The local schools in East Africa are very different to what we are used to in the western world. We have established a relationship with a school along our route which we try to visit on every tour and help in a small way with practical gifts etc. Please contact us for more information regarding these school visits and how you may be able to help them. Mountain Gorillas – Uganda is home to half the world’s remaining population of mountain gorillas the rest being in neighbouring Rwanda and Congo (approx 600 in total). If you can we recommend taking the time for a 4 or 5 day safari extension to Western Uganda or into Rwanda to experience these magnificent primates. Please contact us for suggested itineraries and contact details for local Ugandan safari operators to organize this for you. Departure dates for 2008: Sat 31st May to Fri 13th June 2008. Departure dates for 2009: Sat 30th May to Fri 12th June 2008. What is Adventure biking? - We get off the beaten track onto remote and little used dirt roads as much as possible. Some of the time we use paved roads and also at times single track, the later with not too much technical difficulty. There is sometimes the opportunity for getting off the main tracks and onto some more serious off road biking if you wish. - All our biking is vehicle supported which means all your gear is carried for you. Lunch and water are always at hand. - If you need a break from the saddle you can ride in the vehicle at any time. - You don’t need to be a fitness fanatic to come with us, but a reasonable standard of fitness is required and makes your trip more enjoyable. - This trip is not about covering as many miles as possible. It is about experiencing Africa from a different perspective, meeting the local people and experiencing the sights sounds and smells of Africa. You will become part of the landscape and environment we are passing through, merging with the people and wildlife that we encounter along the way. - People who come with us enjoy the active outdoors and want something different in a holiday. By doing one of our trips you’re not just a spectator, but part of the scene getting to touch, smell and see what’s going on from close-up rather than as a passer-by. Notes: Price Includes:
