ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

Gracia and I will be on the July 19-August 2 trip, and we'd enjoy hearing from others who are going then.

We are going Sept 2013. I found a blog from a women who did this trip the same month in 2011. She included a lot of great stories and very useful trip and packing information.

I am going on the June 2013 Wild Africa trip. What innoculations, etc. do I really need for Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe besides the yellow fever shot and malaria pills? Info gathered is confusing.

My husband and I will be on this trip as well. My reading of the materials is just yellow fever and malaria pills. We went to Peru last year, and the travel clinic recommended typhoid as well. My GP mentioned it as well this spring, but I think it's required. Ann

We are going on the May 15 S. African trip. Not sure about what clothes to bring - shoes, hats, gloves, flannel p.j.'s. What about ladies handbags? Leave those at home? Fanny packs for pass ports and cash? HELP!!! Polly

I will see you in a few days then. I'd leave handbags at home other than something to carry daily supplies in. Camera, binoculars, perhaps a baggy with some snacks. Fany packs are safer than a shoulder bag but I will keep my PP in a holder like the one they recently sent us. That goes under my shirt so less accessable. Doesn't sound like we will need to carry around much money except for a very few days.

Without bring supplies for the school and orphanage I can easily get to or under 33 pounds. Going to be difficult if I thow in a few lbs. of supplies.

Am considering this trip either August or September 2013. Would like a roommate for either trip. Sept. appears to only have wait list for singles.

You might try signing up for a double (where Road Scholar then assigns a roommate to you.) I've signed up for the Sept 13 trip by doing that.

They would not let me do that, said "no roommate matching" on this trip. Signed up for next year.

I'm doing this program in Sep 2013 and I'm wondering if anyone had reading recommendations about Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe. I'd be interested in the wildlife, history, culture, etc.
