Happy Trails!

As you've probably figured out by the lack of posts here, we've retired from accessible travel blogging. However, we will still maintain the list of Northern California wheelchair accessible trails and there's still a ton of content on our site that will stay as an archive. It's been fun and rewarding. We'll still be traveling but will no longer be posting about our travels.Happy Accessible Trails to you all!www.musickchannel.com

    We strongly believe and practice the non-discriminative policy of assisting and helping the physically challenged and elderly people to visit Rwanda, and experience its tourist attractions, including savanna wildlife game viewing and game drives, Motor Boat excursion trips on Lake Kivu, chimpanzee trekking, gorilla tracking, and the Golden monkeys trekking.

    We provide experienced Porters and the Rwandan traditional Stretchers in which the physically challenged and elderly people are carried, as they track the chimpanzees, gorillas, or the Golden monkeys.

    Access Rwanda Safaris Ltd is probably the ONLY Tour Operating Company in Rwanda that provides these unique facilities and services to make it possible for almost everybody to enjoy Rwanda’s varied tourist attractions and services.

    Partners who like to represent our tailor made travel in Rwanda and Uganda are always welcome: Please sent your mail to info@access-rwanda-safaris.com

    In doing some research, I came across this video of a guy in a wheelchair bungy jumping at what very much looks like the place I jumped in Cairns, Australia. Now that takes cojones on wheels...
