TURKEY:
CAVE HOTEL AND VILLAGE STAYS
 Turkey
is known for its abundant and impressive ancient sites, beautiful
landscapes, complex and exotic culture, and its gourmet cuisine,
but visitors are most impressed by the gracious hospitality of
the Turkish people. On a Wildland Adventure in Turkey you’ll
be staying with our Turkish friends in some of the most charming
and memorable accommodations. In Cappadoccia, Haydar Hykar is
our host at his amazing Elkep
Evi Cave Hotel built into the side
of a mountain. Mujde and Sevan Nisanyan have preserved several
small homes in the historic village of Sirince in the coastal
hills above the ancient Roman city of Ephesus. They host
us at their Nisanyan
Evleri Guest Houses, a five-room inn and
three comfortable furnished houses where we wake up to the
daily routine of a small peaceful village.

Heart-to-Heart
Connections
EAST AFRICA MAASAILAND
SAFARI
 Although
nature, wildlife and archaeology are often the most anticipated
experiences on a Wildland Adventure, our travelers often discover
it is the heart-to-heart connections
from authentic cross-cultural
encounters that are the most meaningful and lasting memories
of their trip with us. Check out this feature story about our
Maasailand Safari in a recent issue of the online publication: The
Cultured Traveler. This exclusive travel experience is the
result of a unique partnership between Wildland Adventures and
the Maasai Environmental Resource Coalition to offer active and
inquisitive travelers the rare opportunity to experience authentic
Maasai culture while exploring the great game parks of East Africa.

HOLIDAY TRAVEL

Year holiday.

Here’s
another way to cast your ballot this season: travel. We make a
statement when we go on vacation. We buck the fear and intimidation
of travel today and re-establish our individual place in the world
by reconnecting with nature, marveling at our ancestry at ancient
sites, and connecting with local people who come to know us as
caring and interested Americans no matter what our personal political
persuasion or the agenda of our government.
