Scheduled Safaris

1
We are delighted to introduce our new brochure. The past two years, since the release of our last brochure, has seen a number of challenges for the
African travel industry. At the ARP Travel Group, we looked at these challenges as opportunities.
We have used this time to expand our fleet, including value additions in the vehicles. In Kenya, we have added a number of new four-wheel drive
vehicles. This is reflected in the number of scheduled safaris that now operate in four-wheel drive. We have initiated training programmes across the
group including, most importantly, our driver-guides.
We have made substantial investment in our Serengeti Explorer Camp, purchasing custom designed tents with all new furnishing, installing solar
energy, and sourcing all new linen and amenities.
In recognition of the growing importance of family travel, we have developed our Rafiki Explorer Club. The Club provides a variety of amenities
that involve our young explorers in their African adventure including a unique, custom designed 24 page, age specific activity books and dedicated
website.
Rafiki even has his own Twitter feed @rafikiexplorer, Facebook page, newsletter and dedicated website to allow children to share their safari stories
and photos and continue their adventure long after returning home from their safari. The details are on page 14 of this brochure.
We have launched a social media campaign with new Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, Pinterest photos, and a YouTube channel. We continue to offer
our partners information through our partners’ website and offer a photo gallery for our partners’ marketing purposes with more than 5,000 high
resolution photographs. We will continue to provide more training and educational tools to our partners ensuring you are kept up to date with the
products and able to prepare travellers for a great safari experience.
There have been a lot of developments in East Africa since the last brochure and we have introduced a number of new programmes to reflect these
changes. We have also negotiated a number of added values with our accommodation partners and reflected these within the new and existing
adventures.
We hope that you will enjoy this brochure and find it helpful in selling Africa. We thank you for entrusting us with your clients and will ensure we
provide a memorable journey through the wilds of Africa
Africa is our passion, Africa is our home.

Remember, any scheduled departure can be booked as a private safari and/or combined with other services.

Discover Tanzania with Ranger Safaris
Tanzania offers a unique wildlife experience across famous game
parks with a stunning backdrop of one of Africa’s most magnificent
sights, Mount Kilimanjaro. To the north lies the breathtaking
Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO Conservation Area and site of
the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Teeming with wildlife,
clients have the opportunity to get incredibly close to the natural
eco-system. Tanzania’s biggest annual event begins in Serengeti
National Park where the annual migration of more than a million
wildebeest surging across the plains is one of the most dramatic
displays of nature one can witness today. The territorial conquest
in search of sustenance drives the animals to migrate across the
plains of Serengeti, braving crocodile infested waters and Africa’s
ferocious predators in a bid for survival.
The Southern circuit in Tanzania consists of the Selous Game
Reserve and Ruaha National park. The lifeline of Selous is Rufuji
River supporting a population of bird life and wildlife including
elephant, buffalo, hippo, crocodiles as well as magnificent
scenery. Ruaha is a true wildlife haven, sustained by the Great
Ruaha River and central for the resident crocodile, hippo, turtle
and fish there as well as a huge array of over 400 bird species.
Ranger Safaris is one of the most established and experienced
operators in Tanzania. Our driver-guides are among the most
dedicated and knowledgeable in terms of wildlife, fauna and flora
and continue to entice guests with their keen ability to locate wildlife and provide indepth knowledge. Our fleet of four-wheel-drive
vehicles is one of the newest and largest in Tanzania and are
perfect for traversing Tanzania’s rugged terrain.

