At the edge of opportunity
Have you ever wondered what people mean we they say they’re on a working holiday?
By Leon Louw founder of WhyAfrica and Endorphin Expeditions
It really took me a while to figure it out. Eventually I came to this conclusion:
It’s when you travel with purpose. It’s where adventure, exploration, learning and meaningful conversations are combined with sightseeing and when you grow professionally and personally, while having lots of fun during a once in a lifetime expedition through Africa.
When you book a seat on Endorphin Expeditions’ overland trips through Africa, you’ll meet people who drive industry, interact with local communities around project sites, and see how a country’s economy functions on the ground.
In the spirit of adventure
The Endorphin Expeditions philosophy is exactly how we conduct the annual WhyAfrica Road Trip through Africa.
That means visiting exploration sites, mines, farms, energy and water projects, national parks, remote wilderness areas, conservation initiatives and tourism destinations across the continent, in the spirit of discovery and adventure.
The difference is that through WhyAfrica’s sister company, Endorphin Expeditions, we are now opening these overland adventures to others.
Are you searching for deeper meaning?
So, whether your organisation seeks a powerful team-building experience, or if you are investors wanting firsthand insight into projects and countries, or simply a traveller searching for deeper meaning, Endorphin Expeditions’ adventures provide that opportunity.
Importantly, we blend business exploration with adventure tourism (a fast-growing global trend) with activities that may include canoeing, hiking, caving, or even descending into historic underground mines.
The Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) defines adventure travel as a trip that includes at least two of these three elements: physical activity, natural environment, and cultural immersion. Endorphin Expeditions’ trips include all three.
Don’t throw yourself of a bridge
However, you don’t need to throw yourself off a bridge or down a mine shaft to be an adventure traveller with Endorphin Expeditions.
All you need is to show up with curiosity and a willingness to try something new.
