The Creator of these African Bush Camps – Beks

“I met this young man on the first group trip I escorted to Botswana about 15 yrs ago.
His name is Beks, he was one of the camp managers at Matusadona Water camp on Lake Kariba.
A splendid camp where you had to canoe to get to each floating bungalow
& main camp among the Hippos and crocks!
We became friends & each evening he would tell me of his plans.
He had a dream, he was 26!
He wanted to build wonderful camps in Zimbabwe where he was from, he had specific ideas…….
The rest is history!
Welcome to his award-winning camps in Zimbabwe!”

ODWIRA FESTIVAL 

(Special Event) 

12 DAYS / 11 NIGHTS 

Scheduled departure date from Lome in 2019: 

Apr 12th 

Minimum 2 – Maximum 16 participants 

Our fantastic cultural odyssey to the most remote regions of Ghana, Togo and Benin to discover lost tribal worlds ruled by traditional chiefs and ancient spirits. 

Along the coast, in the heart of voodoo original regions, we encounter practitioners, watch trance-dances and learn about the great influence voodoo spirits still have on people. 

Heading inland from the forest to the savannah, we discover the Taneka tribe on a rocky mountain, then the Tamberma with their fairy-tale clay adobe castles and finally we enter the Ashanti kingdom in Kumasi forests. 

We end our tour exploring the former Gold Coast, with the largest European castles in Africa; centuries remain of gold and slave trade. 

Indeed the most complete and spectacular way to discover West Africa rich patrimony of Tribes, Kingdoms, festivals and ceremonies. 

Great experience combined with the choice of comfortable accommodations. 

For travellers who want to get acquainted with this unique region … and love Africa! 

Apr 21st 2019, the Ashanti people will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Reign of their King with big Akwasidae.

This particular festival will be quite unique as it will also incorporate for the first time in many years the ODWIRA FESTIVAL, meaning the cleansing and purification of the souls by several religious rituals.

Apart from one of these main traditional events, participants to the tour will always attend the following events:

– an interesting voodoo ceremony

– a spectacular fire dance

– an “Ashanti funeral”: festive celebration that consecrates the return of the spirit of an ancestor.

Ultimate Safaris believes in providing great opportunities for families to come on safari. Our positive approach means that we allocate a specialist guide to family safaris who is trained and caring, and who can help to inspire children to learn and love the wilderness.

Those families who choose to book a ‘Family Safari’ have their own private vehicle and their own guide who will look after them from the start to the end of their Namibian safari, and automatically qualify for our GUIDED IN TRAINING program.

The program varies for each family and is based partly on the ages, sex, and interests of the children. Our guide’s aim is to not only keep the children entertained but also to ensure that they learn about what they get to see. Generally, activities include mammal, bird and plant identification as well as learning about night sounds and tracking some of the smaller creatures such as lizards and beetles. For family safaris, we also choose to stay in camps/lodges/hotels where staff are accustomed to children and also happy to involve the children in duties where possible – and they are often found helping to prepare snacks in the kitchen with the chefs (NOTE: this is obviously subject to the particular camps/lodges/hotels used). In essence, the children are either busy or asleep, and always happy – and busy children ultimately mean a relaxing holiday for their parents!

Family safaris are not in any way lesser or ‘watered down’ safaris; they still offer great areas, top guides and excellent experiences, but with the high degree of flexibility that families often need.

The Imperial Cities and The South of Morocco

Morocco is a huge country with large distances between the cities. We have created this full country sightseeing itinerary so you are able to see all there is on offer in Morocco. We can trim down the time frame to suit everyone’s different interests and holiday time. There are different modules we can add and drop, it can be pretty flexible.

Traveling overland by vehicle is the best way to visit Morocco. Domestic flights are not available in the south of Morocco. There is a flight now from Marrakesh to Fez a few times a week which is new.

Overland touring in Morocco allows you to visit many part of the country and experience the extreme diversity. Offering excellent vehicles with very professional drivers, water and WIFI offer a very private service.

The itinerary includes full or half day hikes, the mountain guides discuss with guests the level of hikes wanted based on your ability; moderate or more difficult.

Weather:
Morocco is a country of 4 seasons in one day! However, and in general, the best time to visit Morocco is March until mid-June, September, October and November.

End of June, July and August the weather is hot, in this time we suggest to visit one imperial city plus the coast or the Mountains.

December, January and February are winter months but most of the time days are sunny, it gets cold at night.
