Got That Friday Africa Feeling?!!!: Here are three ways to Get Back To Africa for Less...



So the Big Freeze is on but there's no need to worry, as this week’s mailer features three ways to get back to Africa for less. Tempted? You will be once you’ve caught up with Cathy May our "Real Wanderer". A career gapper, Cathy gave up the city rat race to travel the globe, her nine month independent travelling stint including our 43-day Kenya To Cape Town overland trip.

NEWS just in: This February, every Friday we’ll also be featuring some of the more “OUT THERE” pursuits on the continent courtesy of the Acacia Wild Bunch. Feel free to pitch in with your votes or even add your own experiences to the mix under our fan album. And as we like to mix it up on the continent here’s a sneak preview of Pepe Haze’s new album – a hugely talented artist from the Crazy about Kenya gang.

So here’s how to get back to Africa for less…

1. Why pay when you can overland for FREE: The competition for the “Acacia Wild Tweep” is hotting up, so if you’re crazy about South Africa and you want to share your love of the Rainbow Nation then mosey on down to our blog and fill in the Q&A. Email your entry to gowildonline@acacia-africa.com

2. Retweet our videos & grab a 25% discount off your next overland tour – it’s a sinch! Simply copy and paste the following onto your Twitter page and it could be you!: RT #GoWildOnline with Acacia Africa http://bit.ly/7BrvvH

3. Why should late bookers get all the best deals? We thought it was time to give back to the early birds – the first adventurers booking on selected overland tours saving up to 50%.

OK discounts aside, if the ”R” word is still cramping your style when it comes to hard cash, check out PlanYourSafaris top ten reasons to safari. In fact, this is one blog that will have you dusting off the backpack in under 30 seconds flat!

Still undecided on where to head next? Grab a copy of our 2010 online brochure.

You can also get all the latest news and views from Travelcomments.com on flights and currency; and thinking of combining your safari with the South Africa World Cup, then look no further than AfricaFreak.