Discover Kenya with Pollman’s Tours & Safaris
Enriched with some of the world’s most beautiful wilderness
areas, Kenya is regarded as the foundation of any safari
experience and the first choice for many looking to explore Africa.
From the grand parks of Tsavo East and Tsavo West to the
more intimate Samburu Game Reserve and dozens in between,
Kenya’s parks and reserves are home to hundreds of mammal
and bird species. Be it the thrill of the migration as it crosses into
Masai Mara or the breathtaking views of Mt. Kilimanjaro’s snowy
peak, no day on safari is the same and the panorama of wildlife
that unfolds provides a unique adventure. Then, to complete the
perfect holiday, the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean welcome
you to Kenya’s coast.
About Pollman's Tours & Safaris

Pollman’s Tours and Safaris – Over 55 years in Kenya
Fifty years ago, Karl Pollman left Hamburg, Germany to seek
his own adventure in Kenya. Having arranged a vehicle he set
out across the vast country, exhilarated to witness a majestic
lion stride across the savannah in search of its prey. He was
entranced by large herds of elephants that lumbered past him
and endeared by the warm greeting he received from the Kenyan
people. Pollman had found his calling along with a desire to show
this wonderful land to others, thus bringing to life Pollman’s Tours
& Safaris. The fifty five years since have seen steady growth for
Pollman’s Tours & Safaris. Today, we have an impressive fleet
of 4x4s and safari vehicles as well as luxury coaches catering
to a variety of needs. We have remained true to our core values
of trust and integrity enabling Pollman’s Tours and Safaris to
establish itself as the industry leader in Kenya.
Pollman’s Tours and Safaris lead the way in terms of innovation
and product variety in Kenya. Our staff have grown up in Kenya
and are proud to call it their home. The Pollman’s fleet is one of
the largest and most modern in East Africa. Our driver-guides
are known for their knowledge and enthusiasm. We offer a wide
variety of safaris that depart
daily or weekly. Today, Kenya
offers more accommodation
choices than ever with so many
options to ensure that your
adventure is truly magical.
Whether your clients seek a
value priced holiday or want
an “Out of Africa” experience
complete with luxury tents, we
will find an accommodation to
suit every style and budget.

About Safaris
About Safaris & Accommodation
It might be said that there is no “typical safari” in Africa. Each of our safaris differ by the
personalities of the participants, the wildlife viewing experience and the types of safari
chosen.
Seat-in-vehicle versus private
We offer a number of seat-in-vehicle safaris where the participants come from different agents,
locations and backgrounds. These people travel together for both the experience of seeing Africa and
also the opportunity to meet others that share their interests and experiences. These trips do not have
the flexibility that is available in a private safari. They do, however, have the benefit of a lower cost
because transport and other expenses of the trip are shared. These are great trips for single travellers
or couples. Private safaris are custom tailored for the specific interests of the participants with a bit
more flexibility in decisions such as start times of game drives.
About Accommodation
Safari Lodges - L
Permanent Luxury Tented
Camps - PC
Generally considered the best for a true safari
experience, permanent luxury tented camps are
generally smaller with between 5 and 25 total
tents. They are spacious, fully furnished and en
suite. They often have butler service and dining
is comparable with fine restaurants. Often, these
camps are sold on a fully inclusive meal plan with
house beverages included. Though permanent
in nature, some camps have seasonal closure
periods.
As special as a tented experience in Africa can
be, many travellers prefer safari lodges. These
vary dramatically in size and style. From small,
intimate bush homes to mid sized properties
with rondavals housing four rooms per building
to bigger lodges with accommodation for large
groups and complete facilities such as conference
rooms, business centre and swimming pools.

Wildlife Sanctuary
Fly-in safaris
These safaris depend on travel between places by aircraft. Generally, transfers and activities are
provided by the camp or lodge in shared use vehicles. The aircraft uses is often 12 or 13 seat
aeroplanes such as a Cessna Grand Caravan. Luggage allowances on these flights are generally
limited to a maximum of 15 kilograms in soft sided bags.
Fly-drive safaris (Safaris by air and road)
These programmes have a combination of driving and flying and may spend part or all of the time in our
vehicles. The flight is usually a time saving measure at the beginning or end of the adventure to avoid
retracing ground that has already been driven over. However, sometimes part of the trip is by road in
our vehicle and then another part is by air and then uses the lodge or camp’s vehicle.
Road safaris
Safaris by road are by road and almost always in our vehicles. For trips other than seat-in-vehicle, this
means you get the exclusive use of the vehicle on safari and the driver-guide is with you throughout the
part of the trip in that particular country.

