Last chance to join Kenneth Hieber on Safari in Kenya and Tanzania


Warm greetings to you - I do as always hope that my message finds you well.

You may or may not know that I will be accompanying a group of guests to Kenya and Tanzania in May 2012. I am taking a maximum of 42 2AFRIKA guests along with me and there are only a few spaces left at this time, which is why I am writing - to remind you that if you would like to join me, you should make your reservations right away.

A detailed itinerary is available on our website now. For all of the information that you need to make an informed decision, please Click Here.

At $3,999 (excluding air) per person with no single supplement applicable for guests who would like to enjoy the privacy of their own accommodation, this is one of the very best 'limited offer' safaris available at this time. And all of my guests will accompany me for a balloon flight over the vast plains of the Serengeti National Park, followed by a full English breakfast.

The safaris that I accompany are enormously enjoyable safaris and I do hope that you too will consider joining me on this amazing adventure of a lifetime.

I look most forward to hearing from you and to assisting you with your reservation and as always, I assure you of my very best and most personal attention both here at home before we leave and whilst we are on safari together in Africa.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS - Back from Kenya and Tanzania


THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



KENYA
TANZANIA



Dear Kenneth,

Just a quick note to tell you we had a fantastic time on our EAST AFRICAN EXPLORER.

Everything went without a glitch, and all of the lodges were wonderful, as was the service and food at every one. Our guide Moudy on safaris was a kind, quiet and knowledgeable man with a great sense of humor We saw hundreds of animals, including the 'Big Five'.

Our safari mates were a blast! When I found out they were cops, I thought they'd be a bit stodgy, but they were great fun, loved their cocktails (as we all do), and we'll probably keep in touch with them.

Anyway, thanks so much for all of your good work, and when I get a chance, I'm going to post a nice review for 2AFRIKA on Trip Advisor (when I do, I'll send you the link).


Yours sincerely, Scott, Anthony and Katie – Providence RI

2AFRIKA, INC. is without doubt an American Dream come true.

Born from an insatiable desire to Keep Africa Affordable, 2AFRIKA, INC. opened doors to the American traveler in the summer of 1995. From humble beginnings, the Company evolved into a multi-million dollar corporation in just a little over a decade.

Despite the negative connotation associated with the 'dot.com' era, 2AFRIKA, INC. is a full service Tour Operator / Travel Agency serving passengers from a global audience as well as from North America.

Our World Headquarters is located at 111 John Street in New York City, just a few minutes from Wall Street and you’re invited to stop by (appointments preferred) whenever you are in Manhattan.

Now known as 2AFRIKA, INC., the company is manned by talented and experienced people who, like the Founder & President Kenneth R. Hieber, were either born on the Continent or have visited Africa frequently for onsite training. Hieber sets the pace that drives the company and strives constantly to Keep Africa Affordable.

With Associates whose roots originate in Africa, we’re the only true African tour operator who can boldly claim that our passengers can rest assured that they will be dealt with by natives of the Continent whose tenure there exceeds a half-Century.

AFRICAN SAFARI CONCERNS BECOME PRESCIOUS MEMORIES


SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Here is a list of the things that worried me most before I took my first African safari:

A)Coming down with malaria, sleeping sickness, typhoid fever, and pretty much every other disease for which I had, and had not, been inoculated

B)Finding that our lodges in no way resembled the 'touched-up' photos on the websites. I feared everything from shabby rooms and broken-down generators, to holey mosquito netting around our beds

C)Having to eat bad, strange food while my supply of Imodium dwindled

D)Being attacked by rampaging elephants, hungry lions, enraged rhinos – you name it – while stranded in our disabled vehicle, under the broiling African sun

E)Getting stuck with miserable boring people while stranded in above vehicle

Was I being a bit neurotic?

My companion thought so.

Tom seemed mostly concerned about missing out on one or more of 'the big five'.

Maybe that’s just how a guy thinks.

Here is what we DID experience on our trip to Kenya and Tanzania:

On our first day we had a relaxing afternoon and fine poolside dinner under the setting Nairobi sun. Wow – we’re really here!! It was surprisingly cool and pleasant.

