We are offering some great Southern Africa Summer Safaris this year, including Beach holidays, Family Packages, Golf tours, Holistic Healing Holidays and Honeymoons. (By the way, did you know that "Safari" is the Swahili word for "Journey"?)

FEATURED SPECIAL:

Any bookings made now until 21st of September 2007 with us for Safari in South Luangwa Valley will receive an additional 20% off! South Luangwa is known as one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, and with good reason. The concentration of game around the Luangwa river and it's lagoons is among the most intense in Africa.  The now famous 'walking safari' originated in this park and is still one of the finest ways to experience this excellent wilderness first hand. The changing seasons add to the Park's richness ranging from dry, bare bushveld in the winter to a lush green wonderland in summer. South Luangwa is also renowned for its magnificent leopard sightings. This a pure exhilarating game-viewing and birding experience at its best.

Also in the news, the Peace Parks, the Transfrontier Park initiative is doing well around Southern and East Africa. This is of major symbolic importance to the world, and the fifth one, being launched early September this year, is definitely worthy of note. Stretching from the Maloti Drakensberg Mountains the Transfrontier Park, which will be formed once the remaining sections of border fence between Sehlabathebe National Park in Lesotho and the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site in South Africa, are removed. This area is significant and very important and will allow for better conservation management and will most certainly enhance South Africa's tourism offering.

I'm sure we don't have to educate you about the Western Cape and its magnificent beaches, excellent mountain ranges and gorgeous lagoons - the area speaks for itself and needs no introduction.  For Fun in the Sun, this is where its at!

If you or your clients are considering a holiday in Africa for Christmas and New Year, you'll need to book soon to avoid any disappointment. It is peak seasons and availability in lodges & hotels and seats on international flights get booked up early.

Kind Regards
