We’re different because... Bamba Experience is unique. We are different because our focus is on YOU, the individual traveler. Our #1 priority is to make sure you have unforgettable experiences, meet new friends and return home with a smile on your face as you reflect back on the great memories you are bringing home. Award-Winning Customer Service: Our passion for independent travel is exceeded only by our commitment to you. Our focus on quality customer service has earned us a 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award. Structured Flexibility of Independent Travel: We know you want the freedom to choose. Bamba’s Hop-On Hop-Off bus passes offer flexible schedule changes anytime along a chosen route while Adventure Trips offer slightly more structured routes with unique trip-styles. You Choose Your Accommodation: Enjoy the freedom to decide where to sleep. Choose an affordable and social hostel dorm or a cozy upscale lodge; the choice is yours! Value: Bamba Experience believes that offering you tons of different included experiences is the best value-added aspect of your trip, so your trip includes tons of nature, culture, historic and adventure-based activities. Authenticity: Bamba takes pride in our passion for showing travelers the true heart of every destination. Included Experiences: You deserve to have cool experiences included in your trip so Bamba makes sure you don’t miss out by offering tons of different activities that bring value to your trip.

Why Independent Travel? Travel your Way We believe that freedom is empowering. When you travel independently, you learn a lot about yourself, while seeing a whole new perspective of your surroundings. You’ll discover that you can connect on a deeper level with the local people, the environment, and with other travelers. Traveling independently doesn’t mean you travel alone. Bamba is your local friend in a foreign country. Traveling with us, you’ll benefit from all of our great local insights into every place you set foot. Traveling independently means doing what YOU want, when you want, choosing where to stay, where to eat and what sights to see. You can change direction or change your mind anytime by reinventing yourself when you’re in a place that moves you. You will learn a great deal about yourself, meet tons of people, and make loads of new friends along the way. In fact, meeting people is often easier for solo travelers (and there are tons of people out there traveling on their own!) As always, if you need anything at all, Bamba Experience is available to assist you via online chat, over the phone, skype, or on email!

Why Choose Bamba Experience for your Inca Trail? HIGHLIGHTS Alternative Trekking Routes to Machu Picchu Small groups (4-12 trekkers) for Bamba travellers only Experienced English-speaking Peruvian guides & local porters Quality camping equipment & delicious Peruvian-style meals

Book in Advance: In efforts to preserve the original structures of Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail, the Peruvian government has limited the number of people allowed in the sites to 500 trekkers, porters and guides allowed on the Inca Trail, 400 trekkers on Wayna Picchu and 2,500 visitors in Machu Picchu archaeological site per day. For this reason it is very important to book early (anywhere from 3-6 months in advance). Your correct passport information is required to obtain your trekking permit, and absolutely no changes or transfers are allowed.

Alternative Trekking Routes to Machu Picchu Salkantay Trek - Discover a pristine and less frequented side of the majestic Andes mountain range by taking this alternative route to Machu Picchu with up-close and-personal views of massive Salkantay and Humantay mountain peaks standing over 6,000 meters high in the Cordillera Vilcanota range, the highest in Peru. (View Page 23)

Andean mountains followed by trekking in the jungle through local mountain communities and an ultimate ending at Machu Picchu archaeological site. (View Page 24) Lares Trek - An authentic look into life in the Andean countryside with fascinating views of the local villages where people still live as the Incas used to in thatched stone houses. Watch locals shepherding their llamas and alpacas around glacier lakes at the base of snow capped mountains and peek into a local school. Award yourself with a visit to the majestic site of Machu Picchu with its breathtaking landscape. (View Page 25) Choquequirao Trek - An invigorating trek into the heights of the Vilcabamba mountain range with 4,500 meter-high passes where condors fly gracefully overhead and the most stellar archaeological sites in Peru, Choquequirao and Machu Picchu, sit nestled in the mountainside among the lush tropical jungle. Not in brochure, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available, just ask your agent. Short on Time? Try a 1 or 2-day excursion to Machu Picchu by train on the Peru Railway for a relaxing and scenic journey to Aguas Calientes and the famous Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu. While a one day visit is possible, we recommend staying overnight to enjoy the town and its pristine natural surroundings. (View Page 26)

AFRICA Highlights

Maasai Mara Tribe Villages

Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

Wildebeest Migration

Visit a Manyatta, a circular village home to the Maasai people, in southern Kenya or northern Tanzania and watch as the men dance Adumu, a competitive Maasai warrior jumping dance. Admire their intricate beaded jewelry and colorfully decorated red clothing with African motifs.

Standing just a few meters away from a silverback gorilla and his family is an exhilarating experience that is difficult to describe! Track these gentle creatures through dense mountain terrain to get up close and personal with one of the few remaining families of Gorillas in the Impenetrable Forest.

Along with thousands of zebras, topi, elands and Thomsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gazelles, an estimated 1.3 million Wildebeest migrate between the Serengeti and Maasai Mara Natural Reserves each year heading north in July and south during October in search of green pastures. This naturally occurring migration is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most spectacular sights.

