Moutain Climbing  For your lifetime adventure, climb to the ‘roof of Africa’ with us.

We will ascend some of the highest mountains in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and Mount Kenya in Kenya. 
Heritage Tourism  The terms heritage tourism and cultural tourism are often used interchangeably. This class of tourism has been one of the fastest growing segments of the travel industry. This kind of tourism combines history, culture and nature in both urban and rural contexts, and takes into consideration important global issues.
Purpose Driven Touring  If tourism can benefit local communities and local people, then we have a win win situation that gurantees sustainability and prosperity. LES promotes purpose driven trourism covering project trips, mission trips. Arranged homestays and student internships are also optimized for the benefit of the community visited.   
Environmentally Friendly Tourism  As the new millennium unfolds, we are becoming increasingly aware of the finite, interconnected and precious nature of our planet home. Likewise, tourism is becoming an increasingly popular expression of this awareness. With advances in transportation and information technology, ever more remote areas of the earth are coming within reach of the traveler. In fact, tourism is now the world's largest industry, with nature tourism the fastest growing segment.
