Looking for a father son adventure....Syria, Madagascar or an African safari?

Question

My father and I are looking to go on the adventure of a lifetime, for 2-4 weeks. It'll just be the two of us and we're looking to be camping or at least over-landing. Our interests are the natural world, archaeology and Britain's colonial past.

We've whittled the choice down to the three destinations above. Which should we look into further, in your opinion? I am 22 and have quite a lot of travel experience, my father is 60 and not in bad shape, but his back does goive him a bit of gip. He's too much of an old warhorse to let that stop him though!

Thanks.

Answer 1

Go to the Serengeti Safari Park Tanzania. Picture this,

You're floating along the sky early in the morning in a hot air balloon while gazing at the animals in their natural habitat then as you go futher in to the bush you drop down in the balloon for a fully prepared "champagne breakfast"

You can stay in luxury lodges and have a fully experienced guides give you a tour you will not forget in a hurry :)

Google the place to find out more.

Answer 2

sounds alright on paper/after the first day your dad will wish he was in a good hotel, with good food ,sunshine and a book to read.

keep the bonding for the movies

Answer 3

I would say go to the Sahara desert with a four by four. It will scare you to death but it is worth it. Plus north africa is an amazing place.

Answer 4

Syria is not that safe, Madagasgar has lost much of its rainforest so I would suggest an African safari. If you would like a non-malarial safari park the excellent Madikwe on the south African/Botswana border is great. The best lodge there is the Mateya lodge....awesome. I was there in March.
