Access Africa - Acacia ensures Africa is accessible to all
By Press Release
Acacia Adventure Holidays presents Access Africa, a portfolio of adventures
for disabled and visually impaired travellers
[UKPRwire, Wed May 23 2007] Overland adventure is a rapidly growing choice
for those who want to immerse themselves in the real destination rather than
simply hit the tourist spots, but it's still rare to see mainstream
companies actively devising tours for disabled and visually impaired
travellers. Acacia
Adventure Holidays is one tour operator balancing the equation with Access
Africa, a portfolio of adventures, which incorporate off the beaten track
places
and rich experiences in Southern Africa.
The current portfolio covers Namibia, Botswana and South Africa with custom
made safaris delving into the continents pristine wilderness areas - the
Kalahari,
Okavango Delta, and Etosha National Park, to name but a few. Acacia also
comes fully prepared with a range of equipment ensuring safety and peace of
mind
for adventurers*.
Concentrating on the four basic senses of smell, touch, taste and hearing, A
Touch of Cape Town is a celebration of the sensual for the visually
impaired.
Highlights include a visit to a local wine estate where travellers crush and
press the grapes between their toes; a personal insight and lesson in
African
drumming followed by an evening of traditional Marimba music; and a mornings
game drive in Solole Game Reserve with knowledgeable guides unearthing the
sensory world of flora and fauna. Harold Porter also ensures a feast for the
senses, the garden set between mountain and sea in the heart of the Fynbos
region, where the flora is at its richest. Acacia Adventure Holidays 6-day
tour costs £1,895pp (based on two people sharing) with year round
departures.

Moremi Game Reserve situated in the magical Okavango Delta - a three night
stay in the true wilds of the African Bush. A paradise for birds, plains
game
and predators, Moremi offers excellent opportunities for game viewing -
sundowners and campfires making this the ultimate mix of relaxation and
adventure.
