Passengers visit some of Africa's biggest highlights including the Masai Mara, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar Island. On these tours many meals and excursions are included and the semi-participatory atmosphere all contributes towards a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Africa Destination Manager Emma Campbell is quoted, "We have had a lot of interest in our new Africa tours since their launch and there has been an increasing demand from passengers wanting to see the highlights of East Africa in an affordable yet comfortable way. We hope these extra departure dates will give clients more choice and flexibility when booking their holiday."
