Last night I went to a talk by a well known company that specialises in 'adventure' holidays. I would have never gone if I had not been asked to go with a friend of mine, she thought it might be a good idea to check out the competition. Definitely a lesson there!
It was interesting to see the demographics of the people attending (Becks and I were certainly in the younger age spectrum) as well as what was on offer. It was a lesson in exactly NOT what Sense Africa is all about. They said that they had small groups of 70 - 100 (!), there was considerable travel each day, purely functional accommodation, a group participation itinerary and very early morning starts - it appeared that each day you were up to see the sun rise. I know that seeing the sunrise over the plains of Africa, the Taj Mahal and the Amazonian rain forest are sights not to be forgotten, but surely not every day. I was exhausted just looking at the itineraries and I got the feeling that a holiday would be needed after the holiday. I know that it is not for everyone, there is a market for all tastes, needs and hobbies.
We ran out of the room in case we were stopped to be asked whether we enjoyed the talk - all 2 and a half hours of it.
Despite all this I am glad that I went as it has clarified what Sense Africa's holistic holidays are all about. Personalised holidays which are relaxing, flexible and away from the hubbub of life's fast lane. A holiday where you can choose to go on safari or stay by the pool, to join a small (6 - 8 people) yoga session whilst watching the elephants wander by or read your book, the choice is yours. And I would like to think that you would return home feeling refreshed, relaxed and revitalised.
Peace for your mind, body and soul. Sense Yourself with Sense Africa.
I feel better now....
