Give Something Back
Zimbabwe is an absolute paradise for anyone wanting to get a little more out of their trip than a simple break from work.  The country has a rich varied landscape from impressive and visually awe inspiring Victoria Falls to the flatlands of Gweru where you can head out on safari, even on horseback, to get up close and personal with the countries very special wildlife.  With so much focus on conservation you can make this a break that has real impact by choosing to volunteer in Africa.  There are numerous ways of getting involved and an opportunity to return home with a true feeling that you have given something back to this planet.  Whilst you are in Zimbabwe don’t miss visiting Domboshava to see the monkey’s and study the ancient rock art.
Fully Inclusive
Zanzibar is a magical destination and plays host to the Sea Cliff Resort.  This hotel is a must for honeymooners, couples or anyone wanting to experience complete luxury at its best.  The drive leading to the hotel is a 4km coconut plantation which sets the scene to this magnificent beachfront beauty.  You can spend your days enjoying all the hotel has to offer with long strolls along the white sands or venture into Zanzibar to discover its historical architecture.  The culture is full of soul and you will be completely welcomed by the country’s beautiful residents.  There is a real opportunity to understand African cuisine at its finest.  If you visualize the perfect break as you lying on your front, cocktail in hand whilst someone massages your worries away, then this is the place for you!
Adventure Of A Lifetime
Adrenalin Junkies beware! You will become addicted to what this country has to offer. Â Hiking up mountains, cage diving with sharks, Bungee jumping over Storms River or tracking black rhino are just a taster of what is on offer for the thrill seeker.
Cape Town, situated in South Africa is a popular and vibrant city. Â Offering up Table bay and Table mountain for your heart stopping indulgence to begin. Â Tandem jumping or individual free fall, base jumping followed by an afternoon of high octane water-sports, should keep you busy right up until the evening, where the vibrant bars and nightclubs of this fantastic city come to life.
