Case Studies

Morocco is one of the best budget expedition destinations. Through our tour operator connections we designed a 10 day programme involving a project to build an incinerator in a remote mountain village, 2 days of trekking, a multi-day camel trek in the Sahara and time to explore the bustling city of Marrakech.

A tailor-made expedition involving a full traverse of Mt. Kenya (4895m) followed by a short safari in Sweetwater and Lake Nakuru game reserves. Additional days for acclimatisation were included and highly experienced, high altitude guides assigned to the group.

An adventure tour enabling the students to see the real Egypt. In addition to the main archaeological focus of the trip, we arranged a visit to a Nubian village for dinner and dancing, a camel ride to remote ruins and a trip in a traditional Felucca sailing boat. Local guides and locally run accommodation added depth to the Egypt experience.

An introductory trekking, white water rafting and cultural tour of India taking in the foothills of the Himalaya, Delhi and Agra.

A tailored expedition involving 6 days at the link school in Kumasi as well as a walking safari in Mole National Park, visits to the slave trading castles of Cape Coast, stilt villages, monkey sanctuaries, rainforest canopy walkways, tribal villages, cloth co-operatives, sacred shrines and the glorious beaches of the Gulf of Guinea

Various destinations were discussed, including Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, before finally agreeing on Venezuela as the preferred option. The finalised itinerary included a remote trek to the summit plateau of Auyantepui, a 4 day canoe journey to the base of Angel Falls, and a week long jungle-river trip deep into Indian tribal lands to stay with the Shirian tribal people and learn about their way of life. The final few days we spent with a well earned rest on the beaches of the Caribbean coast.

The Sinai Desert in Egypt is one of the most beautiful in the world, offering an ideal introduction to expeditions. We put together an 8 day trip involving a 5 day point to point trek. Accommodation was in traditional Bedouin tents, or simply a roll mat laid out on the ground. Also included was an ascent of Mt. Sinai and the last day was spent snorkelling and swimming in the Red Sea.
