Here Andean condors soar on air currents, guanacos graze in the alpine meadows and flightless nandúes roam the wind-whipped prairies. With the jagged granite spires of the Torres del Paine and the 200-foot-high, 3-mile-wide river of ice known as the Perito Moreno Glacier, it`s easy to understand why explorers, adventurers - and the occasional outlaw - have been drawn to the area for centuries. Complementing the untrammeled beauty of the landscape, each night`s hotel welcomes us with plenty of creature comforts. 9 9 days/8 nights http://beaconimages2.peak15systems.com/WCPQ-patagonia-walking_Backroads.jpg 603 http://www.backroads.com/images/trips/2010/slideshows/WCPQ-patagonia-walking.jpg 1 Chile & Argentina Hiking 00773:2010 WCPQ 4498.0 From $4498 pp A 603 SCH true 2010-03-11T20:04:35Z http://www.backroads.com/trips/WCPQ 6 OARS O.A.R.S. 2009-03-11T21:42:27Z This geological showcase of British Columbia provides Alpine scenery, spectacular wildlife, big hydraulic rapids and spectacular flights to and from the river. 7 458 http://www.oars.com/pics/size/500x305/ChilkoLake3.jpg 9 Chilko-Chilcotin-Fraser River 2995.0 Prices start at $2995 A 458 MOD true 2010-03-11T20:07:33Z http://www.oars.com/canada/chilcotin.html 6 OARS O.A.R.S. 2009-03-11T21:42:28Z Hike, bike, canoe, horseback ride, fish and kayak in the wilderness surrounding Chilko Lake, Taseko River and the Coast Mountain ranges. 5 460 http://www.oars.com/pics/size/500x305/taseko3.jpg 9 Chilko-Taseko Camping Multi-Sport 1995.0 A 460 MOD true 2010-03-11T20:07:34Z http://www.oars.com/htdocs/canada/chilkotaseko.html 6 726 Backroads Backroads 2009-07-30T01:06:17Z Delve into two different captivating regions of Italy during this one-of-a-kind trip.

Humbling. Unforgettable. These are just a few of the words that could be used to describe climbing one of Earth’s topographical trophies: Kilimanjaro. Immortalized in literature, film and song, this African empress is truly one of the planet’s greatest treasures—and to climb it is a rewarding, once-in-alifetime experience. Capped by snow and looming mightily over the vast savannah, Africa’s highest peak is an awesome sight. At 19,340 feet, it ranks among the tallest mountain peaks in the world (actually, it is the tallest free-standing mountain) and is one of the famed “Seven Summits”. Is it a challenging climb? You bet it is. Is it worth it? Absolutely. It ranks amongst this writer’s greatest joys and most rewarding accomplishments. Many of us at Micato have climbed Kilimanjaro; while we have all reached Uhuru Peak, we nonetheless agree that even had we failed to summit, the magnificence of days on the mountain alone would have been well worth the journey. Many routes lead to the summit—Barafu, Machame and Umbwe are some of our favourites—but we’ll help you choose the trek that’s right for you, based on your experience, desires, fitness level and the time of year. A climb requires a minimum of six nights but we’ll also recommend extra nights at altitude for greater acclimatisation. These treks are non-technical and no mountain experience is necessary, but you should be hale and hardy. Our camp staff will carry your gear, keep you well fed and comfortable, and do their absolute utmost to get you wisely to the summit. Combine the mountain with a full safari, or perhaps add a few days of high altitude game viewing before the climb to shake off jet lag and savour the adventure ahead. However you plan it, the experience of legendary Kilimanjaro will be entrenched in your memory for years to come. 6 http://beaconimages2.peak15systems.com/Kili_Micato.jpg 478 http://peak15systems.com/micato/Kili.jpg 6 Conquering Mt.

