8 Days / 7 Nights
In Egypt the 1960s a dam was built on the Nile at Aswan. The
resulting lake flooded over 300 miles of the Egypt's Nile valley
creating one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. With a surface
area of over 2,400 square miles and virtually no commercial or private
fishing pressure the resident fish population has thrived. The lake
offers terrific angling combined with a lovely place to visit.
Its a magical wilderness of stunning desert scenery, bordered by
the clean water of the lake which is dotted with rocky islands. Over
100 species of birds have been recorded with crocodiles, monitor
lizards, Dorcas gazelles, golden jackals, desert foxes all finding the perfect habitat. This tour
is a safari in the truest meaning of the term. You are roughing it by
camping literally miles away from any civilization. The stars are your
ceiling with a step behind the rocks your bathroom. This adventure
holiday will not last long. Soon more people will come and this
vacation paradise will be corrupted. Enjoy it today!!
