• 'A' is for Action

  You've not come all this way to bake on a sun lounger so unleash your inner daredevil on a whitewater rafting trip along the class V rapids of the Zambezi, microlight through the mists of Victoria Falls or zip line through the jungle canopy in Costa Rica.

• Meet the locals

  Interact with people living in remote communities, some scarcely touched by Western culture, and experience firsthand their ancient cultures and traditions. Eat with local families, join in festivals and ceremonies, and visit schools. We'll get you up close and personal to give you authentic insight into the fascinating lives of others.