Seasonal Semi Permanent &
Private Mobile Camps - SC

private mobile camps. Seasonal semi permanent
camps are similar to luxury tented camps except
they operate in a specific area for a few months
and then change location, generally based on the
movements of the wildebeest migration. Private
mobile camps are specifically set for a unique
safari and tailored to the needs of the clients. For
extensive details on our semi permanent and
private mobile camps, please see pages 12 & 13.

In gateway cities, there are a variety of hotels
with different styles and standards. Some are
multi story buildings whilst others have more
of a garden setting. They also have a variety
of amenities ranging from fitness and business
centres to hair salons and conference facilities.
Though an international star rating has not yet
been adopted in Eastern Africa, we deal with
hotels that could be considered from three star up
to five star standards and can accommodate both
needs and budgets.

Arrivals and departures
A typical safari starts with arrival to a gateway city. This may be Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in
Nairobi or Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha. Often, the first night is spent in the city giving
the holiday-makers time to refresh after their long flight. However, there are also people who arrive in
the early morning after an overnight flight and want to get to the bush straight away.
At the end of the trip, there may be the need for an overnight room in the gateway city because the
departure is in the early morning. Or, if departure is in the late evening, clients may wish to have a day
room to relax and refresh. In Nairobi, our Club Room that provides a comfortable place to relax before
heading to the airport.
Remember, when arriving you will need at least an hour to clear immigration, collect your baggage and
then clear customs. Should your flight be delayed, and you miss the start of your safari, there may be
expenses involved in catching up with the rest of the group.
Fly Camps - FC
Where is the bathroom?
With the exception of our "Under the Stars" safaris in Tanzania and fly camping, all accommodation
featured in this brochure have en suite bathroom facilities.
Along the coast of the Indian Ocean, including
Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia Islands are a vast
array of resort properties spanning a host of sizes
and standards. Many include spas and most
include PADI certified SCUBA diving and other
watersport activities. Some have entertainment
including animation, discos, live bands and
cultural shows. Others are very low key and
feature barefoot luxury.

Game Reserve
Excursions
A great way to enhance a safari experience is to add an excursion at the beginning or end of the safari.
These can include visits to cultural and historical sites as well as meals at some of East Africa’s best
restaurants.
Resorts - R
Some of our programmes provide the option for
fly camps. Fly camping is generally in lighter
weight tents and there are separate tents for
toilets and showers. Fly camping is often used
in remote areas on walking safaris where lorries
cannot access to provide the services of a larger
camp. These camps still have cooks and porters
to look after visitors’ needs and their remote
locations make fly camping a special experience.
Tented Lodges - TL
Villas - V, Private Villas - PV
Tented lodges and camps offer the same feel as
a safari lodge, with reception buildings, spacious
dining rooms and often pools and other facilities.
The difference is, guests still get the opportunity
to experience Africa under canvas. The “rooms”
are spacious, fully furnished tents with en suite
toilet facilities. Often, there is a thatched outer
roof serving as a fly sheet over the main tent and
providing a verandah - the perfect place to enjoy
the view.

We now offer a wide range of villas, primarily
on the coast. Villa complexes can vary widely
with one or two units or in some cases, dozens
of units. Generally, villas offer one or more
bedrooms, sitting room, dining area and spacious
private outside areas with verandahs. Many
include private plunge pools or even full sized
swimming pools. Service may be by personal
staff including a butler and personal chef;
however, there are also generally central facilities
such as a restaurant and bar available to guests
using a villa. Private villas offer sole use of all
facilities with a dedicated staff to look after only
your stay.

