Zambia – Luxury in the Bush


“Wilderness luxury” is no contradiction in Zambia. AFRICAExperts, one of North America’s leading wholesalers, offers international visitors the opportunity to enjoy Zambia’s great outdoors in complete comfort. From the remote, beautiful South Luangwa National Park, to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Victoria Falls, each of these areas offer something special for visitors. The luxury tented camps and upmarket Bushcamps in South Luangwa all provide a very comfortable, yet genuine bush experience. In the Victoria Falls area, luxurious up-market hotels and lodges, built along the banks of the Zambezi River provide everything from private valet to spa treatments.

Walking safaris ensure a thrilling up close and personal experience of the bush, and are ideal for evening game viewing. South Luangwa National Park is one of Africa’s first-class wildlife sanctuaries, and is home to one of Africa’s largest concentrations of wildlife and provides refuge to no less than 50 mammals and over 400 bird species. Seeing the animals from ground-level is a very different experience from viewing from a safari vehicle.

AFRICAExperts‘ 8-day South Luangwa Encounter Walking Safari starts from $4659 and offers a remote wildlife experience like no other. Some of the finest accommodations are featured, including a camp with en-suite bathrooms with double-sized sunken stone baths so you can unwind in the tub while watching the hippos in the river below!

The thunderous roar and rising mist that looks like smoke, is the likely reason locals gave Victoria Falls the apt name of “Mosi-oa-Tunya” – The Smoke that Thunders. The Falls are a definite highlight, but not the only attraction in the area. Numerous activities ranging from elephant-back safaris, bungee jumping, to microlight flights over the Falls can be arranged.

The 3-day Livingstone package featured in the AFRICAExperts brochure offers a variety of accommodation ranging from moderate to deluxe class and includes roundtrip airfare from Johannesburg. Many different touring and meal options are available depending on the chosen property. Prices for this program start at $886 per person twin share. As this package is offered on a daily basis, it’s the perfect fit to a tour in South Africa, Botswana or even Namibia.

Agent Cash Incentive for selling Downunder


There are tours, fully escorted tours and then there are HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME®. Goway Travel, North America’s largest and most experienced tour operator to the South Pacific, is the only company to offer the “Waltzing Matilda”, a 22 day guided exploration of the best of Australia and New Zealand.

And Goway is offering agents the opportunity to earn cash for their sales. For all new bookings from 1 December 2007 until 31 January 2008, agents can earn up to $100 per booking ($50 per person) on any guaranteed departure of the Waltzing Matilda. For any subsequent bookings on the guaranteed departures, Goway will double the cash to up to $200 ($100 per person).

Virtually everything is included on Goway’s HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME® international and domestic airfare (excluding taxes), specially designed fun themes, unique dining experiences, a twin share guarantee, sightseeing and first class hotels. Goway’s professional tour guide meets the group in Los Angeles and escorts the tour throughout.

The Waltzing Matilda starts from $9599.00 per person and includes 19 nights, most meals, all touring and airfare.

Australia and New Zealand are generally considered two of the safest travel destinations in the world, and the people of both countries also are considered to be among the most hospitable and friendly. Commenting on the Waltzing Matilda tour that he travelled on, Fred J. Eckert, in an article published in the Washington Times said “Every hotel, meal and tour was top of the line; the guides also were excellent.” “The reason we now book all our tours through them,” a couple told Fred, “is that so many others suck you in with a seemingly low price, then sock you with tons of extra charges for things Goway includes as part of the package.”

“Our extremely high passenger satisfaction virtually guarantees future repeat business” stated Emma Cottis, Product and Marketing Manager of the 37 year old company. “It is not unusual to see past travellers booking on three or all four itineraries. They are even requesting we create more HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME itineraries” she continued, “and they are very easy for agents to sell in the first place, offering very lucrative commissions”.

Full details of Goway’s “Waltzing Matilda” and additional HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME® tours can be found in their up-side-down DOWNUNDER catalogue and on their extensive website Goway.com. For more information call 1-800-387-8850 or email info@goway.com.
