WHY IT RATES: Africa is experiencing a surge of interest from intrepid travel, and African Travel, Inc. is meeting demand with new luxury safaris. -Janeen Christoff, TravelPulse Senior Writer
With more online searches for African safaris and African countries slowly opening to guests, we've seen an increase in traveler and advisor bookings for Africa's bucket list experiences in intimate, natural locations.
This month, African Travel, Inc. has launched new 2021 trips that deliver the most unique experiences to be discovered on the continent to meet this rising demand.
These unique experiences include:
Deserts and Dunes of Namibia: A Flying safari to one the most remote parts of Africa to enjoy the new Kwessi Lodge set in one of the least light-light polluted areas in the world, the iconic Shipwreck Lodge on the Skeleton Coast, and meeting the Himba and Herero people. All while tracking white and black rhino and learning about groundbreaking giraffe research.
Platinum Botswana: A safari that is the gold standard of sustainability visiting the new Xigera Safari Lodge with its glass-bottomed mokoros and new treehouse suite and classic Jack's and Zarafa camps.
Majestic South Africa: Making Travel Matter is also in demand. The conservation story in the Eastern Cape is compelling and staying at Shamwari's new Sindile camp and meeting their experts who have revitalized this area is fascinating.
To heighten the safari experience, those that book the above trips by December 31 will also be rewarded with extra priceless experiences to their trip-from epic sundowners in the most unique spots to a priceless photography safari with famed Mike Myers at Xigera.
For African Travel, it's not just about popular destinations-- it's about the experience, the memories and the long-lasting footprints on local communities that travelers should be considering in 2021.
"As an industry leader and the only luxury safari company focused exclusively on Africa, we are Africa-it's in our DNA," said Sherwin Banda, president of African Travel, Inc. "Now more than ever, Africa needs travel to support Africa's wildlife and its local communities, as one in ten Africans are employed through tourism."
"With travel on the mend, travelers need someone like African Travel to share how to experience the best parts of Africa while having a positive impact."
African Travel has a new commitment to their guest's well-being and their 2021 Platinum Collection experiences, designed to meet the demand of clients for more private options including air charters, villas and tented suites and private guides.
