Tour Host Pick of the Month
by Sheri Leigh

Guerba World Travel Ltd.

Guerba World Travel Ltd. started out over 20 years ago offering overland treks across Africa. These journeys of mythic proportion evoke the magic of explorations long past and are still a staple of the company’s itineraries. Today it also offers a vast number of trips throughout the continent.

Hiking adventures to Africa’s highest peaks include Tanzania’s Mt. Kilimanjaro, Uganda’s Mt. Stanley and Kenya’s Mt. Kenya. These journeys can be combined with camping or lodge safari programs. A multi-day hike into the remote Dogon villages along Bandiagara Escarpment and three-day boat journey are part of Guerba’s “Journey to Timbuctoo.” Family adventures include Kenya, Zanzibar and Morocco.

On the other side of the world in the Himalayas, more than 40 Guerba treks allow the adventurous traveler to explore the land and people where no bus tour can ever imagine going. Luckily, for us physically timid travelers, Guerba offers a grand selection of cultural adventures as well.

By grading all its journeys 1-6 for physical requirements (1 is easiest; 6 is hardest), people can select the trip that best matches their abilities. In conjunction with Epic Expeditions, Guerba also offers an overland safari for wheelchair-bound travelers.

The thing most striking for me about this company is its dedication to improving the lives of the people its clients meet on their journeys. Dedicated to responsible tourism, Guerba has featured a series of fundraising events to help the communities it visits.

A great team, great trips and a determination to make the world a better place for everyone – now that is a CulturalTravels.com Tour Host of the Month!
