January 2008	Edition 023


	We've told you once, but that won't stop us! It's the season of winter blues, credit card bills and tax demands. Still, if you want to plan an adventure holiday or trip of a lifetime with Dragoman visit us at one of the travel shows listed below. If you haven't overlanded before, you'll never get a better chance to experience what it's like. Our truck will be at all the shows (except the Adventure Travel Show - London, too big, sorry!) giving you the chance to get on board, listen to slideshows and talk to crew. You might even be one of our lucky winners as we are giving away 3 trips per show to either Africa, Asia or South America.

Kenya - modified itineraries

	The civil unrest in Kenya is a real concern for anyone with an interest in the jewel of East Africa. Since the troubles flared up Dragoman Operations team have worked tirelessly to get passengers and trucks into neighbouring countries. All our trips in East Africa have been re-itinerised and routed to ensure that passengers still have a first class overland experience whilst avoiding the uncertainty of Kenya. Our Operations team will continue to monitor the situation closely and we intend to reintroduce Kenya to our itineries as soon as the country is deemed safe. For full information of itinerary changes for trips leaving up to mid-March please hit the link Find out more here...

	This month's newsletter is edited by Stuart. He's the talkative one in the Sales Team who is never knowingly used one word when two will do. His experience ranges from a life on the beat in East London to picking mushrooms at his house in south west France. Just back from the Gorillas in Uganda his enthusiasm for East Africa remains undimmed. To see details of his trip check out Find out more here...

A splash of colour

	If you need something to keep you going through these grey months why not book onto our Jodhpurs and Jackaranda trip on the 11th April. It is a very colourful trip taking in all the delights and sounds that India has to offer. It starts in Mumbai and over the 15 nights you get to see the temples of Ellora, beautiful Udaipur, relax in Pushkar, explore the blue city of Jodhpur, take a camel safari in the Thar Desert with Rajasthani camel drivers and finally end in the cosmopolitan belly of Delhi.

Salsa salsa!!

	For some real South American excitement we still have spaces on our 'Salsa and the Spanish Main' trip which goes from Caracas to Quito. This is a fantastic trip which takes in the beautiful National Parks of Venezuela and also soaks up the hospitality and culture of Colombia. It is a trip not to be missed with lots of local interaction, unspoilt beaches with plenty of opportunity to go trekking, hiking, snorkelling and riding - what is there not to like?