As part of our corporate social responsibility ARP Travel Group
continues to support initiatives to help protect the environment and
benefit the neighbouring communities. Our mission statements ensure
the promotion of ecotourism and environmentally aware policies as
mandatory in every aspect of our business.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our offices both in the United Kingdom and Africa have adopted a
number of policies to reuse, recycle and conserve wherever possible.
These include:
♦ Use of recycled paper as well as paper conservation
♦ Energy efficient lighting and technology
♦ Providing more information by email and Internet, reducing printed
documents
In our planning we have designed a number of itineraries that reduce
the dependency on vehicles. Also, we now have a variety of activities
that allow cultural interaction with proceeds helping the community.
These include:
♦ Walking, hiking and trekking safaris
♦ Fly-in safaris (saving the need for vehicles driving long distances)
♦ Community activities where our safari participants get involved in our
workshops
We have taken a number of steps in our workshops to make sure
that we can reduce the carbon footprint created by our safaris. These
include:
♦ Regular tyre pressure inspection
♦ Engine tune-up to improve fuel consumption
♦ Recycling of oil and use of super low sulphur fuel
♦ Driver training on efficient driving techniques to reduce fuel usage
♦ Rain water harvesting to reduce wastage of water

RHINO ADOPTION
Working with Friends of Tsavo and the Kenya Wildlife Service, Pollman's
Tours & Safaris is a sponsor of the "Adopt a Rhino" programme. The
programme's goal is to see more than 2000 black rhinoceros in the
Kenyan parks. The rhino population in East Africa had declined to near
extinction levels by the 1970's. Conservation efforts have helped bring
these herbivores back from the brink. Rhinoceros are at risk from
poachers who sell their horns which bring in large payments in illegal
trade.
MEAK & KWALE EYE CENTRE
For the past several years Pollman's Tours & Safaris has partnered with
MEAK (Medical and Educational Aid to Kenya), a UK based Charity that
provides both ophthalmic and orthopaedic surgery and cardiac health
care missions in Kenya. In supporting MEAK’s collaborative partner in
Kenya, the Kwale Eye Centre renders outreach ophthalmic care and eye
treatment services to rural communities in Kenya who cannot afford
medical and travel costs in seeking health care and treatment and risk
losing their eyesight.
MSORONGO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Pollman's Tours & Safaris, in association with friends of Tsavo and Taita
Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, introduced an initiative to integrate sustainable
farming using multi-crop farming that are resistant to raiding by wildlife
and hold commercial value. This includes Aloe vera for herbal and
cosmetic production, chili pepper as a cash crop sold to neighbouring
tourist lodges while Grovillea Robuta and Melia Volkenski trees are
planted as buffers for maize and beans grown as subsistence crops
within the farms thus limiting wildlife incursions. Pollman's Tours &
Safaris recognizes that the integrated farming module offers a viable
and sustainable approach to community development in the human –
wildlife conflict thereby encouraging optimal land use and productivity
in the retention of environmental integrity.
HELPING CHILDREN
Footprints Children’s Centre & School - Mombasa
This centre in Mombasa’s Shimba Hills cares for orphan and vulnerable
children providing shelter and education. The centre depends on
charitable and donor support in providing the basic needs for these
destitute children. Pollman’s Tours & Safaris provides transport for the
children to visit the centre from north and south coast resorts.
Shangalia Mtoto wa Afrika - Nairobi
This unique orphanage helps dozens of children by developing musical
and theatrical talents and providing them with opportunities to
perform. The centre is funded in part by the proceeds of the children’s
performances. Pollman’s Tours & Safaris can arrange visits to the centre
where guests are entertained with cultural dancing, choir singing,
African beat drumming and acrobatics.
Tumaini Children’s Foundation - Usa River (Arusha)
Children of Arusha and the surrounding communities who have been
orphaned or find themselves on the street have the chance to improve
their lives with the help of Tumaini Children’s Foundation.
Ranger Safaris supports the community by sponsoring a number of
disadvantaged youth with boarding school fees including children at
Cornel Ngaleku Children Centre near Mount Kilimanjaro.
HELPING YOU HELP
We are happy to connect both agents and travellers who wish to donate
money or goods with our recommended organisations. These organisations are chosen because they have shown integrity and accountability
in their operation and the donations are clearly being used for the
causes they support.
TREE PLANTING
ARP Travel Group along with Sarova Hotels, Resort & Game Lodges
have teamed up to restore the biodiversity of the Tsavo and Taita
Hills area. Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary is an important dispersal area
and migration corridor for wildlife travelling between the northern
and southern sections of Tsavo West National Park. Tree planting
is an important entry point for mobilising community and visitor
consciousness towards improved conservation. The tree planting
initiative has been introduced as an important step towards sustainable
development of the region’s ecosystem.
WILDLIFE SURVIVAL
Pollman’s Tours & Safaris donated funds for the construction of two water
troughs in Tsavo East National Park. These water troughs reduce the
pressure on existing water points in the park hence limiting the impact on
the surrounding vegetation at the water pans, and importantly reducing
the human versus wildlife conflict attributed to water demands by both
the animals and humans.

