NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Hi Ken,

I'm writing to tell you just how much my husband and I enjoyed our safari to Kenya. Everything went so smoothly. It was truly better than I ever anticipated. We saw the "Big 5", never got stuck in the mud (but very close several times!), had a wonderful safari guide and were so pleased with all the accommodations. What an incredibly beautiful and interesting country. I went through my pictures last night...several very good ones. I'm most pleased.

Thanks for all you help in arranging everything. I will certainly recommend 2AFRIKA, INC. to any of our friends planning a trip to Africa.

Happy Holidays!

CL

Hi Kenneth:

We had a wonderful trip to your country! I emailed Adel and thanked her for arranging the Soweto tour and the safari to the Pilanesberg National Park. They were both so good! The tour guides were especially good and informative.

The Kruger National Park was superb. We saw the ‘Big 4’. The leopard was shy! I took about 1000 photos!

The Protea Hotel Rosebank was fantastic with excellent service and delicious food. The Protea Hotel Kruger Gate was equally fantastic in a lovely setting. The S.A. Safari Club was in a nice setting, but the electricity went out and there were no outlets for us to use. It would have been a problem had we stayed the week. Thanks for changing us to the Protea Hotel Rosebank. My husband ventured out to the mall which was right down the block.

It was a trip of a lifetime and we loved it!

Dankie, Kenneth!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


The sales and marketing team of Delta Airlines in Kenya has announced that June 3, 2009 is the commencement date for their ‘four times a week’ flights from Atlanta via Dakar / Senegal to Nairobi. This will be the first direct flight operated by a US carrier to East Africa, since Pan Am World Airways in the ‘old days’ first operated scheduled flights, also via West Africa, before then switching their waypoint to Frankfurt/Germany.

According to a Delta spokesperson, the airline will initially operate a Boeing 767-300 on the route with 36 seats in business class and 181 seats in economy class, plus some significant cargo uplift boosting imports and exports by air.

By mid-2009 Delta said it is planning to connect to some 12 cities in 10 African countries, making it the premier North American airline for flights between the US and Africa.

Delta is a member of SkyTeam, the same alliance Kenya Airways and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines belong to, opening options of code shared flights, before Kenya Airways can upon delivery of some of their newly ordered aircraft commence additional flights from Nairobi to the US.