Ngorongoro Crater

Kilimanjaro Trekking

Rafting on the Nile River

Explore the world’s largest unflooded and unbroken caldera measuring 300 square kilometers home to thousands of migratory animals including the endangered black rhino, prides of graceful lions, herds of zebra and wildebeest, flocks of flamingos and lonely ostriches to name a few.

Trek to the summit of Africa’s tallest peak topped by three dormant volcanic cones reaching almost 5,900 meters. Choose the easier 7-day Marangu route or scenic (yet steeper) 8-day Machame trail. Standing on the peak of the world’s highest freestanding mountain is an achievement you will remember for a lifetime!

Your trip to Africa would not be complete without an invigorating ride down the Nile River along the world’s finest class 5 white water rapids. Feel the adrenaline rush and your heart pumping as you paddle straight into the “The Bad Place” hanging on as your boat is tossed like a feather.

What is an African Safari What is an African Safari? The word ‘safari’ originally comes from Swahili meaning ‘journey’. Nowadays ‘African Safari’ represents a journey into the African bush where you become immersed in pristine wild African landscapes to see diverse animal species up-close in their natural habitat and to get in touch with the local cultures.

Types of Safari Vehicles Toyota Land Cruiser with open roof Nissan Urvan with open roof

Safari Camps and Lodges Bamba Experience offers accommodation options in Africa that are as rich and diverse as the land and its people. Depending on your preference, you have the choice of sleeping at a basic yet authentic campground immersed in nature or at a beautiful and comfortable lodge inside or near the National Park.

Camping Option This is the best option for budget travelers! All camps offer toilets, hot showers, and delicious food. Depending on the camp, you may have to set up your tent or it might already be set up for you with a bed inside. This common and economic accommodation choice gives you the opportunity to continue your wildlife experience into the night. If you are lucky, you might get to hear the lions at night and, perhaps, have a visitor stroll through your camp!

Lodge Option If you are looking for comfortable lodges with high quality service, exquisite meals, some with a pool and incredible views, the lodge option is the way to go! We have chosen very comfortable lodges for you so you can spend the night in peace and harmony with nature.

HIGHLIGHTS Hike up Africa’s highest peak at 5,895m Rise above the cloud line and enjoy stunning views Witness an amazing sunrise at the summit Discover the region’s unique flora and fauna

ITINERARY Marangu Trek is the most popular route up Mt Kilimanjaro. Despite the human traffic, it can be fun to come together with other international like-minded travellers. This route has a well-defined path and accommodation in huts, resulting to a ‘climber friendly trekking experience’. Marangu Trek is a very scenic route with good views of Mawenzi and excellent chances for viewing wildlife. Day 01: Pick up at airports or bus station. Overnight stay in Moshi [890m], a small but typically vibrant Tanzanian market town, at Mountain Inn. Catch your first glimpse of Mt Kilimanjaro, rising high above the East African plains, while you wander about the town. Tonight, you will get briefed on your upcoming trek. Day 02: Drive from Moshi to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate at Marangu, on the eastern side of the mountain. The trek begins through forests of tall eucalyptuses where many species of birds and colobus monkeys can be sighted jumping through the canopy. Overnight at Mandara Hut [2,750m] in triangular-shaped huts. Day 03: You will start hiking through rainforests and then through mountain heathland, where you will view unique giant lobelias and groundsels, some of which are over 3 meters high! You will then continue on, as the landscape turns into low shrubs and moorlands. As you get to Horombo Hut [3,700m], you will have amazing views of the Mawenzi and Kibo massifs. Day 04: As you begin climbing today, the moorlands change into a rocky moon-like landscape. You will cross the surprisingly wide saddle of alpine desert connecting Mawenzi and Kibo. Remember to drink a lot of water and move slowly to prevent altitude sickness. Overnight at Kibo Hut [4,700m], at the foot of Kibo. Get to sleep early as you will have a very early start for the summit tomorrow. Day 05: You will leave camp around 1am today to be able to reach Uhuru Peak shortly after sunrise. You will first climb on a rocky path to the Hans Meyer Cave [5,150m], where you can take some time to rest a bit. Then the path zigzags steeply up a large scree slope, leading to Gilman’s point [5,681m] situated on the crater rim. You should get there just in time to appreciate a breathtaking sunrise with views over the impressive crater and the plains down below. You will continue on to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa at 5,896m, hiking along the snowy crater rim. On the summit, enjoy your accomplishment in total exhilaration as you admire the magnificent views of the surrounding plains. Once you have taken in this outstanding view, descend back to Horombo Hut with a new view looking down. The return to Horombo Hut will seem surprisingly fast compared to the tough ascent of the last days. After a 14 hours journey today, get some well earned sleep in your hut. Day 06: Descend back down through moorlands and lush forests to Mount Kilimanjaro Park Gate. Transfer to Moshi where you will spend the night at Mountain Inn. It is definitely time to celebrate and to relax. Day 07: Transfer to the airport or the bus station for your departure. You will leave with incredible memories that will last a lifetime!

