Chasing the Horizon Tour's plan

South Africa is a vast and diverse country. With the area of over 1,2 million square kilometers one needs a lot of time to thoroughly explore this country. We don't have so much time so we were forced to compromise. Compiling out tour's plan was an incredibly difficult task. After many heated discussions and democratic voting we worked out a satisfactory solution. Our glory lasted until professor Olivier saw the itinerary. As a driver and a person who actually knows South Africa he put the finishing touches (quite a few of them) and here it is, ready to be applied, the official plan of our tour.

We are also very proud to announce that our preparations for the tour are in full swing. We are very active in looking for sponsors and media exposure. We have written to many institutions and organizations and there is a lot of interest in our initiative. If you are carefully following our blog you can see how quickly it changes. Almost every day there is a new institution's logo in the right side of our blog, whether it is a sponsor, a media patron or a friend.

And speaking of media! Tomorrow, two representatives of our group, Adrian and Zuza, will give an interview in the local television! 11.12.2015 at 8:30 at WTK television, in a Poranek WTK with Liliana Skibińska they will talk about our tour! It is a must-see! It will be very interesting and, knowing Adrian i Zuza, highly entertaining! If you don't have WTK or television you can livestream it here: http://wtkplay.pl/live

We encourage you to watch it as well as follow our blog, with the tour being so close we have a lot to report!
