I found a great place for Adventure/EcoTours in The Philippines

Scuba, Bird Watching, Sailing, Caving, Volcano expedition, Trekking, raftering, water falls. Lots of History too.

What looks fun is living in the jungle with the villagers and helping them

Have a look: www.Go2Philippines.com

We had a great adventure. We're going back later this year too.

Visited parkmall today. Out of Africa BBQ and Steakhouse is on soft opening. This is my report! Details come from the manager and owners who gave me a tour....it is like a museum!

The restaurant is amazing, animal heads, African paintings and sculptures. There is a African Safari Lodge upstairs that is not yet finished, since they are on soft opening. An original 100 year old bar from South Africa and separate antique wine rack.

They have a Father's Day special of CROCODILE. The ownertold me that they would have Ostrich, Wild Boar, Water Buffalo, Turtle, Deer, Lamb, Venison, Goat, Iguana and other exotic meats after their grand opening in July of 2009.

The chef was trained by two of the Out of Africa Group chefs from South Africa. I met Mike who is the on site consultant from South Africa, watching over the menu and operations. He said there is another Out of Africa Fastfood Franchise under construction elsewhere in Cebu.
Also an Out of Africa Sports Bar is being located near J.Y.

So this is great, a major international franchise has come to Cebu first, before Manila!

The manager told me that they tested the menu for 6 months in Cebu, before opening the first franchise and their flagship restaurant in the Philippines of Out of Africa BBQ and Steakhouse in Parkmall.

The crocodile was great!
