Potential Holidays
We can offer a wide range of holidays (of varying length and degrees of luxury) allowing you to enjoy/explore/relax after your project.
We appreciate many grumpies will want a bit of comfort and luxury after a project which may have been in a village without electricity or running water.
The holidays listed below which have a degree of luxury (and therefore will be a bit more expensive) are marked with a *.
We can even organise bespoke holidays for you (eg a week comprising a safari in Tanzania and a beach resort in Zanzibar). Just let us know what you are looking for.
Ghana:
- 21 days overland to Timbuktu - Djenne in Birkino Faso, Dogon country in Mali, Beaches and rainforests in Ghana
- 8 days around Ghana - Slave castles, stunning beaches, wildlife and rainforests *
Tanzania:
- 10 days Serengeti Lodge Safari - Game drives in Serengeti and Tarangire game parks, Ngorongo crater and Arusha. *
- 15 days Selous and Spice Islands - Internal flights taking you to Selous game reserve, Mafia Island and Zanzibar.
Please note this is just a sample of the wide range of holidays from 6 to 77 days - and of varying degrees of comfort - that we can arrange for you. Just give us a call and tell us what you would like to do and we will try to find something that suits you.
