1. Get Up Close and Personal with Great White Sharks. Think of Africa and lions and elephants instantly leap to mind. But South Africa is also undoubtedly one of the top shark dive regions in the world! Great white shark diving at Gansbaai and Cape Town is possibly the greatest thrill you will ever experience. From both the boat deck and submerged in the safety of the specially designed cage, you will certainly get the view you are looking for of these magnificent and feared creatures. A full day tour can easily be added to any of our Popular Journeys that include a stop in Cape Town.

2. Explore the Terrain on Elephant Back.Share in the ultimate African experience. View tree tops, birds’ nests, and giraffes almost face to face. Sail high above the bushveld and feel part of the environment, instead of being just a passive observer. On elephant back, you are truly an integral part of the experience. Half day elephant safaris are easily added to any stay in the Victoria Falls area and are an included highlight to our Wild Kingdoms of Southern Africa Popular Journey safari. For the ultimate elephant experience, consider another Popular Journey, South Africa’s Finest, which includes a two-night stay at Camp Jabulani. This property takes luxury to its highest level while also devoting attention to the care and well-being of orphaned elephants. Imagine an evening elephant-back safari followed by a romantic setting of a lantern lit bush dinner -a white linen table adorned with a selection of beverages, crystal glasses, fresh flowers and delectable canapés specially prepared by the chef. It is not hard to feel that “Life is good” as you unwind at the end of another day at Camp Jabulani.

3. Ride the Dunes on a Quad Bike. Namibia is bordered on two sides by deserts, the Kalahari and Namib, which have the largest sand dunes anywhere. By far the most exciting thing on four wheels, Quad Biking on the sand dunes is a rush like no other. Whether you’re speeding through the fast stretches or navigating the technical sections, Quadding will knock your socks off! All bikes are fully automatic. Quad Biking on the sand dunes is truly an amazing and unique experience. Quad Biking is offered as a safari activity on the Roaring Dunes and Soaring Skies of Namibia and the Footprints of the Bushmen in Botswana, to name just a few.

About African Travel, Inc.

African Travel crafts personalized African safaris and adventures for today’s travelers who crave an experience of a lifetime. With over 35 years providing authentic African experiences, African Travel knows all the options to ensure a wonderful custom wildlife adventure to South Africa , Botswana, Namibia, Zambia including Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Kenya , Tanzania including Zanzibar, Rwanda and Uganda including gorilla trekking, Mozambique, Seychelles, Mauritius, Egypt and Dubai .

African Travel, Inc. was nominated by Travel Weekly in their 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards as a Top Tour Operator and Safari Outfitter in Travel +Leisure’s World’s Best Awards.

African Travel, Inc. is part of The Travel Corporation, which also includes Trafalgar, Contiki, Brendan Vacations, Insight Vacations, Red Carnation Hotel Collection, and Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection.

Among predictions this year of what to expect from travel and tourism, JWT envision this trend: The seemingly unlikely notion of homeowners and others renting their back yards to travelers could catch on.

“The London Olympics will heighten awareness, providing a hotel alternative for those willing to pitch a tent,” the site says. The concept is called “garden camping.” A UK-based company has started the trend, with plans to expand worldwide.

Another trend involves “Staycations,” which have been popular since the 2008 recession, but many of today’s consumers—even more budget-conscious and overworked—will be even more inclined to opt for shorter breaks.

“People looking to inject fun into their lives will seek the type of unusual one-off experiences and mini-vacations they’ve been finding on some deal sites, the more novel and adventurous the better,” the site says.

Some other perhaps surprising trends:

—A group of startups offering unique and often personalized activities and tours are aiming to change the way travelers plan trips, the site says. The new offerings enable experts to offer an eclectic mix of opportunities, from introducing travelers to Berlin’s famed currywurst sausage to walking them through New York’s Central Park with a wilderness instructor.

—Technology-attuned hotels and airlines are using RFID and NFC, combined with customer phones, to smooth and speed up the experience. Qantas’ frequent flyers now get a RFID-enabled card that functions as a boarding pass; they use it to check in at a kiosk upon arrival, then flight details are sent to their phones. Similarly, hotels including Starwood’s Aloft and Aria in Las —-Vegas issue RFID loyalty cards that double as room keys.

—As the middle market shrinks in the developed world, more brands will find ways to provide special service to customers with the means or the motivation to spend. “VIP treatment is becoming common at amusement parks, for example, with special access passes allowing purchasers to skip long lines.”

In another example: independent airport lounges provide a little extra comfort to travelers with an extra $15 to $50 to spend.

—With more women traveling solo, many for business, hotels everywhere are reviving women-only floors. These offer more security—some hotels even require a key card to access the floor—and add room amenities like fashion magazines and hair tools.

“Hot” tourist areas will include:

—Myanmar. With diplomatic relations with the rest of the world thawing, this lightly visited realm of Buddhist temples and pagodas will become more attractive to Western travelers. Several new hotels offer luxury accommodation, and Abercrombie & Kent has created three high-end programs for 2012.

