Mali and the Festival Au Desert
29 Dec 2010
to
14 Jan 2011

Venus Adventures


Mali is just one of those places that gets under your skin and leaves you with indescribably rich memories. From the chaotic capital of Bamako, to the fabled city of Timbuktu, you will find that everyday is in some way an indelible adventure.

Mali may be financially poor, but socially it is very rich – there are many different Malian peoples – Fulani, Bambara, Songhai, Tuareg to name but a few - all living peacefully side by side, and bonded by their rhythmical music and positive attitudes. We get to experience all this at the infamous Festival au Desert, the highlight of our journey.

This trip is definitely for the more adventurous – African travel is not always convenient and not always as planned – but very real, very different and very rewarding.

Africa is changing rapidly, and each day this continent retreats further from the “wild Africa” that we want to sustain. Join Adventurewomen in Kenya, East Africa in 2011 and savor a remarkable and very special African safari, a unique African wildlife and humanitarian adventure in the rich landscapes of Kenya. Get to know the African people whose cultures and traditions in the Maasai Mara have existed for centuries, and offer your support and aid to help them overcome multiple barriers and allow them to flourish long after we have returned home. Be part of educating young Kenyan children about African wildlife conservation and visit a Chimpanzee Sanctuary operated by the Jane Goodall Institute and an elephant orphanage. Stay in an African ecotourism camp that is part of a Maasai community project, and get to know the “Nanyuki spinners,” a successful african women’s project to provide livelihoods for single mothers.
