The operator has added two new safari tours to its Premier Collection as trade bookings for South Africa safaris have grown by 66% year-on-year
The new tours will introduce the new villa concept, while adding extra capacity that is needed to quell the appetites of holidaymakers looking for their dream Africa getaways.
‘On Safari in South Africa – Babanango & Zululand – Premier Collection’ is a 10-day option with villa-style accommodation for a maximum of 18 guests. Excursions include 11 game drives in the ‘Big Five’ Babanango reserve, a bushwalk, a full day at the Anglo-Zulu battlefields, and an authentic Boma dinner experience.
‘On Safari in South Africa – Kingfisher Villa Suites – Premier Collection’ offers a 10-day trip in a smaller villa, featuring 11 game drives in the Mabula Game Reserve, plus a bushwalk. Guests will also be treated to two wildlife specialist talks, a stargazing experience and a bush breakfast.
Hayley Morris, head of trade sales and partnerships, said, “Demand for South Africa has grown fast, with trade bookings up 66% year on year, and these two tours show exactly why. Kingfisher and Babanango give travel agents a choice, from a classic 'Big Five' safari to one that pairs wildlife with Zulu history, both in an intimate, villa-style setting. It means our On Safari range now has a genuine fit for whatever kind of safari a customer's after, and raises the bar for what an On Safari holiday with us looks like."