After a good night’s sleep we met our traveling companions, and split up into three safari vehicles bound for the Maasai Mara. Our fellow travelers hailed from the U.S., the U.K., Canada, New Zealand, and Belgium. What a terrific group!

Our guides in Kenya and Tanzania were wonderful. Geevon and Amari were not just punctual, courteous and friendly. They were great drivers, and amazingly well-informed about the local flora and fauna.

They were also mysterious. On our game drives, they were in constant radio contact with other guides. Eavesdropping was fruitless, although one of our friends did speak a smidgen of Swahili.

We all knew something was up when our driver would take a quick detour, and we’d go flying and bouncing over the sandy, rutted tracks. We were rewarded by a group of young male lions enjoying a juicy cape buffalo, leopards in trees with their kills, baby cheetahs chirping for their missing mom, white AND black rhino sightings and the ever-popular mating lions. We saw 'the big five' many times over – and so much more. Tom was a happy man.

After an early morning game drive, or at the end of the day, it was delightful to return to our lodge. Even by American standards, they were never disappointing – and sometimes downright luxurious. We enjoyed lovely spacious rooms, sparkling swimming pools, and stunning natural scenery. How impressive to be sipping a cocktail while viewing a panorama of Mt Kilimanjaro, the Ngorongoro crater or the Serengeti plains. The food was varied, plentiful and delicious, the hotel staff always gracious and smiling.

The nights and early mornings were often punctuated by the sounds, and occasional sights, of animals moving about. While at the Hemingway Bar viewing area at Amboseli Lodge, we were treated to the sight of the very rare Kenyan pussycat mingling with the mongooses. We always felt safe though – even neurotic me.

And yes, some of the roads are horrible, and sometimes vehicles have flat tires or mechanical issues (ours did once – and we all got out and pushed while Amari popped the clutch), but it’s all part of the adventure………and a great adventure it was.

PS. I still have a full packet of Imodium in my medicine cabinet!

OLDEST SKELETON SHINES NEW LIGHT ON HUMAN ORIGINS


FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


As reported in AFRICA - the good news Friday October 02, 2009

Anthropologists took the wraps off the oldest known human ancestor Thursday - a 4.4-million-year-old Ethiopian skeleton named Ardi, which challenges many long-held assumptions about how humans and apes evolved.

"It's not a chimp. It is not a human. It shows us what we used to be," said paleoanthropologist Tim White of the University of California-Berkeley, co-director of the research group that discovered and analyzed more than 110 specimens of the 4.4-million- year-old species Ardipithecus ramidus.

White was speaking at a Washington press conference a day before a series of 47 articles on the find are published in the American journal Science.

Ardi is the most complete skeleton among the specimens and is more than a million years older than the famous Lucy skeleton uncovered in the 1970s. She was found in 1992 in Ethiopia's harsh Afar desert at a site called Aramis, just 74 kilometres from where Lucy's species, Australopithecus afarensis, was found in 1974.

An initial paper was published in 1994, but the fossils were so fragile it took a further 15 years to reconstruct Ardi's skeleton and analyse it.

The findings provide scientists with information on what a common ancestor for humans and apes may have been like, with a mix of traits from earlier species and later species.

But Ardi and her species were less like modern apes than scientists expected - indicating that apes likely evolved extensively after scientists say the apes and humans diverged. This challenges the long-standing scientific belief that apes give a good look at what an early ancestor of humans may have looked like.

Small-brained, 120 centimetres tall and weighing about 50 kilograms, Ardipithecus ramidus lived in a wooded environment, climbing on all fours in the trees and walking on two feet on the ground, not walking on their knuckles like gorillas or swinging from the trees like chimps.

"So when you go from head to toe, you're seeing a mosaic creature that is neither chimpanzee, nor is it human. It is Ardipithecus," White said.

"Darwin said we have to be really careful. The only way we're really going to know what this last common ancestor looked like is to go and find it.

Well, at 4.4 million years ago we found something pretty close to it. And, just like Darwin appreciated, evolution of the ape lineages and the human lineage has been going on independently since the time those lines split, since that last common ancestor we shared," White said.

Why it's a deal: The Affordable Tanzania 2010 package breaks down to about $255 per person per night, including all taxes, and offers some experiences that would be hard to book on your own, like game drives in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Lake Manyara National Park, plus a cultural visit to a small village.
