A SWINGING SAFARI - IN THEIR OWN WORDS – Just back from Kenya – a report back from a 2AFRIKA valued passenger

MONDAY, MARCH 23RD, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Dear Mr. Hieber, I just returned from a once in a lifetime holiday to Kenya with my grandmother. I was completely unprepared for the depth of care shown to us. In my traveling past I've experienced "fair" service provided by kind people

Dom and Thomas crippled me with their dedication, overseeing each detail from smiling airport welcome, handling our baggage, accommodation check in and daily briefs of our next day's plan

Dominik taught me about the people, the wildlife, the flowers and trees of a number of regions of Kenya. This information will be lovingly shared with my children and anyone else who inquires just as he shared it with me. I never felt like a tourist, I felt like an honored guest. I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful arrangements

I will return, if not for any other reason than to visit my new friends in Kenya

A SWINGING SAFARI - IN THEIR OWN WORDS – Just back from Kenya – a report back from a 2AFRIKA valued passenger

SUNDAY, MARCH 22ND, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Hello Kenneth:

I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for arranging our recent trip to Kenya. My granddaughter and I had a fabulous time, and she was fortunate to see the “Big Five” on her first time to East Africa! How lucky is that?!! But, perhaps it wasn’t all luck, as we had the best guide in East Africa, Dominik, the guide you recommended. With the rainy season just starting, there were many lovely, colorful plants and flowers just starting to bloom, truly a feast for the eyes

All the accommodations you arranged for us on our “Swinging Safari” were first-rate, and the service was impeccable. Your agents in Nairobi did everything they could to insure our safety and comfort – I’ve never felt as “pampered” as I have been while in Kenya, not only on this trip but on the three previous ones that you’ve done for me

My granddaughter is already talking about saving for another trip to Kenya, taking her children with her this time, and, of course you know that I will be scheming to find a way back there soon, as well!

Thank you once again for a delightful trip!

Treva S

KENYA CLASSIC - IN THEIR OWN WORDS – Just back from Kenya – a report back from a 2AFRIKA valued passenger

SATURDAY, MARCH 14TH, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Dear Kenneth,

Made it back with just one glitch due to a delayed flight from JFK but it all worked out well as I got a good night's rest before continuing on home.

The arrangements you made for the KENYA CLASSIC SAFARI were terrific. When I arrived at the Nairobi Safari Club, I thought there must have been a mistake. I don't normally stay in such fancy surroundings but it was wonderful and the entire staff was terrific. I felt at home with their many kindnesses to me. They were like mother hen's too.

I already told you how great the flight to Nairobi was and the flight back was okay but had a lot more people on it so I was unable to stretch out anywhere. But the airlines were good and I appreciate your getting me there and back in comfort.

The lodges were amazing and your local guide and driver was truly an encyclopedia on Kenya. There was a couple from Germany on the trip and we became friends quickly. It was a great group to be with.

I felt like I was in the Arabian nights when we came back from our first evening game drive in Maasai Mara and the room had been turned down for the night and the mosquito netting was flowing all around the bed. All the lodges were comfortable and the staff so friendly and helpful. They all made me feel as an honored guest.

We saw the big five during our first two drives!! I think I have probably taken at least 2000 photos. Won't bore you with them as you see the real thing and my photo attempts are truly amateur. It was a trip of a lifetime and I certainly hope that I will be able to make another one in this lifetime of mine.

You made it a wonderful trip and for that I do thank you. I did not want to return from "your" and now "my" Africa. I so enjoyed the pace of life and the natural beauty. The warm weather was good too. They all were concerned that it was too hot for me. I like hot. But alas I had to return to work so I can make more money to return. If you ever see a job opening listed for a postal clerk in Kenya let me know and I will return and apply.

Thank you again. You went above and beyond your duty to a client.

God Bless.

DK

Kenneth

I just want to thank you for arranging such a wonderful part of my recent trip to Southern Africa

The AT ONE WITH THE ANIMAL KINGDOM Safari was outstanding, and everything worked like clockwork. The safaris were excellent and the operators and accommodations were as well. With the other parts of my trip, including my week at the Kruger National Park with friends, the trips to Mozambique, Swaziland, Cape Town, Stellenbosch and the Garden Route, I can safely say that it was an adventure of a lifetime. I loved every minute of it

Thanks again for your help in making it such a fantastic experience

NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Join 2AFRIKA Founder & President, Kenneth R. Hieber for an evening of R&B entertainment featuring the incomparable OLETA ADAMS on May 23rd, 2009!

Since the runaway success of her 1990 debut album "Circle of One," and the impassioned hit single "Get Here" – the Brenda Russell composition that became an unofficial anthem of the 1991 Gulf War – Oleta Adams has inspired a growing legion of fans in the U.S. and Europe with journeys of the heart, songs that draw deeply from her roots in Gospel, while crossing effortlessly into the realms of soul, R&B, urban, and popular music

Her success, nurtured by worldwide tours with Tears for Fears, Michael Bolton, and Luther Vandross, have been solidified by three Grammy nominations and a seemingly bottomless well of creative energy "Adams' exquisite voice is an instrument whose high end vibrated in stunning clarity and whose bottom range resonates richly." ---Rolling Stone Magazine "She performs within the pop lexicon without letting it transform or cheapen her talents"

Her classically trained voice is nuanced, and she coaxes quiet tears from her listeners as often as she inspires spontaneous, one-person standing ovations. She dares to be overtly inspirational, vulnerable and loving." ---The New York Times

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


As if we haven’t enough to deal with in keeping up with ‘Travel Trends’ - this certainly is the cherry on the top!

First they took away the peanuts, then the pillows and blankets. Now an airline is mulling over charging for toilet usage, too?

The CEO of European low-cost carrier Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, has caught the attention of the world anew when he announced that he may soon be installing pay toilets, which “would lower ticket costs and make flying, somehow, easier for all.”

"One thing we have looked at in the past, and are looking at again, is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door, so that people might have to actually spend a pound to 'spend a penny' in future," O'Leary was quoted as saying

In a BBC Television interview, the Ryanair boss was asked what would happen if a customer really had to go but didn't have correct change, O'Leary said, "I don't think there's anybody in history (who has) gone on board a Ryanair aircraft with less than a pound (US$1.42).”

Stephen McNamara, spokesman for the Ireland-based carrier, said the idea of in-flight pay toilets is part of a logical trend. "Michael makes a lot of this stuff up as he goes along and, while this has been discussed internally, there are no immediate plans to introduce it," McNamara was quoted as saying

He added, "Passengers using train and bus stations are already accustomed to paying to use the toilet, so why not on airplanes? Not everyone uses the toilet on board one of our flights, but those that do could help to reduce airfares for all passengers."

However, given O’Leary’s track record of having a proclivity for the outrageous in his effort to gain free publicity, the latest remark may just be another one of his shenanigans

The idea isn’t far-fetched considering Ryanair is looked upon as the pioneer in charging passengers to check bags, to use a check-in desk, and even to use a credit or debit card to make an online booking. Howard Wheeldon, senior strategist at BGC Partners in London, told MSNBC that there might be some truth to O'Leary's statement. "This begs a simple question retort of: Is there absolutely nothing that this airline won't do? Not really, so if you are thinking about flying cattle-class Ryanair in the future, beware.”