The overnights on Mount Kilimanjaro are spent camping in tents, which are carried and pitched by the accompanying porters. Day 01: Pick up at airport or bus station and transfer to the Mountain Inn in Moshi [890m]. Explore this small but lively market town. Attend you pre-departure briefing and get a good night sleep before your big trip. Day 02: Drive to Kilimanjaro National Park Gate at Machame where you will start your trek. After park entrance formalities, you will begin your ascent and enter the rainforest almost immediately. After hiking through the wonderful flora and fauna of the forest, you will reach Machame Camp site at 3,000m. Day 03: Get up early and start climbing steeply. Soon the forest turns into moorlands and the ascent becomes more gentle. Admire the beautiful wild alpine flowers and the unique giant lobelia and groundsel plants. Enjoy a short lunch before continuing up a rocky ridge to the Shira plateau, where you have your first views of the Kibo massif and its stunning glaciers. Overnight at Shira Camp site [3,800m]. There, temperatures can fall well below zero. Day 04: Leave the vegetation behind as you trek steeply through a rocky landscape until the famous and impressive Lava Tower at 4,630m. After this tough climb you may feel some symptoms of altitude sickness, remember to drink a lot of water and ascend slowly. Descend more easily into the Great Barranco Valley and enjoy fantastic views of the Western Breach and the Great Barranco Walls. Admire a memorable sunset and stay overnight at Barranco Camp [3,900m]. Day 05: Begin the day climbing up the imposing Great Barranco Wall to its top. You will arrive just below the Heim Glacier where you can appreciate Mt Kilimanjaroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real beauty. Later, you will descend into the alpine desert of the Karanga Valley and climb until Barafu Camp [4,600m] situated on a narrow ridge. The giant Kibo and Mawenzi peaks can be viewed from the camp. Go to sleep early and get some precious rest before your summit attempt. Day 06: Wake up before midnight and make a final effort up through heavy scree between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers to Stella Point [4,685m] on the crater rim. Enjoy a short rest here as you admire a magnificent sunrise. Arrive at Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa at 5,895m, and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding plains as you stand on the roof of Africa! Head back down on the same rocky path and continue on until you eventually reach Mweka Camp site [3,000m]. After a very long hiking day of about 15 hours, get some well deserved sleep. Day 07: Enjoy this short scenic hike back to the Park gate and appreciate the higher oxygen levels. Continue down into the Mweka village and drive back to Moshi for your overnight stay at Mountain Inn. Upon arrival, relax, have that long awaited shower, and celebrate your accomplishment!

ITINERARY

During this 3-day trekking adventure, get more time to acclimatize to the high altitude before climbing to the summit of one of the world’s most prominent mountains - Mount Kinabalu - at 4,095m! Fortunately, Mt Kinabalu is one of the easiest peaks in the world to conquer, but do prepare to be physically fit before your trip. Start off your incredible journey in Kota Kinabalu and make your way to Kinabalu National Park passing by villages and paddy fields along the Crocker Range. On your way, make a stop at the colorful Nabalu Market for an opportunity to buy local handicrafts and fruits. Have lunch at your own expense. Check in at your hostel and get some good night sleep. On day 2, have breakfast at Balsam restaurant, in a lowland rainforest. Then, meet your mountain guide at the Sabah Park Registration Office and continue until the Power Station/Timpohon Gate [1830m] for the start of the climb. A nice winding path up the mountain takes you through various vegetation zones, such as montane oak, rhododendrons and conifer forests. After 4 to 6 hours of trekking, you will arrive at your guesthouse in Laban Rata [3550m]. Enjoy a delicious dinner while taking in the spectacular mountain landscape around you. Go to sleep early as your night will be short. Wake up as early as 2 am on day 3, put on warm clothes and begin your strenuous climb to the summit by torchlight. The altitude will make things more difficult but after 3 hours you should reach the summit’s granite plateau, just in time for a beautiful sunrise. Return to Laban Rata for breakfast and then trek back to the lower zones where vegetation is abundant. Return to Kota Kinabalu after this great achievement!

Embark on this 2-day tropical adventure and get the opportunity to climb the highest mountain of South East Asia - Mt Kinabalu - whose summit stands at an impressive 4,095m! The trek is fairly accessible but even though climbers don’t need any previous experience at mountain climbing, it is recommended to be physically fit. Set off early from Kota Kinabalu on day 1 and view the mountain’s majestic peak soar high above the jungle as you head to the entrance of Kinabalu Park. Upon arrival, meet your mountain guide, register with the Park office and then continue until the Power Station/Timpohon Gate [1830m] for the start of the climb. Begin your trek in the tropical rainforest and make your way up the mountain across twisting paths through various unique vegetation zones.

Depending on your pace, you will reach your guest house in Laban Rata after 4-6 hours of trekking. Enjoy a delicious dinner and take in the spectacular mountain landscape in the evening. After a short night sleep, get awakened at 2 am and change into warm clothes. With the help of a torchlight, begin your climb up towards the large granite rock plates. Iron stairs and ropes have been attached to the mountain to make the climb easier. The altitude will make your climb harder but after 3 hours you should reach the cold, dark summit, in time for a beautiful sunrise view over the Crocker Mountain Range and the Sabah lowlands.
