Flying safaris are a great way to see and do as much as possible
on your African holiday - after all, in this day in age it is impossible
for most to take more than 2 weeks from work at any given time.
It is time to think outside of the box and look into how the growing demand for short African holidays can be met. Holiday makers no longer want to travel to just one country - they are looking for new possibilities offering multi-country options. The trick is to find a way to offer new and exciting initiatives that meet this changing trend.
Africa is a big continent with a lot more to offer than just wild animals roaming in Game Parks. There is so much more to explore and see but majority of travel agents still only offer single country options. In the past it was difficult to travel from one country to another unless travelling overland. Times have changed and there are more and more international airlines linking African countries making air travel a real possibility.
So what is a multi-country safari? Let's put it this way... in 2 weeks you can sit in awe of the mighty Victoria Falls, walk with lions, enjoy a sunset cruise on the Zambezi before flying to Kenya and witnessing the Great Wildebeest migration in the World famous Masai Mara Game Reserve before exploring the romantic spice island of Zanzibar in Tanzania.
In a couple of weeks you can tick off a number of items from your Africa holiday bucket list! Most people will only visit a continent once, so it makes sense to see and do as much as possible on this once in a lifetime holiday.
So if you have ever dreamed of visiting highlights like the incredible Lalibella churches carved out of rock in Ethiopia, a short safari to see african animals in Kenya and trekking the mountains in Rwanda then this is all possible and with a price tag that will not break the bank.
Dreams can come true and with a little know-how anything is possible. There are a number of combinations to choose from, so if it is on your wish list we want to know.
Flying safaris are the way forward to meet the changing needs of the savvy traveler who wants more than the average holiday currently being sold through mainstream travel agents. As an industry we have a responsibility to meet this need.
