Fun, Fearless Women needed for Euro-African expedition

ARE YOU 21 years or older, a fearless woman, have a drivers license and able to take eight months of your life to go trekking around Africa and Europe? The Mitsubishi - Africa Adventure Cape to Cape Expedition, is looking for you. Applicants from all walks of life are invited for the expedition which will kick off on International Women’s Day 08 March 2009, from Cape Agulhus, the southern-most tip of Africa up to the Nordkap (North Cape), the northern-most tip of Europe in October 2009.

Only 10 successful applicants will undertake the trip that will see them traversing through 14 African and an equal number of European countries for eight months.
"Just another trip through Africa - nothing out of the ordinary you might say. But if this trip is undertaken by a group of 10 fearless women and if it is done to promote tourism to the most alluring continent, it suddenly becomes something extraordinary!" said trip organiser, Enya Fehler.

The all-women expedition also has the unreserved endorsement of Marthinus van Schalkwyk, Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism who also congratulated them on their initiative to promote tourism to Africa.

Already there are three applicants, two South Africans and a German, who have made it through the pre-selection process.

They will be included in the final selection workshop in May/June next year. Interested? Visit www.africa-adventure.travel or contact Enya Fehler on capetocape@africa-adventure.travel for more detail.
