			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://livethejourney.co.za/wp-content/uploads//2010/06/j-i-DSC01084.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1735" title="j-i-DSC01084" src="http://livethejourney.co.za/wp-content/uploads//2010/06/j-i-DSC01084.jpg" alt="j-i-DSC01084" width="900" height="675" /></a></p>
<p>The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a modern nation with a very old past dating back to Biblical times.  Already in the Old Testament Mt Nebo is mentioned as the place where Moses died.  The country is small, but the contrasts amazing … ranging form the desert canyons of the Wadi Rum to the green fertile land along the Jordan River, the beauty of an ancient city like Petra and the modern life style in Amman.  Experience the salty waters of the Dead Sea, stand in awe admiring the intricate mosaics of Madaba and visit the well preserve Roman City of Jerash.</p>
<p>From Jordan it is possible to visit the Biblical sites of Israel.  When in Israel you should use the word “old” cautiously as the age of some of the sites is counted in millennia.  We visit the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee often referred to in the New Testament, walk along the Stations of the Cross … Via Dolorosa and many more spiritual site, hear the tragic story of Masada and enjoy the culture and colourful markets.</p>
<p>These are captivating experiences not to be missed.</p>

<p><strong>Destination:</strong> Ethiopia<br />
<strong>Tour:</strong> The Mystery and Splendour of the Historical Route<br />
<strong>Date:</strong> 12 &#8211; 23 October 2010</p>
<p>Ethiopia is a country with an intriguing and old, very old history. The people are extremely religious and the country operates on a totally different time and calendar than the rest of the world. Amharic is the official language. It is an ancient language officially used throughout medieval times to date. The historical sites are mesmerising. When you stand in awe looking down onto one of the rock-hewn churches it is difficult to imagine man created it – the fable that angels assisted with the work becomes not so far fetched.</p>
<p>The countryside is postcard beautiful … green hills, rocky outcrops, lakes, high mountains, the origin of the Blue Nile at Lake Tana and picturesque vistas. The town markets are colourful and a hive of activity with friendly locals eager to sell their goods. Even the children are eager to enter into conversation with visitors.</p>
<p>Like many things in Ethiopia the cuisine is also unique and different. <em>Njera</em>, a sponge like pancake made from teff flour is found on every menu. Learn how to eat njera<br />
and tibs by only using your right hand. Coffee had its origin in Ethiopia … attending a coffee ceremony is a relaxing, colourful and interesting experience.</p>
<p>Ethiopia is not an ordinary tourist destination – leave the ordinary and experience the extraordinary of this exceptional country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This will be an epic tour, a once in a livetime experience, through six countries with famous travel writer and African expert, Mike Copeland, as tour leader.  Mike has published four travel guides – Cape to Cairo, Mozambique, Namibia and Botswana – and is the author of numerous magazine articles on his African travels.  Mike is an explorer in the true sense of the word – just like David Livingstone was for nearly 30 years!</p>

<p><strong>Destination:</strong> Ethiopia<br />
<strong>Tour:</strong> Colourful cultures in the Omo Valley<br />
<strong>Date:</strong> 05 – 14 October 2010</p>
<p>Ethiopia is different, unique and unlike any other country. On this <em>adventure</em> tour you will connect with the country and its people. Only in Ethiopia will you hear the ancient Amharic language spoken, experience the Old-testament orthodox Christian religion and taste weird and wonderful cuisine, which includes <em>Njera</em> bread and spicy raw mincemeat. The people are proud, beautiful, independent and hospitable due to the fact that the country was never colonized and never needed missionaries. Ethiopia is a wonderful destination for bird lovers as there are numerous species. The visit to the south will be a unique opportunity to visit a wild and wonderful wilderness. The country is a melting pot of different cultures and on this journey you will get into contact with a few interesting tribes.</p>
<p>Connect with the people on this very unique experience.</p>

The Richtersveld National Park is home to the only true mountain desert in South Africa. It is situated in the Northern Cape on the border with Namibia and forms part of the Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park. On tour, you will see impressive rock formations, abundant succulents and endemic plant life such as the famed Quiver trees, massive aloes and, &#8216;halfmense&#8217;(&#8217;semi-human&#8217; trees) set majestically within an all-encompassing silence. We also visit some of the communities.<br />
The route follow the Orange River to its mouth and from Port Nolloth we head back to Springbok where the 5-day tour begins and ends. </div>
