Join Us and Discover the Sounds Of The South

New-Orleans (1)

The last century has seen a plethora of music styles emerge, from Pop and Disco, to Rock and Grunge, and beyond. Many of these music phenomena have “heartlands”in the states, and that is what this tour is all about. We begin our journey in Atlanta moving onto Tennessee, the heart of Country Music in the USA, then we journey to the home of the King of Rock and Roll in Memphis from which we journey down the Mississippi to New Orleans – a voyage through the homeland of Dixie, Jazz, Blues and Soul!

We don’t just bus you to all these places though – we are going to take you down the Mississippi in Style aboard a traditional old style paddlesteamer, with onboard entertainment, daily tours and more – a truly authentic taste of the South.

So if this sounds like a fantastic trip, why not join us at our Travel Expose – A Film Night, on the 22nd April where we will be talking about this trip and more with our industry partners!

Travel to the Dark Continent!

African_Elephants_Amboseli_National_Park_Kenya

Few places capture the imagination as much as Africa, perhaps its the old tales of the Dark Continent, with dangerous wildlife and primitive tribes,  or maybe its the growing appeal of wildlife sightseeing or cultures so different to what we know and see regularly. Either way, many people have a desire to visit Africa.

Which is why we are going there! Setting out in mid 2016 we will encounter the highlights of Kenya and Tanzania, staying in a variety of accommodation from Hotels to Lodges, from Permanent Tented Camps to Seasonal Camps.

Travelling from Amboseli to Serengeti, from the Masai Mara to Ngorongoro and more you will have the opportunity to discover the Big 5 and more!

If this all sounds appealing, why not join us at our Travel Expose on the 22nd April 2015 and listen to the experts from the Africa Safari Co talk, not only about our great departure but what else they do in the Dark Continent!

When: Wednesday 22nd April 2015, from 5:30pm for a 6:00pm Start
Where:  Shoalhaven Ex Servicemans Club, 157 Junction Street Nowra

Still Available In 2015

AyutthayaSometimes, and I am sure you agree, it seems like we are always talking about whats next, and that the dates are getting further and further out. While this is great for those of you who would like to pre-plan your trip to Egypt, or Africa, we would like to point out that we do still have a number of departures for 2015 that can take more travellers or have some availability left.

September 2015: European River Cruise – while the earlybird and fly free deals have ended the cruise-tour from Prague to Paris still has a few cabins available for allocation, so if you ever wanted to journey the scenic Danube in great company this may be your chance. I suggest that you get in touch as soon as possible if you wish to go!

October 2015: We have finalised dates for our Kangaroo Island Escape, a fantastic trip from Sydney to South Australia taking in Kangaroo Island Adelaide and the Barossa .. you can read about it in full here!

November 2015: In November we have another one of our introductory tours available – a perfect mix of free time combined with touring in an often neglected destination, join us as we explore Bangkok and Chiang Mai! More details can be found here on our website!

December 2015: We are also still looking for starters for our Christmas Markets tour, this is a uniquely charming and special time to visit Germany and would love to hear from more of you about going!

So as you can see there is plenty to still attend or travel on in 2015 – if any are of interest please let us know!

My African Experience

The-Great-Migration-at-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania

It’s here! Our latest upcoming group departure! And this time its something really special! Africa

We are doing an amazing trip in June 2016 to Kenya and Tanzania, taking in the best of the national parks including Amboseli, Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro to name just a few. There will be the possibility of viewing the “Big 5” (those being Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo) as well as other varied wildlife, and we will be using a mix of hotels, farmstays, permanant tented camps and seasonal tented camps. This trip is a fantastic way to get a taste of Africa and the wildlife that the region is so well known for!

For the current Itinerary and pricing please look at the full itinerary here!

Accessibility: It should be noted that this trip is fairly easy going, so if you were hesitating to think of Africa due to mobility issues, then think again, unless you are wheelchair bound there won’t be many problems – and even for the wheelchair bound traveller there are options available.

Accommodation: For the accommodation the properties being used are all very reasonable and have been chosen for comfort as much as location, and from what you can see in the below images the permanent tented camps are equal to many four and five star hotels and the seasonal camps are still amazingly well equipped – even coming with their own toilets.

So if you think you hear Africa calling, why not give us a call to register your name for this incredible journey!
