TANTALIZING EAST AFRICA

By Andy Summa

East Africa has tantalized foreigners for generations, with Kilamanjaro representing one of the most beautiful and mysterious destinations in the world. Its lush rainforest, dense wildlife population and breathtaking scenery are unrivaled on the African continent.

Kilimanjaro Adventure Travel offers a wide range of safaris, from camping safaris to luxury flying safaris, or underwater safaris. They offer almost every type of accommodation imaginable -- bush camp, luxury tented camp, lodges and budget hotels.

But one of the most popular safaris is the Gorilla Safari. The Mountain Gorilla is one of the most endangered of all the world’s large mammals, with less than 600 left in the world. On this safari, you trek their rainforest habitat and are able to observe them in their natural setting.

Kilimanjaro Adventure Travel donates a portion of profits to animal protection agencies such as RhinoArk, Mountain Gorilla and Rain Forest Direct Aid and the World Society for the Protection of Animals.

For more information, check out www.kilimanjaro.com.

FIND THE PERFECT ECO-TOUR FOR YOU

By Andy Summa

If your idea of relaxation is a polished pre-packaged vacation at a 700-room Holiday Inn in Cancun, you’re probably not going to be interested in www.EarthFoot.org, a small eco-travel hub.

At EarthFoot, you’ll find about 150 small-scale ecotours offered by 120 independent hosts in 40 countries. You’ll find deals like a five-day hike in Alaska‘s beautiful Denali region. Or you can stay with a family at a tribal homestay in Zimbabwe. Or bird watching in the Manu Biosphere Reserve in Peru.

You won’t have a short list of options. And pricing is very reasonable, even for the budget traveler. To hike with a naturalist in Northwestern Thailand’s Hill Country costs about $200/person, and a week in eco-bungalow in the Solomon Islands runs about $100 per person per day.

EarthFoot also offers tours for those interested in photography, spirituality, geology and trail riding.
