The Italian Tourism Co - Sudan

Northern Sudan is one of Africa's most mysterious destinations. The Nile river crosses the Sahara desert and along its valley there are very interesting archaeological sites of Egyptian and Meroitic civilization still unknown to the most.

There are more pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt. The Nubian desert, the Eastern part of the Sahara and the Nile Cataracts, are only some of Sudan's natural wonders. The Italian Tourism Co. Ltd., offers only the best itineraries, the best accommodations, the best organization. Our staff knows all the archaeological sites, the hidden Nubian villages, the nomads' settlements, the more spectacular desert landscapes.

We built two luxury properties located in the most interesting areas of Northern Sudan. At the foot of the Jebel Barkal in Karima, there is our NUBIAN REST HOUSE, a charming boutique hotel with 22 twin rooms (all with private facilities), a delicious restaurant and a pleasant veranda where to sit in the cool starry nights.

The rest house is tastefully decorated, starting from the original Nubian door where the guests enter the property, to the open air lobby, to the living room where to rest or read a book. MEROE CAMP has 22 twin bedded tents set on a concrete base all with private facilities. The room size is 4 x 4 mt. and inside there are also small bedside tables with a reading light, drawers and mirror; outside there is shady veranda with 2 chairs for reading or simply relaxing overlooking the open desert before the pyramids.

The Hide Safaris - Zimbabwe

The Hide Safaris, only 2 hours from Victoria Falls, is a luxury camp located on the Eastern Boundary of Hwange National Park; it is one of the few camps adjacent to the National Park itself. Unlike other camps in the area, long drives from Camp to the Park are not necessary as we are in reality, a part of the Park itself, and the wildlife migration on our private concession is second to none. The Park boasts an abundance of bird and wildlife, including the Big Five!

The Hide has 10 luxury East African Style Tents (all en-suite) under thatch, all with a private porch overlooking our waterhole usually heaving with game activity. Our Honeymoon suites have an additional outside bath where guests can relax in a bath and enjoy the stunning view over the waterhole. Game activities include game drives and walks, night drives, bush dinners and much more. We also cater for honeymooners and small weddings.

The hub of the Camp is our majestic “A” Frame which houses the dining room, lounge and teak deck overlooking the waterhole. Meals are either served al-fresco or around our magnificent 22-seater teak dining room table - our candlelit dinners are an experience to be treasured! Our plunge pool is located outside the “A” Frame, which also offers a magnificent view of the waterhole. After a long game drive or game walk on a hot day, cool down and relax with a chilled drink and observe the game coming to the waterhole. The Hide has been consistently voted “Best Tented Safari Camp in Zimbabwe” since 1995.

The Flying Doctors' Society of Africa - Kenya

The Flying Doctors’ Society of Africa (FDSA) is a premier fundraising organization that was established in 1971 to raise funds to support the work of AMREF Flying Doctors and AMREF Specialist Outreach. FDSA raises funds through the sale of Membership to the Society, donations, sale of branded items and fund raising activities / events. The founder or AMREF, Sir Michael Wood, set up FDSA as a fund raising arm to support the work of AMREF Specialist Outreach.

The money we raise also goes towards financing lifesaving charity evacuations in the region, as well as supporting corrective surgeries for Fistula, which affects millions of women in Africa. Since 1971, we have donated $12million towards the work of AMREF. Membership costs start at $15 per adult per year. With this membership, an individual is entitled to one free medical emergency evacuation during the year of their membership. Being a member gives you peace of mind since you are assured of a safe and prompt evacuation in case of any medical or accidental emergency while you are in East Africa to a hospital of your choice in Nairobi.

You will also have 24hrs access to the AMREF Flying Doctors Emergency Center for free medical advice. Becoming a member is also a way of giving back to Society. You may not require our emergency service during the duration of your membership, but your unutilized member subscription will help finance AMREFs Medical Outreach program.
