Why not join a small group adventure and explore South Afrcia's famous garden route by travelling from Kruger to Cape Town. (URS)
Day 1 Victoria Falls/ Livingstone
The roar of the Victoria Falls evokes an awed silence from all who visit it and the spray rising up from the bottom of the gorge can reach over 400 m above the waterfall. The surrounding basalt cliffs are covered in lush forests where a first glimpse of big game might be had.
Days 2-3 Chobe National Park
A slow cruise along the winding blue-green waters of the Zambezi provides an opportunity to spot wildlife including hippos, elephants and all kinds of wonderful birds. Then the land safari kicks off at dawn in the Chobe, with game drives all over the grasslands, passing watery marshes pulsing with a profusion of animals. At night, experience the haunting sounds of the savannah before drifting off to sleep in a comfortable bush camp.
Day 4 Victoria Falls/ Livingstone
The adventure ends amongst the historic tin-roofed Victorian houses of action-packed Livingstone.

On 07 June the Australian Government issued an updated travel warning for East Timor strongly advising against travel to East Timor because of the extremely dangerous security situation. Australians in the country are advised to leave. The Travel Warning remains at Category 5 - Do Not Travel.
On Tuesday 07 June we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of our East Timor trips scheduled to depart in 2006. All travellers will be notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another trip or obtain a full refund (land content only). We very much regret having to take this action and our thoughts and sympathies are with the people of East Timor during this troubled time.
We are confident of being able to resume our normal schedule of trips to East Timor in 2007 and hope that those travellers who have had to cancel their plans this year will travel with us to East Timor in 2007.
