General Information

It has never been our intention to have a printed adventure holiday brochure for our adventure trips - we like trees!  The vast majority of printed brochures are wasted, and therefore ineffective; meaning natural resources being needlessly used up.  Not only that but we could not readily have either included the depth of information we would like to provide, or keep it regularly updated in a printed brochure.  We hope in time that other travel companies will think and do the same as us.

So this website is our e-brochure, we hope you like it.  A website allows us to include all the relevant information we think is useful. This also means we are able to offer far more information about each trip - and general information you may wish to know about the countries, people etc.  We have also been able to try and address concerns and highlight things the traveller should be aware of, such as specific travel and health advice, and altitude awareness.

Brochures are generally designed and printed annually, a long time before any trips for that year have departed.  For 2 weeks in Ibiza this doesn't really matter, but in adventure travel when visiting remote natural destinations it can quite quickly become out of date and wrong.  Take the sudden closure of the Western Breach route on Kili in January 2006 - many brochures were still selling it until the following year!  We can also keep prices up to date, reflecting movements in the US$ exchange rate.  Our website can be kept up to date far more easily, giving current and correct information to people wishing to go on an adventure trip.

Some people prefer printed material to read, instead of sitting at a computer screen - but our website includes information and itineraries for each trip that can be viewed online or downloaded individually and printed out at home; in fact, any page you choose from the website can be printed too.
