...what a fabulous time I had on the Masai Mara Escarpment Trek. The open spaces of the Mara with animals everywhere was just stunning! I felt extremely privileged for the opportunity to trek across the escarpment and be in an area unfrequented by tourists...the best travel experience to date!

Sunglasses Amnesty: Aside from the impact of cold weather at high altitude, Himalayan porters, like all trekkers, are at risk of snow blindness. This painful condition is caused by extreme UV levels whcih kill the outer cells of the eyeball leading to blindness. Such problems can be easily avoided by wearing effective sunglasses that filter UVA and UVB radiation and so prevent damage to the eye. We hope to collect 1000 pairs of sunglasses before the start of next year's trekking season so please bring any old pairs of sunglasses to the show with you (Category 3) and help Porters Progress reach their target. Glasses will be collected at the ticket desk or hand them to a Porters Progress representative.
