NZ Bike Tours for our NZ Bikers
Posted on 05/05/2020 by Mandy Richards
April's been a crazy month all right. We thought we were going to be putting the final touches on our newest cycle tour while biking and camping in the deserts of Namibia. Instead, the day Jacinda announced we were going into lockdown we made a quick decision and moved into our unfinished house and new Escape HQ. So we've had plenty to do to keep us distracted from feeling sorry for ourselves! We postponed the bulk of our cycle tours to next year and began brainstorming ways to get through the next year with a positive bank balance and sense of humour intact! I am sure this sounds familiar to some of you?
The Hippo Story - A true (and slightly long winded) story....
Posted on 25/04/2020 by Mandy Richards
If you have been on tour with John then there is a good chance that during one of your post ride rehydration sessions you may have heard the "Hippo Story". So by popular demand here it is in its reduced form......
Crazy (and exciting!) times ahead!

Isn't it just incredible how this virus is affecting absolutely everybody and every industry in the world right now? I'm sure everyone in business is asking themselves a lot of questions about how they are going to get through the next month, the next year or in the case of tourism, we don't know how long... and come out stronger on the other side.
Covid 19
Posted on 11/03/2020 by Mandy Richards
There is currently a whole heap of uncertainty and concern surrounding corona virus and world travel. Like everyone we are watching World Heath Organisation’s reports closely and waiting to see how it will play out. It is a really fluid situation and things are changing not even weekly, but day-to-day. We hope that people stay smart and continue to look out for each other and wash their hands!! And we remain positive that the spread of the disease will soon slow.

A Tribute to Solomon of Solomon's Rock

If you have joined us on tour in Kenya & Tanzania, you might have met our good friend Solomon. If not, you definitely camped near his manyatta with us next to the infamous Solomon's Rock (to us) in Kenya.
