Where Adventure Begins
Samarkand is truly a jewel of the ancient and modern Silk Road. There is the exquisite jade mausoleum of Gur-i-Emir, the resting place of Tamerlane. Perhaps the greatest treasure is Registan Square, Tamerlane's outstanding creation, a vast complex of domes and minarets, mosques and medrassas. There is the equally beautiful necropolis of Shah-i-Zinda and the old observatory of Uleg Beg, the greatest Muslim astronomer.
Declared a World Heritage Site, the Selous Game Reserve is a vast region of largely unexplored wilderness teeming with wildlife and with very few roads through its interior. Bisected by the Rufiji River, the Selous is one of the most remote parks in Africa. It is also one of the only large game reserves in Tanzania that allows walking safaris, enabling wildlife enthusiasts the chance to explore the African wilderness on foot. http://goo.gl/leCJl
CAPE AGULHAS, Western Cape
Cape Agulhas is the southernmost point of Africa - a beautiful coast line where the lovely hinterland often gets overlooked by people who travel straight from Cape Town to the Garden Route. But take the time to explore and you may come across some lovely Cape Dutch houses or the forgotten Shipwreck Museum in Bredasdorp
Where Adventure Begins
Pantanal Brazil - the world largest wetland - home to animals like jaguar, capybara, caiman, deer and Howler and Capuchin Monkeys, as well as a huge number of bird species: the endangered Hyacinth Macaw, Jabiru Storks and the Roseate Spoonbill. Canoe trips, horse riding, trail walking, catch and release fishing and photographic safaris are but some of the activities. In the evening there will be the chance to join a night safari so we can see some of the nocturnal animals and birds.
