Venture Overview

From the Plains of Serengeti to the deserts in the north and the snow-capped peaks on the Equator, East Africa has a greater variety of wildlife habitats than anywhere else in the world. The corresponding diversity of animal species and tribes who share these lands is simply staggering. The "Big Five", two 5,000m peaks and five magnificent habitats, you're hard-pressed to find more diversity in such a compact area anywhere else on Earth.

Three phases make one Venture:

• Make the African connection - learn the basics of Swahili
• Join our three development projects in Tanzania and Uganda to experience life at the grass roots level
• Explore off the beaten track from the Serengeti to lake Victoria and from the Great Rift Valley to the summit of Kilimanjaro

Venture Highlights

• Know before you Go! Our three-day Travel Safety Course in the UK gets you ready for departure.
• Go Africa! Make the most of your time by learning basic Swahili and get out and about with the local people
• Make your travels make a difference to the world. Join our community development projects in Tanzania and Uganda and provide direct aid to the disadvantaged.
• Discovery expedition from Serengeti to Kili. Cross the Serengeti plains to the shores of Lake Victoria. Cross the lake and explore the Mountains of the Moon in Uganda. Raft the Nile before climbing Africa's highest peaks. Stand on top of the world at the summit of Kili!
• New friends and the time of your life. Share your travel experience with like-minded people. Travel companions often become friends for life.

Thinking about onward travel?

During “Kili” Venture you’ll explore an extensive part of East Africa, but there’s more - so when it’s all over, why not stay out and travel to other parts of the continent? Zanzibar is a favourite island destination, the beaches are fabulous and you can learn to Scuba dive and gain your PADI qualification. Further afield you can fly or travel overland to southern Africa where South Africa, Zambia, Namibia and even Mozambique are popular destinations. VentureCo staff have explored throughout the Magreb in north Africa, the Sahara & Sahel (an accumulation of five separate trans-Sahara expeditions) the jungles of the Congo basin; the grasslands of east Africa and Southern Africa from the Cape to Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. We look forward to the chance of discussing your travel plans with you. Airline connections are available to incorporate Africa into a Round the World travel plan.
