The Best of Niche Africa Holidays
Halmark Adventure Travel has specialized
in Safaris that are out-of-the-ordinary, moving away from
traditional tourist circuits into new and un chartered areas,
thus giving the client value for money as s/he experiences
the adrenaline pumping adventures of the yesteryears. In
this exclusive arena we have pioneered several specialty
travel packages for the East Africa countries of Kenya,
Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda. Among some of these "off-the-beaten-track"
itineraries are: -
Fishing Safaris in Kenya
Kenya is an excellent destination for fishing incursions.
With trout in the cold waters of the Mount Kenya region,
Nile Peach, Tilapia, Cat Fish and Mud Fish in the inland
seas of Lake Victoria and Lake Turkana and Big Game in the
warm coral waters of the coast of East Africa around Malindi
and the South Coast. Please make prior arrangements and
contact us for the best fishing seasons and accommodation.
You can also enter into fishing competitions that take place
annually off the Kenyan Coast.
Gorilla Adventures
in Africa
Some of the last of the mountain gorillas are to be found
in Uganda. Apart from Uganda these endangered primates can
only to be sited in , Rwanda in Eastern Africa and the two
countries hold over half the world's population of gorillas.
The permits given for viewing these giants of the tropical
forest are limited as we do not wish to unduly interfere
with their world and thus hasten their departure from these
retreats that have offered these gorilla families a safe
haven, away from the devastation wrought upon them by men.
Regular safari itineraries are available from three to five
days. Longer safaris that also include other places of interest
are also available at our offices.
