Idea D: Planning for a trip to the game reserves and Victoria Falls[Z]Masaai Mara[K]Akagera National Park[R]Outamba-Kilimi National Park[S]
Imagine you have two overseas visitors who have just arrived in Lusaka[Z]Nairobi[K]Kigali[R]Freetown[S] and would like to visit a game reserve near Lusaka[Z]Nairobi[K]Kigali[R]Freetown[S], plus the Victoria Falls[Z]Masaai Mara[K]Akagera National Park[R]Outamba-Kilimi National Park[S] and one other interesting site by car. The two visitors only have one day to visit these three places by car. Can you inform the visitors about the distance to these places from Lusaka[Z]Nairobi[K]Kigali[R]Freetown[S] city centre? Can you also suggest an itinerary that will take into consideration the shortest distance of travel to and between the three places, starting and ending at Lusaka[Z]Nairobi[K]Kigali[R]Freetown[S] city centre? Please state the distance of travelling to each place and the approximate time required to travel.

Make sure that you do consider the practical arrangements for this trip! In the itinerary: decide on the length of your imaginary journey and work out the travelling time, but also think about the practical arrangements: how much luggage (water, food, equipment) will you need to take and how will you be able to carry this? Are there any elderly people or young children in your party, who might need special provision, such as extra food, or more frequent stops?
