Celebrities Climb Kilimanjaro
Chris Moyles, Cheryl Cole, Gary Barlow and Ronan Keating are
amongst a group of UK celebrities in training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in aid
of Comic Relief this February. While not a likely group of trekkers, they just
go to prove that anyone can give it a go as long as you’re active,
healthy and willing to put in a bit of training beforehand. They’re
starting their trek within the next two weeks and for anyone on our own
Kilimanjaro treks who spot any of the celebs on the mountain and can prove it
with a photo, we will give £5 to Comic Relief. Send
your photos to us here. Trek to the roof of Africa on our Kilimanjaro

Lions in Livingstone!
January saw some very special arrivals in Livingstone,
Zambia, in the form a group of lion cubs. The cubs are between 3 and 16 months
and all rescue animals, due to be rehabilitated and released into the wild when
older. In the meantime, visitors to Livingstone will be able to take a
‘Walking with Lions’ encounter and spend a supervised 90 minutes
with them in the bush, learning about their species and the work done by the
conservation project. It’s a brilliant alternative to white water rafting
at nearby Victoria Falls but no less exciting!

Indaba 2009 hits Durban
The Acacia team will be out in force again at this
year’s Indaba industry travel show, along with one of the trucks from
their overland fleet. The Indaba show, held in Durban every year, will run in

Acacia’s truck, check out its facilities and equipment and hold meetings
with the team to discuss trade working relationships. Acacia is confident that
this year will offer great opportunities for their continued success. With over
1800 delegates expected, this year is set to be biggest and best yet.
