Safari Game Camps by bicycle

Butterfield & Robinson is offering a safari tour by bicycle (and hiking).

Forget the old-fashion and 'overly-done' traditional jeep tours for something so much more exciting and - yes, adventurous. Clients will explore the wildlife and great outdoors by bike and by foot. Specifically the tour will take you to the back country of the Namibian territory.

The lodges and meals are still high-end, but the mode of transportation is more authentic and intimate to the surroundings.

Have no doubt, the itinerary is ambitious, but rewarding. The farthest destinations are traveled by private plane. Making the overall experience 'hard-won' luxury.

The Benson Hotel - Portland, Oregon

Adventure Woman says one of the best walking cities/areas in the USA is downtown Portland, Oregon, and the Benson Hotel is the Grand Dame of the locale.

You can walk from your hotel to great shopping, fabulous eats and wonderful entertainment. The Benson Hotel is a historic downtown landmark with a great restaurant and upscale bar area. During the holiday season they feature an enormous and beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The foyer is decorated as well, and will get even 'scrooge' into the holiday spirit.

Take a leisurely stroll to Pioneer Square for some pre-holiday shopping or check out Nordstroms - an Oregon classic. Nike was founded in Oregon and so was Columbia. As a consequence, you'll find both stores within striking distance.

For a truly great time head to Powell's - arguably the best, if not the biggest bookstore. The floors of books will leave any bibliophile dumbfounded and utterly engrossed for hours. A book makes a timeless and thoughtful present for anyone at any age.
