Located in southeastern Africa, Malawi is called 'the warm heart of Africa,' which is no exaggeration; it is a nature lover's dream-come-true. In this program, from the moment the plane touches down, you are completely surrounded by the most amazing wildlife on earth. You see rare species of fish found only in Lake Malawi while scuba diving or sailing its deep blue waters. You take a river safari to see crocodiles sunning on the riverbanks and half-submerged hippos; then you go on a 'game drive' in Liwonde National Park to watch elephants, baboons and hundreds of wild birds. You are also shown basic aspects of African culture: the art of mask making, to express religious and personal beliefs, the traditional dances to native drum beats, and the art of bartering in the marketplace.

This program provides us with a rare opportunity to visit the emerging African nation of Namibia, exploring the two coastal towns of Luderitz and Swakopmund. In Luderitz, the main attraction is Kolmanskop Ghost Town, where only cultural remnants remain due to diamond miners moving south due to the discovery of larger stones; then we visit diamond mines that were discovered by accident in 1907 when maintenance on a section of the railroad revealed 'unique stones'; also we see a gigantic rock arch named Bogenfels. We visit the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, where one can ride camels and observe the different colors of the dunes; also it offers the best conditions in the world to paraglide. In Swakopmund, the country's second largest town and traditional 'summer capital,' we see carpets, rugs, and wall hangings individually designed and created by the Karakulia weavers; then we watch African art jewelers create beautiful pieces of jewelry; lastly, at the Swakopmund Tannery, we see how hides are transformed into leather goods.

The Bushmen of South Africa, also called the San, received worldwide attention with the success of the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy. This recognition did not insure these indigenous people a secure homeland or way of life; however, efforts are being made today between the Government and the National Parks Board to help the Bushmen/San resist extinction. In this engaging program we travel just three hours from Cape Town to Kagga Kamma, which is located in an untouched wilderness area south of the Cederberg Mountains and discover the Bushmen/San continue to survive in this land of majestic sandstone formations with a knowledge of their environment that dates back to Stone Age times, taking from nature only what the community needs; rock paintings that reflect their rich cultural heritage, which date back 6,000 years, can be found here; also we get the rare opportunity to meet several Bushmen/San families first hand and learn how they co-exist with their ancient ways during modern times.

Argentina, the second largest country in South America, offers a wide variety of natural wonders and cultural attractions. Our first stop is to the cosmopolitan capital city of Buenos Aires, a cultural centerpiece, which includes the La Boca district, a picturesque old port known as the birthplace of the Tango, plus the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace, also known as the pink palace. This is where political history was born on May 25, 1810, when the patriots gathered and rid the city of Spanish conquerors, and where Evita Peron gave her famous speeches. Next we explore the Tierra del Fuego peninsula and visit the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia, at the foot of the Andes and tucked along the Beagle Channel, named for its majestic shape; then we travel south to the Falkland Islands, remembered for its war in the 1980s, and well known for its rugged beauty, wildlife and brightly colored homes. Captain John Davis of England discovered these islands in 1592.

Southeast Asia and the South Pacific come alive on an incredible 62-day cruise. The first stop is China's Hong Kong, the international trading city, which is a sophisticated and exotic mix of Eastern and Western cultures. Here we see Po Lin Monastery's Big Buddha on Lantau Island, Yuen Po Bird Market, and Aberdeen, home of the floating fishing village. In Vietnam, located in the eastern part of the Indochina peninsula, we visit China Beach and the Marble Mountains, as well as the industrial city of Da Nang and the ancient city of Hoi An. Singapore offers a combination of Western style development and Eastern style calm, which can undoubtedly be attributed to its history. It was originally founded by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles and achieved its independence in 1965. The Sri Mariamman Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in the country. Bali, Indonesia, is known for its friendly people, beautiful jungles and mountains, and spectacular beaches; also we visit the Goa Lawah Temple. Australia's Northern Territory capital, Darwin, is a modern city playing a pivotal role in the expansion of the Austral-Asian region. Then on the Queensland coast of the island-continent we visit the popular city of Cairns as well as the treasured rainforests. And the journey ends on the northeast coast of Australia, on the Great Barrier Reef, the site of the world's largest collection of coral reefs.

