The Olympics are almost upon us, but thousands of Sydney residents are so sick of all the hype that they are planning to get out of town during the two-week sporting extravaganza, from September 15 to October 1. The Classic Safari Company, a well-known adventure tourism firm based in New South Wales, is cashing in by offering the disenchanted 'Olympic Escapes'. If you want to get as far away from Olympics coverage as possible, then climbing Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, would be hard to beat. Classic Safari is also arranging hiking trips in Morocco and camping safaris in Botswana.
