Journey to the Far East - Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos
By Prema Lalji

10 nights through THREE ENTICING COUNTRIES - Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Our journey to this part of the world, in the company of close friends, proved to be one of the most enjoyable trips, guaranteeing a wealth of memorable experiences. What still lingers in our minds are the friendly and proud people with a strong identity, the peace and quiet of Halon Bay, images of verdant rice paddies, farmers in conical hats, fishermen in wooden boats and shyly smiling children.

A Kenyan Community Helps Rhinos Come Home

Earlier this year, a photograph of Samburu warriors in Kenya touching a rhino calf for the first time in their lives won a World Press Photo award. There was sadness to the story of Kalifi the rhino - his mother had been killed by poachers - and there was sadness in the warriors' story too - they had grown up in a once rhino-rich land that now held none.

Rickshaw Client Review

"Dear Premma, Pooja, Bhavin and Deepak,

I would like to Thank all of you, and all the Rickshaw team again, for the tremendous support you gave before, during and even on my mum's extended trip.

We were deeply touched by Tanzanian spirit, by your hospitality, and by the beauty of the land itself! I have never before believed that this 'Africa fever' existed. That idea, that once you step on the soil of the oldest continent, something in you will feel deeply at home, genuinely alive, crazily free - and that you will be wanting to go back for more and more so much that at one point you will have withdrawal symptoms and you find yourself on the plane again. I thought it was a legend, a myth... and barely 3 months passed since I have come home. And I can't stop thinking back to Africa. I am glad our first experience have been with your help and hospitality, and hopefully it will not be our last.

Rickshaw Travels have been going out of their way to make our trip to Tanzania a memorable one. Right from the first moments of planning to the very last goodbye, they were supporting us, inspiring us and guiding us with great expertise - so that we could feel safe and care-free on our journey.

Thank you Rickshaw for your 'Hakuna matata” approach, we surely will never forget this trip."

Diana & Susanna from Hungary
