    You have arrived at the Pyramids. The Pyramids of Giza, just outside Cairo in Egypt, represent one of the greatest architectural feats by man. The last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the world's oldest tourist attractions; built more than 5000 years ago. You were going to take a camel ride to the Pyramids, but there are no camels in sight. Instead you will take a taxi to the Pyramids to find a guide that will have your camel. You have 3 guides to choose from. One guide will have located your camel; one will have a health/fitness challenge to complete; and one will have a Wii Exercise challenge to complete. If you do not choose the guide with your animal, you will have to complete the posted challenge before picking another guide. Once you have found your Camel you may continue to the next destination

    Your pick is the camel.

    You are traveling to Djenne in Mali. You will need to accumulate 10,000 steps to make your way to the Djenne.

    You have arrived at the Omo River. With more than 50 unique tribes living in the Omo River Region of Southwestern Ethiopia, it's a fascinating destination for those interested in African culture. This remote location is barely accessible by 4 wheel-drive, but you will still be touring the region. You will be spending a few nights in each village and these are not luxury camps by any means. Your tour will also include a section down the Omo River which is great for white-water rafting. While exploring this great location, you will be looking for a Hyena. You will be choosing a guide for your white –water rafting and search for a hyena. Of course you will have 3 guides to choose from to complete your task of locating a hyena. One guide will have located your hyena; one will have a health/fitness challenge to complete; and one will have a Wii Exercise challenge to complete. If you do not choose the guide with your animal you will have to complete the posted challenge before picking another guide. Once you have found your hyena you may continue to the next destination.

    You have arrived in Cape Town. While in Cape Town, you will visit a huge slab of sandstone, 1086m high and 3km long, smack in the middle of town - that is Table Mountain. Table Mountain's top is often shrouded in clouds commonly known as the mountain's "tablecloth". Penguins are native to the beach around Cape Town. While on your tour of Table Mountain, you will need to find a guide to take you to where the Penguins frequent. You have 3 guides to choose from. One guide will have located your Penguin; one will have a health/fitness challenge to complete; and one will have a Wii Exercise challenge to complete. If you do not choose the guide with your animal you will have to complete the posted challenge before picking another guide. Once you have found your Penguin you may continue to the next destination.

    Your pick is the penguin.

    You have arrived in Djenne. Djenne, founded in 800 AD, is one of sub-Saharan Africa's oldest cities. Situated on an island in the Niger River delta, Djenne was a natural hub for traders who shuttled their goods between the Sahara desert and the forests of Guinea. You will be visiting the Grande Mosque. It is the largest mud-brick building in the world. Each year the people of Djenne get together to repair the building. You are going to help with repairs and, in the process, find a Senegal Parrot. You have 3 guides to choose from. One guide will have located your Parrot; one will have a health/fitness challenge to complete; and one will have a Wii Exercise challenge to complete. If you do not choose the guide with your animal, you will have to complete the posted challenge before picking another guide. Once you have found your Parrot, you may continue to the next destination

    Your pick is a parrot.
