Just back from Tanzania

Mike and Susan Jaynes just returned from a fantastic adventure in Tanzania and shared some of their wonderful photos with us. You can visit some of the same areas or lodges that they did on our Romantic Tanzania Safari or our Tanzania Deluxe Tented Safari. Here are just a few of our favorite shots from their trip. Thanks for sharing, Mike & Susan!

Keep an eye out for more of their photos in an upcoming newsletter!

Are you thinking of visting Africa for your honeymoon or with your family this summer? Now is the time to start planning! We are seeing a major increase in bookings during the summer months, especially in Kenya and Tanzania. Availability is going quickly! For the widest array of lodging choices, contact us now to help plan your safari.

A few specials on offer include a free flight from Wilson Airport when you stay four nights at Kichwa Tembo or three nights at Bateleur Camp. Both are located in the Masai Mara. These camps are typically at their finest in the late summer and early fall, when the Great Migration is typically expected to cross into Kenya.

We also have a special offer of 10% off senior and disabled travel on a set departure trip in August that visits the gorgeous Okavango Delta in Botswana, or a September departure to the remote dunes and parks of mysterious Namibia.

Lance Armstrong in South Africa

Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong is in South Africa preparing for his next race. The Cape Argus is the world's largest individually timed race and features a one-day, 65 mile course around South Africa's Cape Peninsula, finishing in Cape Town at the World Cup soccer stadium.

Armstrong has already done several practice rides, and has raved about the stunning scenery. Famous for its harbor, Table Mountain, and nearby Cape Point, Cape Town is rightly known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Fortunately Cape Town is easy to add to any of our South Africa itineraries, and is featured in our Cape Town Highlights Tour, as well as in our Sabi Sand and Cape Town luxury safari.

For the golfer, check out our South Africa Golf and Game which combines an Eastern Cape wildlife safari with tours of Cape Town, the winelands, and golf at several fantastic courses including the Jack Nicklaus designed course at Pearl Valley.
