That was just the best gift for them, My point is whether you want to surprise your parents, or want to personally visit for the Bible Experience or Pleasure, or perhaps you want to sponsor  someone, students, organisation etc. to Israel. Hadur Travels is your best option.

I plan to travel with Hadur Travels soon and trust me to fill you in with the full details of my experience with photographs. I fully recommend them. If you live outside Nigeria, you can plan to travel with the tour group.

INSPIRATION

The inspiration to start Hadur Travels came as a result of my regular Pilgrimage trips to Israel and after retiring from Great Nigeria Insurance Company where I worked for 25 years I was implored to organize a Pilgrimage for some set of people to Israel. From there, the idea of organizing and packaging Tours was born.

“We do check up on our clients who have attended one or more of our agro-study tours to Israel, Songhai in Benin Republic or any other place.  We also package Study Tours too. So as we prepare for our next round of study tours in August 10 – 14, 2014 to Songhai and Israel on the 14th – 21st September respectively, we checked up on some of our past agro-tourists to find out how well they have implemented what they learnt during the tours…..

Kingsley Edemi  works with an oil company, owns an importation business and a farm business centre in Mosagar, Delta state. He says:

My journey to Songhai, Benin Republic  has been a great and supporting milestone in my present day achievement. After my return to Warri, Delta state from Songhai I started my own Farm and named the company Memekings Farm which is situated at an area close to Sapele town name ‘Mosogar”.

I got a large expanse of land and presently I have six solid fish ponds which were built by some of the Songhai experts. I have almost completed the building for the piggery and I hope to start pig farming by July ending. I have several crops such as cucumber, lettuce, onion, pepper, cabbage, sweet corn, pumpkin leaves, waterleaf, water melon, tomato, okra and carrots. I have also harvested my first cucumber and they were cool.”
