AFWA6

Julia Rose Warder says:
I really enjoyed the holiday and because it was so different came back home refreshed and ready to get back to work.
The walk through Dogon country , the Cape Coast castles and the Voodoo ceremony in Togo were amazing .
Introduction: This grand adventure is truly one of contrasts. Watch life slide by whilst retracing ancient trading routes on course to the mystical gateway to the Sahara - Timbuktu. Visit the ancient city of Djenné and its famous mud mosque. Stretch your legs whilst exploring the unique villages of the Dogon people. Walk with the elephants in Mole National Park and with the animals and birds of the rainforest in Kakum National Park. Explore deserts, rainforests, mountains, valleys, and beaches. See the sights in vibrant cities and sleepy villages, dance to West African rhythms or learn to beat a drum. Above all else, immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, smells and tastes that make this region unique.
