We apologize profusely for any inconvenience or confusion that has been caused.

With immediate effect, all flights have been suspended until further notice. We have approached the C.A.A. for further details and guidance in respect of any actions they would like us to implement that would enable them to reinstate the AMO’s license at which point normal operations will resume.

Safety is our number one priority and we will not compromise the safety of our customers or crew.

We do not anticipate a prolonged disruption of air service due to the close cooperation that exists between the Civil Aviation Authority and Nationwide Airlines.

Once again we apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. We thank you in advance for your cooperation at this difficult time.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS - KENYA!

I have been meaning to write this note to you since we got back to the United States last Thursday.......but I am finally caught up back at work and now I can direct my attention to you.

To say that this was the most powerful trip of our lives would be an understatement. WOW, what an amazing place. I think the most remarkable impression I have gotten from our trip to Kenya is the very friendly and incredibly upbeat attitude of all the Kenyans we met........oh, and the animals were pretty good too.

Thomas and our guide Dennis were terrific. I can't believe that you have any better guides than Dennis, so we feel very fortunate that he was with us. His knowledge and expertise made for a very interesting and informative experience. It is hard to imagine that Dennis never drove in Manhattan......he would do well there.

We especially thank you for the experience and foresight in arranging our first night at the Sienna Lodge. What a treat to lay on our beds and watch the watering hole, while recouping from 48 hours of travel. The lodges were all fantastic, as was all the food, service, company, etc...I think the rest of the world (and especially the US) could learn a lot from the people of Kenya.

We are very glad to have had the opportunity to experience it and consider ourselves extremely fortunate in having 2AFRIKA handle all of the arrangements.

Thanks for your help, and look forward to going back someday again. In the meantime, we are your biggest ambassadors.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS - BOTSWANA!

I guess this is better late than never.....

In October of 2006 a coworker and I booked our African vacation thru 2AFRIKA and I just wanted to say Thank You for the most amazing safari ever.

We stayed at the Chobe Safari Lodge in Kasane, Botswana. Not once did we ever feel out of place, everyone there made you feel very comfortable and at ease, which is nice when you are visiting a different country for the first time!

We still speak of how much fun we had! I just happened to look at your site for my next trip, for someday in the future, and thought I would finally send you a Thank You note!

ANOTHER GREAT BIG THANKS

Ken…..

I want to thank you for giving such special and personal attention to my long time friend, Debra. She’s so excited about the safari she is planning with you for her husband’s birthday in January. She told me you were even planning something special for her husband’s birthday on the trip. That sounds just like you.

I sent her copies of the two letters of commendation that Joan and I had written you. I think that helped to convince her that 2AFRIKA was the best. I’m so pleased she is taking your tour because I know she and her husband will be not be disappointed.

Debra is a wonderful person and has been a friend of mine for a number of years. I first met her when she was a student of mine at the USC. Since that time she has earned her doctor’s degree and is a professor of English at one of our large colleges here in SC.

Thank you for being the great person you are and living up to the fine reputation you have established. It’s a joy to recommend my friends to you and your company. I know they will be just as pleased with their safari as I was.

Keep up the great work.

Fondly, Fran N

IN THEIR OWN WORDS - TANZANIA!

Kenneth,

We had just the best time imaginable. Everything except the 2 nights in Blue Bay - Zanzibar - that I reserved, was better than expected. It was lovely traveling on Kenya Airways. Blue Bay is over rated and they have the most obnoxious woman in reception. I unfortunately had my suitcase broken in to so I am trying to get refunded from Travelex. The first thing I have to do is document with Virgin Atlantic Airways.

All the best,

Monica
