"Of all our Africa experiences, one of our major
expeditions was the descent of the Omo River, following the route of
Vittorio Bottego's 1895 adventure in Ethiopia. We traveled the same
route during the years of the Mengistu regime and although the country
had hard and severe rules at the time, the ministries and the local
government offices helped us in our exploration, giving us the
opportunity to achieve our dream!"
At the time, no one knew about the tribes with the
lip-plates and the wildest and richest natural reserve of
crocodiles where the Mursi people live. Just after that, we
explored the most western region of Ethiopia on foot, climbing
mountains and crossing rivers to reach the Surma tribes.
Ethiopia has since rebuilt it's tourist industry and we would like
thank NTO, The Ethiopia Government, Ethiopian Airlines in
Milano and Addis Ababa for all their support through the many years we
took groups along these routes.
These were still the years of
great adventures: in the 70's in the southern corner of Sudan
with the Nubas, living in Bamako among the Dogon,
and the heart of Nigeria gave us deep experiences of Black
African Life, their power and their beliefs, their culture and
their hopes. Together with the African Continent we have
experienced a life so very different from the European and American
one.
Mr Oscar Perrotti,
a very adventurous Italian dentist with a great love of movies,
followed us on many of our adventures and produced a great number
of documentaries which have been repeatedly broadcast on many
television channels around the world. We gave him and his wife,
Carla Perrotti, the logistical support for the long and difficult
overland crossing of the Off Limits-Sector of the Kalahari
Desert and many other deserts in the world.
These adventures have provided
us with the experience necessary to provide our customers the strength
and confidence they need to travel in Africa.
Since then, our work has been
refined, and has now expanded to provide the most luxurious trips in
the wildest areas. The most important factor in traveling in Africa
is that, because there is so much variety, any travel experience has
to be tailored to each persons needs and requirements.
In the 90's Africa is no
longer a mysterious land, but to many people it is still has a very
"wild" image": Through our experience, we will alleviate those fears;
we want to make these people's dreams come true - our
experience means that guests to Africa no longer have to learn the
hard way.
Come
and feel the free spirit of Africa!
