IN THEIR OWN WORDS - Back from South Africa and Zambia

As I was sitting on the plane enroute to Johannesburg, I was thinking “I must be crazy traveling to Africa alone. Who does this sort of thing? And I know I will be disappointed because it will be impossible to meet these high expectations made by years of dreaming of this trip.” (And at the age of 58, that’s a lot of years of fantasizing.) Wow! Was I wrong…!!!

The safari in Kruger National Park was nothing short of spectacular. The only animal in the Big 5 that I did not see was the leopard. However, seeing a cheetah within 4 feet of the truck, and seeing a pair of mating lions, more than made up for the lack. While watching the incredible wildlife, I had to constantly remind myself that this was NOT Animal Kingdom in Disney World. This was the real deal. These wild animals are in their own habitat. There were more elephants and giraffes than I could count. Hippos, impala, kudu, wart hogs, cape buffalo, rhino, water bucks, monkeys, crocodiles, myriads of birds of prey and waterfowl….the list is endless. This part of the trip DEFINITELY exceeded my expectations!

I thought the rest of the trip would be dull in comparison. I was wrong. I learned the history of Capetown. I saw the beach ostriches at the Cape of Good Hope. I laughed to see the penguins who had won out over the affluent for their rights to Boulder Beach. I saw the multitudes of seals at Seal Island and I tasted some of the best wine in the world.

Several more surprises awaited me as I sadly departed Capetown for the flight to Zambia. One was the utter magnificence of the “Smoke that Thunders” – Victoria Falls. To not only see these amazing falls, but to feel the spray on your face and to feel the earth shake as the water cascaded so violently into the gorge, made it a true sensory experience. And the trip on the Zambezi river to view a truly beautiful sunset while the hippos lounged around close by was another of those “pinch me I must be dreaming” sequences of which there were so many on this vacation.

I have so many other great memories. The marimba bands playing on their handmade instruments of wood, and in one case, PVC pipes with duct tape, were happy to oblige my video-taking and numerous questions. The beautiful harmony of the mambazo singers entranced me despite being unable to understand the lyrics. Music is an international language!

Even the extraordinary circumstances on the plane as we TRIED to leave Johannesburg, left me with many stories to tell.

I could not have possibly fit one more activity into this trip. The only negative thing I have to say is that it was too short. I wish I had the means to spend at least a month in the beautiful country of South Africa. And now that my appetite has been whetted, I am once again dreaming of a return to the mysterious and wonderful continent of Africa. Next stop - Kenya. And to be sure, I would not even consider arranging my trip without the fantastic services of 2AFRIKA.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS - Back from Kenya and Tanzania

“My dream was to go to Africa and experience all it had to offer, its people, the animals and the scenery. I spent over a year researching how to travel and who should handle my dream trip.

2AFRIKA came to my rescue. I booked my trip to Kenya and Tanzania. As the departure date arrived, I was the only person who had booked that particular date. As a single lady of years, I was wondered what this solo traveler would find. The night before departure, I received a telephone call from Kenneth saying a fellow traveler would join me for part of my adventure. I arrived in Nairobi shortly after noon. There would be three of us on this adventure -- Charles, the driver, Charles, my fellow traveler and I. We called ourselves The Three Charles.

At Serena Mountain Lodge, I wandered to the viewing deck to check out the animals at the watering hole. A little monkey sat quietly on the deck drinking from a cup left behind. The air smelled sweat and I envisioned my trekking along an old animal trail. As I gazed at the flamingos around Lake Nakuru, I was laying on the ground clicking away with my camera, when Charles the driver asked me to return to the van. Little did I know, but behind me was a male lion strolling along the shore oblivious to my presence. He was magnificent and one of many close and up front animal encounters – mother lioness and cubs, a tree leopard, a howling Hyrax, baboons outside my tented accommodations, cheetah cubs and mom resting in the shade. Oh, I can’t forget the elephants in Amboseli walking past our lodge each night toward their watering hole, giraffes, hippos, zebras and wildebeest and the ugliest stork I have ever seen. Monkeys watching me sort through my digital camera disks – only to lose one disk to a dare devil that that took it to the closest tree top. A highlight was feeding giraffes and petting warthogs at the Giraffe Center in Nairobi .

Visiting a Maasai village and talking with the people and children with their Queen’s English and magnificent vocabularies, simply wonderful. A hot air balloon ride in the early dawn— my flight Above Africa. This trip exceeded my greatest expectations. Thanks to everyone at 2AFRIKA.”

EAST AFRICAN SAFARI PRICES DROP BY ALMOST 30% - 2AFRIKA, INC. announces unique travel savings with its Fall East African Safari promotion

NEW YORK, October 05, 20092AFRIKA, INC. (http://www.2afrika.com) and its preferred airline partners Virgin Atlantic Airways, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, Kenya Airways, South African Airways and Turkish Airlines have combined forces and launched a unique Fall East African Safari promotion.

African safaris have a reputation for delivering exotic, exclusive experiences. Yet these spectacular adventures often come with high price tags, and travelers typically don’t 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 15-year-old African Safari Tour Operator based in New York City that specializes in “Keeping Africa Affordable” and its preferred airline partners. 2AFRIKA has just announced its Fall East African Safari promotion, offering 21 safaris to Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda with discounts up to 30% (during some seasons). With these special Fall prices, it’s now possible to Safari within this giant Continent and experience firsthand its wild, rugged untamed beauty at a budget price.

“I’m thrilled about this Fall East African Safari promotion, which will motivate travelers to follow their dreams and make the commitment to visit my magnificent Continent,” says Kenneth R. Hieber, Founder & President of 2AFRIKA, INC. “I have spent a lot of time negotiating the 2010 Safari prices to Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, and this is one travel deal travelers cannot afford to miss, particularly when you consider that African Safari prices increase by at least 7.5 - 10 percent every year. Analysts are already predicting increases in travel and we’re seeing that starting to come into effect. Yet 2AFRIKA, INC. has worked hard to create this Fall East African Safari promotion and keep 2010 safari lower for a limited time only.”

2AFRIKA’s Fall East African Safari promotion prices run October 8 through November 6, 2009, and are available for any of the 2010 Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda Safaris showcased exclusively through 2AFRIKA’s website: http://www.2afrika.com. These package deals are for travel during anytime in 2010, and must be reserved, 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.

“We all like to save money and I expect this promotion to be as big as those that we have previously launched,” 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.”