Ottawa is Canada's capital city, with a distinctive cultural center blending old and new architecture; much of which can be seen boating its Rideau Canal Waterway. Parliament Hill, visible throughout the downtown area, is one of Canada's most recognized landmarks and the seat of Canada's federal government; it too is the site of the "must see" Changing of the Guard. The National Gallery of Canada houses the world's largest collection of Canadian art, including a section devoted to contemporary Inuit art. The Canadian Museum of Civilization is the country's largest and most popular cultural institute; located on the shores of the Ottawa River, it presents over 10,000 years of Canadian pre-history, history, and culture. The National Museum of Science and Technology chronicles the technological development of Canada, including the Gregorian reflecting telescope and important logging machinery. Here too we witness the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride, an evening of traditional entertainment with a troop of 32 horses and riders performing cavalry drills choreographed to music. Our intro to Toronto brings us to popular attractions such as Ontario Place, Harbourfront, Power Plant, Craft Studio, and CN Tower. We also explore the Toronto Zoo, the world's third largest zoo, which displays over 5,000 animals in a zoological park complete with ponds, waterfalls, and floral displays.

Vancouver is surrounded by water on three sides, is Canada's busiest port, is stunningly beautiful, and is a center of arts and learning. No wonder people love this place. Here we explore one of the world's greatest urban parks, the 1,000-acre Stanley Park; also the Vancouver Aquarium, which introduces visitors to underwater environments ranging from the Arctic to the Amazon. Granville Island, a small peninsula connected to downtown via the Granville Street Bridge, is a multi-use facility including industry, commerce, and entertainment; then to Grouse Mountain, an aerial sky ride that takes visitors on a one-mile journey above the city. Also we remember the Royal Hudson Steam Train, a 1930's restored steam engine that once offered rides from Vancouver to Squamish. Next is the Calgary Stampede; called the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth," this annual exhibition celebrates the agricultural and historical legacy of the past. In Banff we visit the Banff Springs Hotel. Built in 1888 it is one of the lavish hotels constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railroad to entice visitors to ride the rails to the Rockies and enjoy the Upper Hot Springs Pool. Lastly, we take a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain, getting a spectacular view of Banff and the entire Bow Valley.

Tour two of Canada's most historic and cosmopolitan cities: the island-city of Montreal, famous for its international appeal; then to Quebec to join in its annual Winter Carnival. First stop is Montreal, North America's largest bilingual city; where French and English both are spoken with ease. Food is an important part of Montreal life, and there are culinary treats for everyone, from gourmet French restaurants to delicatessens and pastry shops. No visit to Montreal would be complete without a trip to St. Catherine's Street, where shopping is supreme. Other attractions include ice skating, visiting the Natural Science Museum and Polar World. Casino nightlife is always popular, but be sure to end your visit here with a romantic carriage ride through Old Montreal to view the architecture. Our tour continues to Quebec and the world's largest winter carnival. First begun in 1894 by French settlers to celebrate before Lent, the carnival has grown into an important event for both tourists and locals, with activities and fun that last for 11 days. Visit such events as snow bathing, axe throwing, and wood chopping competitions. Enjoy a delicious maple syrup snow cone while attending a highlight of the Winter Carnival, the International Snow Sculpture Event, with participants from around the world. Before you leave the city, take a break from the carnival's activities and visit one of Quebec's main attractions, the Chateau Frontenac, one of the most photographed hotels in the world. Built overlooking the Saint Lawrence River, the hotel provides spectacular views from all vantage points.

Chateau Lake Louise is a year-round playground for celebrities, and this resort hosts a celebrity sports invitational each year. This year's event included Robin Leach, Ali MacGraw, and Angie Dickinson. Another of Canada's premier skiing resorts is located in British Columbia near Vancouver, the Whistler Ski Resort. Canada's premier resort is a family-friendly destination and is special because of its two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb. Side by side, they offer over 8,000 acres of skiing and snowboarding possibilities, but activities are offered year round for everyone.
