One Voice From Africa has a FREE 9-Day Safari in Kenya, for YOU!

You’ve heard One Voice From Africa – now isn’t it time that Africa hears your voice?

One Voice From Africa (OVFA) is the official talk-radio station of 2AFRIKA (2A), the trendsetting destination specialist to Africa.

Effective Immediately OVFA, 2A and South African Airways in conjunction with our Kenya ground crew, have collaborated to launch a 9-Day 'One Voice From Africa' Safari to Kenya (world renowned for its magnificent national parks, Out Of Africa, and colorful diverse culture), and you’re invited to come along – FREE OF CHARGE!

All you need to do is 'tell everyone' you know, ask them to tell their friends, and to keep the word spreading! Then, select your departure date from New York City’s JFK, invite only eleven (11) friends to join you, and with our compliments, you will travel on safari completely FREE OF CHARGE! Nothing gets better than that!

You did read that right – FREE OF CHARGE!

Travel dates commence on September 01, 2011, and the 'last flight out' is May 31, 2012, so while time is of the essence for planning purposes, you have a wide window of opportunity to visit 'my part of the world'!

On safari, you visit Mt. Kenya Forest where you spend the night in a gorgeous 'Tree House'. Then Shaba National Park up north, Lake Nakuru National Park famed for its pink flamingoes that line the shallow soda lake, and as a befitting finale to an already spectacular safari, the Maasai Mara National Reserve where herds of game roams free and the location of the film we all know –Out of Africa!

Depending on when you travel (seasonal prices apply), you can invite your friends from as little as$2,669 per person + tax, an 'easy' sell’! This includes round trip air from New York City’s John F. Kennedy International. Since this is a global promotion, (meaning that you may not need air services from OVFA / 2A), you can select the 'land arrangements' portion only which best price is only $1,899 per person.

Need to know more? Then listen to One Voice From Africa the moment it is launched (and posted here) and take immediate action. A free 'How To' kit is available from 2AFRIKA on request for you to review and share with your FB friends, and their friends. 2AFRIKA plays a vitally important role in 'Corporate Social Responsibility in Tourism' and for each passenger who signs up, we'll contribute $15 to UTHANDO South Africa, a most worthy cause headed up by my very dear friend James Fernie.

So, travel free on safari in Kenya, assist those in need in Africa, and above all, 'enjoy a safari of a lifetime' FREE OF CHARGE! This is the 'stuff' that others dream of - with OVFA and 2A, "Dreams do come true!'

For more details and your free 'How To' kit, contact 2AFRIKA Toll-Free on 1-866-462-2374 (in the US) or email contact@2afrika.com.

Looking forward to having you and your friends join us and 'especially' to handing you your FREE OF CHARGE 'Safari Package'.
