Our Travel Style

 
Basic Style
The best holidays are often those which comprise all sorts of exciting experiences. Not everyone can afford the most expensive hotels or luxurious forms of transport, which is why we have created a basic version of our climbs. Enjoy Africa on a budget and stretch your dollars so you can holiday for longer. On basic trips, you get to experience the real Africa, meet some fantastic new friends and still experience the wonders of this great continent. Accommodation will be in clean 2 and 3 star hotels and camping. Meals will be nutritious and healthy and there will be shared transport. On climbs, your safety is assured with a guide and assistant guide. We ask you to pack carefully (see our equipment list) and not bring excessive luggage. On these trips, we still offer airport transfers so that we know that you are in safe hands right from the start. On safari we usually camp under the stars!

Standard Style
If you don't want to break the bank, yet still enjoy a few creature comforts on your holiday, then select a Standard style of service. On climbs, there are more porters, three hot meals a day and snacks. Pre- and post climb accommodation will be in tourist class hotels in well located areas all providing a good international style of service. You will be looked after throughout your trip by a dedicated guide. There are more inclusions (see detailed check-list) and there is a higher staff to customer ratio to ensure that your needs are well looked after throughout. On safari, we stay in lodges and travel in dedicated 4WD's.

Extreme Style
This style is for those of us with a taste for adventure.

You will enjoy varied and delicious menus throughout - and be served three hot meals a day. We also provide a separate wash tent and dining tent for you. You will be offered snacks to keep you going and delicious treats such as thick, creamy italian style hot chocolate. Additional fresh food is carried up the mountain by porters half-way into the trip to ensure a good variety of food. At night, we wrap you up and give you a hot water bottle to snuggle up with. To keep you fresh, enjoy a unique comfort kit with our compliments. Your dedicated guides will be there throughout your trip to ensure your comfort and safety throughout.
