BIKE RIDERS ANNOUNCES GUEST PHOTOGRAPHY TRIP IN SOUTH AFRICA
(March 19, 2008) Boston, Mass. - Bike Riders, the luxury biking and hiking travel company is thrilled to announce a new specialty trip designed for the biking and photography enthusiast; South Africa: Exhilaration of the Wild, a Guest Photographer Adventure. Award-winning photojournalist team, Erik Jacobs and Dina Rudick join Bike Riders through the winelands and wild of South Africa. Learn the skills of a pro and take the photos you've always dreamed about. The Bike Riders 10-day journey from Capetown to Shamwari Game Reserve is set to depart November 11-19, 2008. Along with daily biking through vineyards, wine tastings and safari excursions, the trip offers techniques to compose the perfect picture including the optimal lighting and moment to capture your vision. Plus learn how to make the most of your camera equipment. Like all Bike Riders trips, the group size is small (16 is the absolute maximum allowing for exclusive attention), the pace is your own and you will indulge in luxurious accommodations and gourmet meals.
"South Africa just seemed to be the logical destination for our new trip...where else can you spot the big 5 and come home with your professional photos to prove it," said Bike Riders' Director Lorenzo De Monaco. We wanted to pick the appropriate destination for this once in a lifetime adventure." In addition to guest photographers, Erik Jacobs and Dina Rudick, the trip will be lead by seasoned guide, Andy Dickerson. For the past eight years when Andy Dickerson has not been leading Bike Riders trips throughout France, Spain & Ireland, he's traveling the southern hemisphere discovering and living South Africa. So who better to lead Bike Riders' first exclusive adventure than Andy. Our adventure promises raw untamed beauty matched with Bike Riders luxury.