—Many eyes will also be increasingly focused on Ireland. A high point is the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking on April 15. The date will be marked with what JWT calls “titanic goings-on.” Titanic Belfast will open in Ireland as the “world’s largest Titanic visitor experience” and a cruise ship operated by Fred Olsen Cruises will be circling the spot where the ship went down.

There will also be a host of centennial memorabilia vying for aficionados’ attention. The eponymous James Cameron film will be released in 3D, and the director will host a National Geographic TV special on the topic

—An increasingly hot tourist spot will be Zimbabwe—home to one of the seven wonders of the world, Victoria Falls.

The country also has some of Africa’s best game parks. Zimbabwe went out of favor as a tourist spot as it descended into political and economic chaos over the last decade.

JWT says: “The economy is stabilizing, and as more tour operators resume Zimbabwe tours, travelers are on the uptick.” Euromonitor says: “The country has the potential to once again be among the top tourist destinations in Africa.”

With lions, tigers, and other big cats diminishing in population, African Travel reports more travelers than ever calling to find out about how to see the big cats while they can. According to a report in USA Today, “The populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs and especially tigers have been decimated in the past half-century.” The safari consultants at African Travel will suggest the top areas for clients to go in Africa to see the lions, leopards and cheetahs.

“Big cat sightings are a sure bet in Zambia,” said Jim Holden, president of African Travel. “The interior parks in Zambia such as Kafue are often referred to as the ‘gems of Africa’ and are teeming with wildlife, especially big cats.” Other recommended places for big cat seekers are Cape Town’s Cheetah Outreach (cheetahs); Kafue National Park in the Busanga Plains, Zambia (lions); Londolozi, South Africa (leopards); Linyanti, Botswana (lions); Luangwa, Zambia (leopards); Manyara, Tanzania (tree-climbing lions); Manyara, Tanzania (leopards); Masai Mara, Kenya (cheetahs); Masai Mara, Kenya (lions); and Namibia (cheetahs).

Also recommended are Southern Explorer, including 10 days in South Africa and Zimbabwe, priced from $4,895 per person double occupancy land only; the eight-day Kenyan Horizons, priced from $4,295 per person land only, based on double occupancy; and The Last Refuge, with nine days in Botswana and Zambia, priced from $6,795 per person land only, based on double occupancy.

Tweet: Adventure Center’s 22-day Southern Africa

“Deserts Rivers & Wildlife” Tour incl. UNICEF donation @AdventureCenter http://tinyurl.com/3rjeqc8

 Adventure Center travelers navigate the diverse landscape of Southern Africa, from South Africa to Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe on its 22-Day “Deserts, Rivers & Wildlife” small-group tour – and give back to the African community while they do it. For each booking made before Oct. 31 on any of Adventure Center’s diverse array of Africa tours, including those in Egypt and Morocco, the company will donate $10 to UNICEF’s “Horn of Africa” program. As the tour makes its way from Cape Town to Livingstone, to its final stop at the renowned Victoria Falls, it takes in the semi-arid Kalahari Desert, the impressive Okavango River, and Augrabies Falls National Park, home to the mighty Orange River and a remarkable gorge.

Other highlights are the Namib Desert, which forms part of Africa’s largest game reserve, Naukluft National Park; Etosha National Park, a reserve and game sanctuary that houses blue wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, elephant and kubu; and a visit with the semi-nomadic Himba tribesmen. Pricing for the seven 2011 departures range from $4,889 to $5,039 per person; dates and pricing for 2012 departures will be available this fall.

After a drive along the Atlantic seaboard and a cable car ride up the flat-topped Table Mountain, the group visits the historic town of Calvinia, nestled at the foot of the Hantam Mountains, and then travels through vibrant wine farms on the way to Augrabies Falls National Park.

After admiring the “place of big noises,” as the falls were named by the Trek Boers, the trip spends two days each in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, where game drives allow for glimpses of the black mane lion, and the world’s second largest canyon, Fish River Canyon.

Other stops include seeing the changing colors of the world’s highest sand dunes in Sesriem; spending time in Swakopmund, a seaside resort in northwestern Namibia; enjoying the spectacular mountaintop views in Damaraland; visiting the Himba tribe; and taking a game drive through Etosha National Park, home to thousands of African animals. Travelers can swim in the famous “river pool” of the Okavango River before crossing into Botswana for a game-viewing cruise on the Chobe River.

The tour ends in Livingtstone with a visit to the dramatic Victoria Falls.

An array of optional tours and activities allow guests to customize their South African adventure. In Swakopmund, there is the aerial view of the German colonial town from a hot air balloon or activities such as sandboarding, quad biking, skydiving and kayaking. Bird walks, game drives and mokoro (canoe) excursions are all available during the two-day stay near the Okavango River.

Adrenaline-infused options in Livingstone include white water rafting, bungee jumping, rhino walks, elephant back safaris, visits to Victoria Falls and airplane or helicopter flights.

The tour package includes 20 nights’ lodge, chalet and small hotel/guest house accommodation; 21 breakfasts; professional tour guide; game drives, activities and park fees as specified in the itinerary; airport transfers: pick-up at Cape Town Airport, drop-off at Livingstone Airport; and transport throughout.

International air, optional activities, drinks, meals not indicated within the itinerary, gratuities and visas are extra.
