KEEP SAFE..EXPLORE MORE

We have now arrived safe and sound to the middle of 2021 - Let us be grateful and sing Kumbaya. On a realistic note let us explore the places we are able to visit and enjoy the outdoors. From the great migration in Kenya and Tanzania, which will be for your eyes only mainly, or Kigali for daily sights and sounds, to the most innovative and organized sites in Dubai to the great islands of the Maldives where you can just squat a seat at the beach and chill out.

You’ll hear things like “I’m sleeping on the ground?”, or “I don’t like bugs”, or other similar things. But you most likely have ready answers for these objections.

Another Happy Customer

Dear Aparna,
You took good care of us. Also from the time we got out of the plane , finished customs thanks to your clear instructions. We did our covid test . Picked up our bags and were off to the covid wing at the Marriott. In about 7 hours we got our negative results and were allowed to come out of our hotel. On the road police stopped us . They saw we were tourists with a covid negative test and without any questions let our driver go. Everyone in the tourism industry took a covid test every 2 weeks. Social distancing was very good. Rules were followed. A great experience. The gorilla treking was amazing. They made sure we wore surgical masks and stayed 10m away from the gorillas. Everyone followed the rules . An amazing experience. Normally we should be 8 in a group to see gorillas we were only 3. Due to covid.
