Uganda ArticleA glance at Uganda and its people through the eyes of travel writer Victor Block. Victor was on our Uganda tour last September. Indeed, the adrenaline rush of a charging mountain gorilla and stately beauty of lions sprawled over tree branches are but two of innumerable animal experiences that linger in my memory. Equally fascinating to me were encounters with people whose culture and lifestyle are very different from mine. These are among reasons why several of my traveling companions described their visit to Uganda as the trip of a lifetime.Check out the full article here. Burma: An Unspoiled, Culturally Rich AdventureJudith Fein does an excellent job of portraying the country, its culture and people in her article about ElderTreks Burma tour. It's a great read! At night, few tourists were present, and Paul and I wandered and stared in awe at the magical world of illuminated temples, pulsing auras around the Buddha statues, praying devotees, and intoning monks and nuns. ElderTreks Helps Build Orphange in Uganda2012 marks the 25th Anniversary for Eldertreks and we wanted to do something a little extra special. While we're extremely fortunate to be able to travel the world, there are many others who aren't as priveleged. While traveling the world and experiencing lifestyles and culture is incredible, you also have your eyes opened to some of the harsh realities that others less fortunate count as their daily way of living.
