To: Mike Wood <mikew@...>


Good Morning,



As you are all aware Mike Wood purchased the Peregrine Adventures travel
agency in Perth last year and together with Mike’s Mountain Designs business
can now offer a more complete travel and outfitting service to our many
adventure orientated clients. Mike has been successfully leading treks all
over the world for many years and will be leading a special trek to the
remote Nar Phu area of Nepal in October.



We now also have planned a trek to the top of Africa, Kilimanjaro departing
Perth 30 January, 2010 to be escorted by Hugh Trivett, owner of the Mountain
Designs stores in Fremantle and Claremont. We would like to invite you on
this adventurous trip to Africa which is going to include climbing
Kilimanjaro, game viewing in the Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater and chilling
on the beaches of Zanzibar on the way home.



The trip is scheduled January 2010 and will take about 16 days. The first
week will be spent summiting the highest free standing mountain in the world
and give us the opportunity to look out over Africa from her highest point.
We will then fly to the Serengeti for a few days of game viewing in one of
the most densely populated game parks in Africa followed by a day / night in
the crater. We will end the trip with a stop over in Zanzibar for everyone
to relax on the beaches of Zanzibar and enjoy all the pleasures it has to
offer.



During our time on Kilimanjaro we will hike for 80km, gain more than four
kilometers in altitude, traverse rain forest, moor land, alpine desert, snow
fields and ice cliffs and stand on the roof of the continent. Time in the
Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater will be spent living in a comfortable tent
camp with every comfort being taken care of and game viewing drives through
some of the best areas of the park.



The whole trek will cost $AUD10,500 including international and domestic
flights, all hotels, transfers, all food while on trek and Hugh will be
leading the trek from Perth and back to Perth. Some things that are
not included in the cost are travel insurance and visa's (available through
the Peregrine Perth office) and some equipment like boots and a daypack. A
complete equipment list will be provided and after hours Gear Talk, and 20%
discount at Mountain Designs, will be available for all trekkers.



There will be an information evening on the trek to be held at the new
Peregrine Perth Theatrette 862 Hay St on Thursday June 25th 6pm for all
those interested in joining the group. Bookings are essential so please
RSVP. There are only 15 places available for this trek in keeping with our
small group travel ideals. For more information please contact Jos at
Peregrine WA on jos@... ,or by phone on 08 9321 1259.
