2AFRIKA, INC. announces unique travel savings with Labor Day promotion

NEW YORK, August 15, 2009 — African safaris have a reputation for delivering exotic, exclusive experiences. Yet these spectacular adventures often come with high price tags, and travelers typically do not know how to save money when venturing into the unknown territory of Safari planning for Africa.

That has changed, thanks to 2AFRIKA, INC. (http://www.2afrika.com/), an established African Safari Tour Operator that specializes in “Keeping Africa Affordable.” In fact, 2AFRIKA has just announced an early Labor Day Safari promotion, offering its 2010 Kenya and Tanzania Safaris at prices (during some seasons) lower than 2009 prices. With these special prices, it is now possible to Safari within this giant Continent and experience firsthand its wild beauty at a budget price.

“I am delighted about the ‘freezing of prices’ in Africa, which will enable people to follow their dreams and make the commitment to visit my amazing Continent,” says Kenneth R. Hieber, Founder & President of 2AFRIKA, INC. “I have personally spent a lot of time negotiating the 2010 Safari prices to both Kenya and Tanzania, and this Labor Day promotion is one travel deal savvy travelers won’t want to miss, especially when you consider that African Safari prices increase by at least 7.5 - 10 percent every year. In general, travel prices just keep going up, yet 2AFRIKA, INC. has worked hard to create this promotion and keep costs lower for a limited time only.”

2AFRIKA’s special Safari prices run August 15 through September 15, 2009, and are available for any of the 2010 Kenya and Tanzania Safaris showcased exclusively through 2AFRIKA’s website: http://www.2afrika.com/. These package deals are for travel during anytime in 2010, and must be booked, confirmed and paid for within these select dates. Ideal for anyone looking to cash in on a unique, yet affordable adventure to Africa — these Safaris provide the ultimate chance for great savings.

“Everyone likes to save money, so we expect this promotion to be a big hit,” Hieber says.

“Considering what you’re getting for the price, this is a very valuable opportunity in terms of just how affordable these priceless experiences actually are. As an example, 2AFRIKA offers a scheduled 6 day Safari in Tanzania starting at only $1,399 per person, and in some instances, no single supplement applies”

JUST WHEN WE HAD THOUGHT WE HAD HEARD IT ALL IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY . . .

THURSDAY, JULY 09, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


2AFRIKA's Founder & President, Kenneth R. Hieber admits to having heard his fair share of 'odd tales' from travelers but nothing beats this in his 31+ tenture in the Travel Industry!

As reported in The Sun - MOM CLAIMS DAUGHTER GOT PREGNANT FROM SPERM FLOATING IN POOL

A Polish woman has filed a lawsuit against an Egyptian hotel after claiming her teenage daughter got pregnant from using the pool.

Magdalena Kwiatkowska claims her 13-year-old daughter conceived from a stray sperm floating in the hotel’s mixed-sex pool after she took a dip, The Sun reports. The hotel was not named.

The teen returned to Poland from holiday expecting a baby. Kwiatkowska said her daughter did not meet any boys while she was in Egypt.

Tourist authorities in Warsaw confirmed the complaint. The mother is seeking compensation from the hotel.

"In Africa, expect the unexpected," said Hieber, "but this is perhaps a little too unexpected" he concluded.