One of the books he penned, The Micato Safaris Guide to Predators, is a riveting volume of the continent’s carnivores. An American by birth, Mark adopted the wide savannahs of Africa as his home over twenty years ago and has since become a recognized expert in wildlife and safari. So much so, in fact, that his books are amongst the most widely read on East African travel, and Animal Planet and National Geographic consult with him. Mark’s work was included in The Best American Travel Writing 2000, and he is an expert wildlife photographer as well. So who better to take you on a private, customised wing safari of Africa? With Mark as your personal pilot and safari guide, you’ll gain keen insights from his twenty-odd years of flying these untamed wilds, combined with his encyclopedic knowledge of animal behaviour from his training as a wildlife biologist. Not to mention his personal stories that will have you on the edge of your comfortable seat: thrilling tales of bravery, adventure and discovery…the stuff of true safari lore! Simply choose a region of Africa and its wonders will unfold before you—dramatically, comfortably and conveniently. Maybe you’d like to explore East or Southern Africa’s famed game-parks or perhaps combine them with some lesser-known gems to which Mark is privy. Accommodations can be as luxurious or as adventurous as you please (or both), from Mark’s own seasonal tented camps to the most splendid, exotic safari lodges imaginable. With a world-renowned safari guide, a personalised itinerary and the private wings to move as you please, Micato’s Private Adventure is like having an insider’s pass to Africa’s most beguiling wilds. 14 From 14 days http://beaconimages2.peak15systems.com/MarkRoss_Micato.jpg Customized 492 http://peak15systems.com/micato/MarkRoss.jpg 6 Private Adventure by Private Plane 36000.0 From $36,000 per person for 14 days A 492 MOD true 2010-03-11T20:03:39Z http://www.micato.com/EBlast/9/mr/30/Private_Adventure_by_Private_Plane.pdf 6 859 Backroads Backroads 2009-08-01T01:06:37Z Journey with Backroads through a landscape captured on canvas by Cezanne, Picasso and van Gogh, where leisurely strolls through timeless villages and rugged countryside await.

Seldom Seen Africa brings you in touch with this raw and remote Africa, where you don’t just observe wildlife but become a part of its world. Maybe you’ll choose to hike through the rarely-visited Selous Game Reserve. Here, you will trek through grasslands, forests and swampland and bask in the pulse-quickening wildness of it all. Explore the serpentine Rufiji River, stunningly isolated yet replete with wildlife-viewing opportunities. Spy cape buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, crocodiles and even the endangered black rhino—in this seldom-seen territory, it’s as if you’re glimpsing a forbidden world. You might also find yourself exploring Botswana’s famed Okavango Delta, gliding through its wildlife-rich waterways by canoe. The discoveries are neverending in this primitive landscape—a pod of hippos wading nearby, or some crocodiles sunning themselves on the bank. Angle for the legendary tigerfish, or explore the Delta on horseback. Kenya’s rarely-explored far reaches also hold great intrigue. Choose from a wealth of under-the-radar gems here: camel trekking across acacia-dotted Nandanguru Plains; interacting with the nomad tribes of the Northern Frontier; helicoptering to the otherworldly Chalbe Desert; or exploring the Laikipia Plateau by mountain bike and bi-plane. Choose one of these adventures, or combine them all into one. It’s up to you. From desolate stretches of desert to the edges of an untamed frontier, these sojourns open up a new world of safari to even the most seasoned adventures. 14 http://beaconimages2.peak15systems.com/SeldomSeenAfrica_Micato.jpg 479 http://peak15systems.com/micato/SeldomSeenAfrica.jpg 6 Seldom Seen Africa - On foot, camel or horseback 16000.0 From $16,000 per person for 14 days A 479 MOD true 2010-03-11T20:03:38Z http://www.micato.com/EBlast/9/mr/30/Seldom_Seen_Africa.pdf 6 OARS O.A.R.S. 2009-03-11T21:42:25Z Relaxing float trip in the grandeur of Grand Teton National Park with unparalleled Teton views & spectacular wildlife.
