Sadly, not of all them can make it. You’ll find the best of those that didn’t below.

From Erika in Newcastle, Australia

“I’m not generally a big fan of the desert when we arrived at the camp ground at Turmi in Ethiopia, a sense of calm came over me.

The best bit about the camp ground was the cold shower and the Hamer tribesman ‘valet’ who put up my tent and helped in any way needed.”
