AS REPORTED IN BUDGET TRAVEL REAL DEALS - JUNE 05, 09

REAL DEALS

Botswana & Namibia, Air/Hotel, From $2,099

This six-night trip includes guided game drives and riverboat cruises, plus tours of Victoria Falls and a village in Namibia.

Friday, June 5, 2009

The Real Deal Round-trip airfare on South Africa Airways, transfers, six nights' accommodations, 17 meals, three game drives, three riverboat cruises, a sightseeing tour of Victoria Falls and a Namibian village, entrance fees, and the services of an English-speaking guide, from $2,099 per person—plus $295 in taxes.

When Departs daily Sept. 12–Dec. 9, 2009; add $150 for Jan. 7–Apr. 30, 2010. While Botswana's wildlife is active year-round, October is a great time to go—it's between the tourist high season and the rainy season, which begins in November. If you're most interested in bird-watching, don't shy away from the rainy season, as the birds come out in full force then.

Gateways New York City; add $250 for Chicago, Detroit, Memphis; $275 for Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City; and $325 for Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle.

The Fine Print Does not include taxes of $295 per person. Based on double occupancy; single supplement is $420. Maximum group size is eight people. Read these guidelines before you book any Real Deal.

Book By July 5, 2009.

Contact 2Afrika, 866/462-2374, 2afrika.com.

Why It's a Deal In a recent Kayak search, we found a flight between New York City and Johannesburg for travel in September for $1,047. For $1,347 more, including taxes, 2Afrika's package also coordinates accommodations and experiences that might be hard to book on your own—safari drives and activities (with an English-speaking guide, a valuable asset), most meals, and transfers—all in one booking. 2Afrika provides a 100 percent money-back guarantee if you need to cancel your trip up to 60 days in advance—and gives you the reassurance of working with a tour operator that specializes in travel to Africa. This package is one of five new air-inclusive vacations that 2Afrika has introduced because of lower airfares now available on South African Airways.

Itinerary Highlights After an overnight flight, you'll land in Johannesburg, South Africa, and board a two-hour flight to Victoria Falls. Then transfer to your base for six nights, the Chobe Safari Lodge. The next few days are devoted to game-viewing drives and boat cruises in Chobe National Park; there's also an included full-day tour of Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwe side. Boat cruises are along the Chobe River, where you will see indigenous fish and birds. The national park is known for its elephant population; giraffes, zebras, and buffalo have also been spotted there. Another highlight is a morning walk to a Namibian village, where you'll meet locals and learn about their culture. Click here for full itinerary.

More Add a stopover in Johannesburg for $95 per person. 2Afrika can help you book nights there or tack on another one of their safaris.

Before You Go U.S. citizens will need a valid passport; a visa is not required for travel in South Africa or Botswana. For the scheduled short visits to Zimbabwe and Namibia, you will need visas, which you can obtain at the point of entry. For Zimbabwe, expect to pay about $30 per person; Namibia's fee fluctuates but will probably be about the same. Remember that you'll have a tour guide to help you with the details. Read more about entry requirements on the State Department's travel fact sheets for Zimbabwe and Namibia. Read more about Botswana on the U.S. State Department's travel fact sheet or the country's official tourism site.

As reported in AOL money & finance - 2AFRIKA, INC. Launches the 'Big Five' New Air-Inclusive African Safaris, Starting From $1,999 p/p

TUESDAY, JUNE 02, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Staying true to its founding mission of keeping Africa affordable, 2AFRIKA, INC. announced today that five new Air-Inclusive Safaris will be launched in the BUDGET TRAVEL section of the evolving African Safari Collection this week

First up is BT KEEN ON KENYA, a scheduled 9-Day Air-Inclusive Safari to Kenya departing each Tuesday from New York City with a starting from price of $2,199 per person.

BT KEEN ON KENYA visits Nairobi, the Aberdare National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park and the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve and includes: Scheduled round-trip air routed New York City / Johannesburg / Nairobi / Johannesburg / New York City; round trip Airport / Hotel / Airport transfers upon arrival and departure; all overland transfers required throughout the itinerary; 6 Nights accommodation; 14 meals; 7 Safari Game Viewing Drives; and the services of a highly qualified Driver/Guide while on Safari.

2AFRIKA, INC.'s founder and president, Kenneth R. Hieber, points out that in order to qualify for these incredible specials, travelers will need to reserve and pay as a simultaneous transaction. Conscious about world economics, he adds, "Everyone deserves a vacation, and unless travelers reserve their Safaris well in advance, they never stand a chance of qualifying for special deals." That is why Hieber has introduced a unique "no questions asked" 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE to encourage would-be Safari travelers to act now and preplan for 2010.

2AFRIKA, INC. follows BT KEEN ON KENYA with BT THE RULES OF THE WILD, BT THE GRAND COMBO, BT A SEASON OF PLENTY and finally, BT SAWUBONA.

Traveling to East Africa via Johannesburg permits travelers to combine the vast open plains of the Maasai Mara National Reserve with other destinations in Southern Africa like the Kruger National Park, Cape Town, the Victoria Falls, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia.

With Air-Inclusive Safari prices starting from $1,999 per person, handsome children discounts, an eclectic variety of options, all topped by 2AFRIKA's "no questions asked" 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, Hieber believes that American travelers should take immediate action, for once this promotion is over, it is unlikely to be repeated.

2AFRIKA, INC.

For over 25 years, New York City-based 2AFRIKA, INC. has been America's leading trendsetting destination specialist to Africa. The company has programs that span the length of the African continent to suit the traveler in everyone, both time and price wise. Owner managed and operated, 2AFRIKA, INC. will officially launch five new Air-Inclusive Safaris to Africa this week
