Escape to Africa with Unique Expeditions

If the lure of exploring Africa is on your “must do” list then Brendon Hart is the man to deliver a magical experience. He has developed a deep appreciation of the varied and astonishing landscapes, wildlife and people of this astounding place since 1994.  Having lived, worked, taught, played sport and guided many groups to Africa, Brendon has acquired vital knowledge which has translated into the opportunity to sample Africa in a way that will impact on you like no other experience. More recently, with the formation of his aptly named travel company Unique Expeditions, Brendon has created a unique partnership with local community leader and professional safari guide, Umbawe Kaaya, to create an authentic African experience. Brendon has used his knowledge of this region to create an itinerary that delivers the best of Africa in every way. Based in the politically stable country of Tanzania, which also happens to boast arguably the best landscapes, wildlife and cultures of Africa, become immersed in a real African community, see amazing sights and meet wonderful local people.

What sets this expedition to Africa apart from those offered by other safari companies is the opportunity to contribute positively to a local community. Brendon is patron of the “Peace Matunda Orphanage & Children’s Centre” which is providing a home and educational opportunities to local children who have lost parents mainly through AIDS. A visit to this community based project is sure to make a big impact on you and will certainly positively impact on those of an African village as your presence injects money into the local economy and some small donations we deliver go a long way to helping this community break the poverty cycle. You certainly don’t see other foreign owned safari companies assisting local communities, only exploiting them!   

This expedition offers a smorgasbord of experiences to arouse your senses, fill your photo album and afford you a real sense of gratification by helping a local community change lives for the better. Even better, this safari won’t cost you the earth! Unique Expeditions also specializes in offering small group adventures which are personalized and come highly recommended. All levels of fitness can be catered for and would suit people who enjoy a spot of camping but with all meals cooked, dishes done and tents erected for you! Small group trips are usually away for 16 days.

If independent travel is more your thing then we can also arrange a similar itinerary for you to experience. Dialogue with Brendon will open your eyes to what remarkable opportunities are possible. Maybe spending more time in the orphanage interests you or perhaps more adrenaline based activities such as hot air ballooning appeal. Just talk to us and we will make it happen. 

Unique Expeditions has experience in coordinating itineraries and activities for:

•    Small Group Travel
•    School Groups
•    Independent Travel
•    Corporate Team Building
