MAGIC OF AFRICA

Jun 4

Posted by CanTrade Admin in Africa, Holidays of a Lifetime, Packages | No Comments

Goway’s premier 20 day fully escorted tour to Southern Africa is the ‘Magic of Africa’. It is one of only 6 fully escorted tours Goway operates and which have the special designation, ‘Holidays of a Lifetime’”.  It is also one of two escorted tours Goway features for Africa.
The regular departures of the ‘Magic of Africa’ feature air travel with South African Airways who fly directly from  North America to South Africa allowing for less jetlag than flying via Europe.

Visits to three different countries are included in the itinerary with South Africa being naturally the main feature. This destination is covered in depth with visits to Cape Town, the Winelands, the Garden Route, Zululand, Swaziland and a game safari in Kruger National Park.  To enjoy a different perspective while on safari, there is a visit to Chobe National Park in Botswana followed by a grand finale in Zambia to view the spectacular Victoria Falls.

Southern Africa has such a diverse range of attractions that the interest level is continually rewarding.

What makes the ‘Magic of Africa’ a special tour? Not only does Goway really know Africa having been offering travel to this part of the world for a large number of years but included are additional features which are not usually found in other tours. An example is the Fun Themes which vary according to the departure such as Food and Wine, Geography and History, Lifestyles and Native Culture and Animal and Plant Life.

All tour departures include tipping; special dinners and Goway’s twin share guarantee a benefit for single travellers. Goway will match them with someone of the same sex avoiding the single room supplement. If this option is taken up and there is no one else wishing to share, a single room is provided at no additional cost. Additionally a quality Travel Companion booklet with a wealth of destination information and a souvenir group photograph at the end of the tour are provided.

Goway’s professional Tour Directors who accompany the groups from North America know Africa intimately having been there repeatedly.

Goway does not hesitate to call The ‘Magic of Africa’ the best escorted tour from North America to Southern Africa. Prices start from $10,849 per person sharing basis from Toronto. Prices from other Canadian cities available on request.

For more information on Goway’s “Magic of Africa’, request a copy of the Africa travel planner by calling 1-800-387-8850 or by visiting  www.goway.com/brochure.
