Last July, I had the pleasure of assisting a group of high school graduates with their trip to Rwanda. During my daily communication with the group leader, I found out that the students were members of Richard Rwanda IMPUHWE and had been raising funds through their bake sales, car washes and various other fund raising activities to go and visit the school that they had financially supported since the first grade.

Reading their story brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. It gave me a great joy to know that, despite all the negative sentiments towards the younger generation’s careless and indifferent attitude, that social consciousness is still alive. Young kids do care for the well being of their community, and their charitable hands could reach even to the furthest points of the globe. (Read More…)

Jessica,

…I was so excited to send a booking your way.  Mirlin and Nora  (in the air department) have been so helpful.  It was a learning experience for me as this is my first African Safari.  The client walked in with two itineraries from the internet.  With Mirlin’s expertise we found an itinerary that fit for the time of year and maximum animal viewing.

African Travel Rocks!

Hey Margie,

Just got back from our safari/vacation and just wanted to say “Many and sincere thanks”.  That was the finest vacation we have every had and we’ve taken plenty over the past 20 years.  Very professionally put together and absolutely everything was taken care of for us.  So thank you for all your efforts.  You could not have done more for us.

By the way, Arathusa Lodge was superb in every way.  Highly recommended.  Keep sending folks there.  You cannot go wrong.

Again thanks, 

Pete & Linda Snyder

One of the highlights from all my trips to Africa was swimming in the “Devil’s Pool.”   This is done as part of an excursion to Livingstone Island on the Zambia side of the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River and is only possible in the dry season (September-December usually) when the water is low and the current is not as strong as usual.

We took off by boat to Livingstone Island from right behind the Royal Livingstone Hotel.  On arrival at the island, we found a beautiful table set under a canopy tent and had a lunch of salads, couscous, cold chicken, cold beef, scotch eggs, sausages and plenty of drinks! (Read More…)
