Around the world in 40 days

What better way of celebrating 2008 than a ‘round the world’ tour? Walking holidays specialist, Ramblers Worldwide Holidays, is offering a 40 day tour to the USA, Cook Islands, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa – departing 25 January 2008.

This is a multi-faceted adventure, which begins in Los Angeles – with the opportunity to visit the Getty Museum and Universal Studios. Then its time to unwind in the South Pacific’s fabulous Cook Islands and onto New Zealand, which embraces visits to Mount Cook, Omarama, and Queenstown.

Next stop – Australia. Melbourne, The Snowy Mountains, Canberra, The Blue Mountains, and Sydney all feature in this leg of the journey.

And finally … South Africa, incorporating visits to the Royal Natal National Park; the spectacular Drakensberg mountains and the Hluhluwe Game Reserve.

All this for £5,199, which includes flights, transfers, half board accommodation and the services of a tour leader.
