DELRAY BEACH, FL, June 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Instead of a stereotypical gift like a printed tie or cufflinks,
why not treat the most important man in your life to an
exotic voyage in the world's most prestigious
playground? African Travel,
Inc. offers a compilation of unforgettable experiences
in Zimbabwe's land of exotic excitement - perfect
for the quintessential man and his adventurous family on Father's
Day.
"Zimbabwe Beyond the
Rainbow" is an enthralling juxtaposition of
breathtaking landscapes, fine cuisine, and the unbridled thrill of
the African wilderness. Melt into the rhythmic heartbeat of Africa
while sipping sundowners aboard a cruise up the Zambezi
River, peppered with submerged crocodiles and pods of
hippopotamuses. The pace escalates with a stimulating hike
through Africa's most vocal rain forest as "the Smoke that
Thunders" crashes on all sides. Marvel at the grandeur of the
world's ultimate waterfall as more than 100 million gallons of
water crash through the channels of UNESCO's Victoria
Falls - and the continual rainbows that play in the
mist.
Venture to an authentic Zimbabwean village and
learn the ancient secrets and customs of a traditional medicine
healer. Savor a succulent four-course barbecue
feast and give Dad the chance to prove his fearlessness by
sampling the mopane worms. Later, you are invited to join
in the drumming circle as Amakwezi dancers demonstrate how
the locals celebrate.
After a transcendent journey both over and under the rainbows, fly
to the land of the giants in Zimbabwe's largest game
reserve. Hwange National Park is home to more
than one hundred animal species, including buffalo, zebra, giraffe,
hyenas, lions and massive herds of elephants. Enjoy
up-close-and-personal accommodations in a classic tented
camp, right next to the well-traveled wildlife path.
Finally, follow the elephants northeast to the remote Mana Pools National Park. This
UNESCO World Heritage Site offers sweeping views of the mountains
bordering Africa's Great Rift Valley and acacia
trees overlooking the Zambezi River. Paddle your own canoe
down the Zambezi, watching for hidden hippos and the
flying spectacle above. Cap your evenings off with gourmet dinners,
lively storytelling around the campfire, and sapphire skies
decorated with an infinite blanket of stars.
Celebrate Father's Day with an adventure that is as inspiring as he
is. We Know Africa - and we know that
you'll love it.
