Dear Travellers,
If there is one thing we know about you, it is that you do not travel just to tick a destination off a list. You travel to feel something. To discover something that stops you in your tracks. To come back home a little different from when you left! So here is what we want you to picture. You wake up before sunrise, step into a safari jeep with your group, and experience the African bush come alive around you. Elephants crossing your path. Lions resting in the golden grass. A sky so wide and so full of colour it doesn't look real. Now imagine doing all of that with a group of people who truly get it- where accessibility isn't an afterthought, it's the entire plan. >From July 20th to 28th, we will take you on this amazing journey through South >Africa in an inclusive group where each and everybody is welcome, regardless >of their accessibility needs.
