Track Gorillas in what the United Nations Calls "The Year of the Gorilla"
Kampala, Uganda; January 26, 2009—Volcanoes Safaris, the first international up-market safari company to take clients to see gorillas in post-conflict Rwanda, offers guided tracking excursions in Bwindi and Mgahinga in Uganda, as well as in Parc des Volcans in Rwanda. Adding relevance to these trips is the fact that recently the United Nations named 2009 “The Year of the Gorilla”. Visitors on these trips can watch the giants chew their vegetarian fare and tenderly groom their offspring while under the safe and watchful eyes of the highly-trained guides. They have also designed and created their own unique, luxury eco-lodges that are run by local citizens. At the end of the day, feast on local gourmet cuisine and be treated like royalty at one of these unique and luxurious lodges. Volcanoes Safaris has created an unrivalled and integrated set of eco-tourism services and are taking real and actionable steps towards re-building tourism in Uganda and Rwanda, protecting the great ape species whose habitat is under threat of destruction, and creating an eco-tourism program that truly puts the preservation of people, animals, and habitats first. They believe that it is essential in post-conflict societies that the private sector takes responsibility and so they have created partnership projects that help stimulate the economy, create jobs, and give locals security and personal value. Volcanoes Safaris was recently named "One of the World's Best Outfitters" by National Geographic Adventure Magazine.

Cycle With the Pros: Great Explorations Offers Cycling Itineraries for the Tour de California
VANCOUVER, BC-- The Tour de California is fast becoming known as an exciting international race with superb routes, top professional cyclists, and large fan support, and renowned cycling tour operator Great Explorations is offering cycling enthusiasts a chance to be in the middle of the action. In February, Lance Armstrong will make this his first race on North American soil and travelers with the company will be there by his side to cheer him on. Great Explorations has planned two itineraries that include experiencing a large part of the race while enjoying the wine, weather, and sights of stunning California.

This trip takes cyclists to Sacramento, Napa Valley, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, San Jose, and the exciting individual time trial in Solvang. Participants will have the opportunity to ride the actual routes ahead of the pros, and watch from ideal vantage points, where food and refreshments are served. Visitors will ride the best of California’s cycling routes with options for moderate and more advanced rides, and Great Explorations has scouted out superb routes in vineyard country that wind through redwood forests and along the most scenic stretch of coastline in the country.
Highlights of this journey with Great Explorations:

· Trips that that are designed and operated to include only good surprises.
· From this trip, Great Explorations will be making a donation of $100 per guest to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
