Rothschild Safaris ‘Gears’ up for travel in 2010

Denver, CO (November 16, 2009) – The holiday shopping season is just around the corner and we’re continuing to see consumer trends shift towards practicality and experiences vs. traditional luxury goods. For Americans planning for (or dreaming about!) a trip to Africa in 2010, stylish yet practical safari gear may be just the perfect holiday gift. Rothschild Safaris (http://www.rothschildsafaris.com/), a boutique safari operator creating unique and custom journeys to Africa, today unveils their perfect safari gear gift guide for those searching for an ideal gift for travel companions and avid travelers.

“Packing to head out into the bush for two weeks can be a bit overwhelming for those who have never been to Africa. Add to that the requirement that travelers are restricted to anywhere from 26 to 44 pounds preferably packed in soft-sided duffle bags that are carry-on size, and we regularly have some very confused travelers!” explains Leora Rothschild, founder of Rothschild Safaris. “Our safari gear packing guide includes a complete packing list containing pictures of recommended clothes and equipment. It has taken me nearly 200 safaris to perfect this African safari packing strategy and now I want to share what I have learned with my clients.”

An inexpensive watch is a helpful tool as most camps and lodges in Africa do not have clocks (or sometimes even electricity) in the room. Although, wake up calls are offered, a second late for a game drive equals a second away from witness a pride of lion cubs. Plastic or rubber running watches work great and are lightweight. Another great packing tip is to pack sticky yoga socks which are much more portable than a big mat and provide a great way to stretch out after a long day in a safari vehicle.  Other great packing tips on Leora Rothschild’s safari gear packing guide include soft sided duffle bags, silk long underwear and pajamas for layering, and Tilley hats.

Rothschild Safaris (http://www.RothschildSafaris.com) has more than 200 safaris’ worth of experience in selecting gear for safaris. Her first-hand knowledge can be crucial when searching for a holiday gift for your travel companion.

Littleton, CO, November 17, 2009 – Lifetree Adventures today announced that it has increased its trip offering to include  youth group mission trips. The teens could help build a home for a needy family in Mexico or help repair damaged neighborhoods in New Orleans. The sense of satisfaction – both physical and spiritual – will reap rewards in unimaginable ways. There are many destinations where youth group mission service is needed including the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Fiji, Israel, Mazatlan, New Orleans, Peru and South Africa.

If youth group leaders are looking to challenge students to step out of their comfort zones, take a leap in their faith journey, and really reach out to help someone in need, then the new youth group mission trips are the perfect match. Lifetree Adventures takes the traditional “youth group mission trip” to the next level. The teens will work side-by-side in unfamiliar surroundings, serve people in need, and bring their group closer together (and to the people they serve). They’ll be there to bring Christian help, encouragement, and friendship to people in real need. They’ll learn to trust and rely on each other—and on God—in a whole new way.

The relationships Lifetree has with local agencies throughout the world will enable youth groups to serve people directly with projects they value… groups might help build a church or a ministry center, play games with disadvantaged children, help feed whole neighborhoods, or teach good hygiene to people who want to learn. Lifetree makes it easy for youth group leaders by providing expert tour guides, translators, and reliable local travel arrangements. Time is also built in to the trips for groups to explore their Christian faith with discussion and reflection. Youth groups on a mission will make the difference…and Lifetree Adventures will make it easy!

To learn more about the youth group mission trips Lifetree Adventures has to offer please visit: http://www.lifetreeadventures.com/Tripsforyouthgroups.aspx or call 800-747-2157.
