, but over the course of this thrilling adventure I learned some important points for other prospective Overlanders. |

The Seychelles - Melissa Jo
Kooijman
I think the Seychelles is a very unique
beach destination. I have been to Zanzibar and Mombasa before,
but I really enjoyed the Seychelles. I found there is a lot
more to do activity wise, and I love the fact that it is so
easy to island hop which makes the destination so unique. Each
island is different from the next, and each island is special
in it’s own way. ... |

The camp is small and intimate with six comfortably furnished safari tents, each with its own lavish bathroom, with the option of a large, outdoor and private shower... |

On a recent trip to Botswana
in southern Africa I had a close encounter of the Buffalo
kind - Cape Buffalo, that is.
These ancient mammals roam in large herds over much of
Sub Saharan Africa. Buffalo - fully 1700 lbs when grown
are reputed to be one of the most dangerous animals found
in Africa... |

Trip
To East Africa - Melissa Jo Kooijman
This was my first trip to Africa as
a travel agent, but I have been to Africa 2 previous times.
In 1996 I went to Kenya for 3 months camping in pop up
tents on a study in Africa program through Langara College.
Highlights from the trip were my Natural History class
where I went on game drives to study the animals and observe
the surroundings... |

Zambezi
Canoe Trip - Christine Boecker
It was August, the middle of
the African winter when I joined a group of canoeists
to conquer the mighty Zambezi River. The grass was brown,
the trees bare and the midday heat was bearable. It's
the perfect time for game viewing and camping - the rainy
season only starts in October... |

Kwando Safaris in Botswana - Melissa Jo Kooijman
First of all I want to thank Kwando
for hosting my husband and I on an absolute trip of a
lifetime. It was the first time Steve had been to Africa
and my first time to Botswana, and now Steve wants to
move to Zambia. He definitely caught the Africa bug.
I really think Kwando has an excellent product, and after
seeing it first hand it makes my job at a lot easier
to sell because I am confident in the product and the
service... |
