ABOUT Volcano Expedition International
VEI was founded in December 1997 as a specialized travel-company for expedition and trekking to active volcanoes worldwide. Christoph Weber started already as a child visiting active volcanoes and he can count more than 150 volcanoes to be visited by him today. He made it to the crater by half of those volcanoes and he has experienced some of them with spectacular eruptions. Volcanoes such as Etna, Stromboli and Oldoinyo Lengai are called "second home" by himself. Some of his greatest travel challenges were at Rep. of Kongo (Nyiragongo), Ethiopia (Erta Ale), Chile (Nevado Ojos , 6893 m), Nicaragua, Tonga, Guatemala and Columbia.
We try our best!
... I went on a trip with Chris to Lengai in Tanzania; this was the most amazing trip in my life. First, Chris is a real authentic and charismatic vulcano expert who is always happy to share information and allows everyone to get the best of him all the
time. Second, the trip was quite exhausitng, nevertheless, he motivated me to do
it and got me up and down safely. Third, Chris is very liked by the locals in
Tanzania which allows the fellow travellers to have access to a world not open to the
Abercrombie's. A lot of preparation goes into the trekking tours. Chris
himself enjoys it very much and as such is a guarantor for an unusual, exciting
holiday experience. Hope this does not change a long time.
Myself, I am looking into Costa Rica for 2005.
