Don’t worry, it’s not all hard work! After the community, cultural and endurance challenges you’ll be in need of a little bit of R&R so we’ve got a real treat lined up for you! Africa is not all about poverty, we want to give you the chance to experience the other side of the culture here, with two very special experiences.

1 Day Safari

You simply cannot visit Africa without experiencing a safari, and the Ngorogoro crater is the perfect place to see a diverse range of wildlife.

A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Ngorogoro crater formed when a giant volcano errupted and collapsed upon itself some 2 – 3 million years ago. The crater is said to be home to the highest concentration of mammalian predators in Africa, so we are sure to see Elephants, Lions, Wildebeest and much more besides. The crater is the only conservation area in Tanzania providing protection status for wildlife whilst allowing human habitation. Land use is controlled to prevent negative effects on the wildlife population. For example, cultivation is prohibited at all but subsistence levels.

Beach Retreat

What’s more, you’ll also get a chance to rest at a yet to be revealed beach location. This aspect of the trip will take up only a small portion of out time, but you deserve it. However, we don’t want you to think that the whole point of the trip is to go sit on a beach (because it isn’t!) so we’ll reveal more details to the succesful candidates at a later stage.

NB: This aspect of the programme is paid for by a portion of your non-refundable deposit and is therefore not something you will have fundraised. As a result, you can legitimately say that all the money you fundraise is actually going towards the community projects the programme focuses on. This is important to note as it will make your fundraising a lot easier if you are clear to people that this is not a holiday, and any money they donate is actually going to help impoverished communities.
