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.

Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa in Mombasa undergoes refurbishment




Please note that as of May 01, 2011, the Sarova Group of Hotels will commence phase one of guest bedrooms refurbishment at the Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa in Mombasa. This phase of the program will cover a select number of sea facing guest rooms and will run through to the end of November 2011. Since the rooms are in different wings, the refurbishment will take place wing-by-wing and will focus on the interior of the rooms thus helping reduce potential inconveniences to resident guests. Sufficient and visible signage will be visible throughout the property and all guests will receive a note from the management alerting them of ongoing works. Sarova has also assured us of their continued commitment to provide a safe, comfortable, and positively memorable experience during this period.

WANT TO SAVE ON SAFARI? ACT NOW!


Entrepreneur magazine has reported, "Travel and Tourism are back, and, by the end of 2011, will be better than ever."
 

Indeed it is! 

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimates jet fuel prices are up 39% from a year ago and 'travel analysts' say that independent travelers will likely bear the brunt of the fare hikes unless they act now. 

Committed to Keeping Africa Affordable, 2AFRIKA recommends that its passengers make their safari reservations as far in advance as possible to avoid predicted price increases!

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

KEEP AFRICA AFFORDABLE

MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


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.

Others have tried in vain to clone the 2AFRIKA, INC. business model – it cannot be done. 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. That’s the type of knowledge that you need and its precisely the knowledge that we generously share.

Keeping Africa Affordable

2AFRIKA, INC. is one of the world's premier African destination management companies focusing solely on Africa.

'Roots'

Our earliest roots trace back to December 1977 when our Founder & President Kenneth R. Hieber joined the tourism and hospitality industry. Native to Africa, Hieber ultimately conceived and founded South African based 'The Travel Consultant' in 1984 specializing in retail corporate and leisure travel internationally. That company later became 2AFRIKA, INC. and incorporated in the United States in 1994. Our subsequent acquisitions and positioning in the global marketplace have resulted in an African owned and operated destination management company fully focused on its original founding mission statement – Keep Africa Affordable.

The scope of our skills

Together with our diverse and highly skilled African and United States workforce, our destination management skills include but are not limited to overland safaris, family safaris, culinary safaris, fully escorted safaris, private safaris, African honeymoons, inspirational & healing safaris, city breaks, luxury rail safaris, resort & spa breaks, self-drive safaris, Diaspora cultural journeys and Rainbow safaris.

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!