TRAVELLER PARTICIPATION
We encourage our travellers to join in efforts during their safaris. This
can be something as simple as planting a tree - an activity that is available at many lodges. Alternatively, travellers can follow the example of
a recent school group that travelled to Tanzania using Ranger Safaris. These students not only raised money for their safari, but also raised
funds to purchase farming equipment and even a cow! These were
donated to a local orphanage who, with the cow and garden that was
planted by the students before their safari, now provides food and milk
to the dozens of underprivileged children they house. The cow even
gave birth so now there is even more milk.
PARTICIPANT GUIDELINES
During the pre-safari briefing, we encourage our travellers to take some
simple measures to help protect the environments we travel in. These
include:
♦ Retaining all litter within the vehicle for disposal at an appropriate
location
♦ Resisting the temptation to give money to street children
♦ Avoid giving sweets to children encountered on safari
♦ Respecting the privacy of people that are encountered by not taking
their photograph without permission
♦ Avoid approaching and feeding wildlife
One of Africa's most magnificent attractions is the continuous
movement of more than one and a half million wildebeest. The world's
largest migration of mammals has been featured for years on television
programmes, with vivid images of wildebeest after wildebeest leaping
into the Mara River. Equally thrilling is the site of new calves being born
and struggling to get their footing with the threat of predators always
nearby.
Many travellers hope to include the opportunity to view the migration
as part of their safari. Our map below helps provide a typical cycle
of migration movements. It is important to note that the cycle is
dependant on rainfall and growth of grass and may not be exactly as
shown.
CONSERVATION EFFORTS IN OUR TENTED CAMPS
Every effort is made to operate Serengeti Explorer Camp in an
eco-friendly manner. Our staff are trained to be environmentally aware
and take a number of measures during the operation of our camps.
These include:
♦ All waste is carried out of the park and recycled in Arusha
♦ Firewood is collected only from naturally fallen trees
♦ Charcoal is not used in camp
♦ Water is used sparingly and rainwater is captured
♦ The camps in Serengeti National Park are supplied from a central area
within Serengeti National Park

A Kenya Odyssey to Mombasa Coast
After a restful night in Nairobi, you are quickly plunged into a sea of wildlife at Masai Mara. After two days, you travel to Lake Nakuru where you may encounter a sea of pink if you are
fortunate to find the vast population of lesser flamingo present at the lake. You continue to Amboseli where you will most likely see Mount Kilimanjaro as a dramatic backdrop to the
fine game viewing. As you continue to Tsavo, you will find yourself in a sea of lava as you pass through the Shetani Lava Flow. Then continue to Sarova Salt Lick Lodge where you will
see wildlife from the lodge’s floodlit observation areas. At the end of your adventure, you have a great chance to soak up the sun and surf as the safari ends in Mombasa on Kenya’s
Indian Ocean coast with a transfer to your favourite beach resort. It is plain to see why this is such a great safari.

Safari Snapshot
Our most popular combined safaris includes some of the best selling adventures in Kenya and Tanzania. Travel throughout is by road with border
formalities at Namanga. Both itineraries visit the same great parks and only vary in style of accommodation. Each programme is also packed with
game viewing from a shared 4x4 vehicle in Kenya and Tanzania. Upon return to Nairobi, the group is treated to a farewell dinner before the transfer to the late departing flight or local hotel for overnight. With four weekly departures between the two itineraries, you are bound to find a date
that meets your travel plans.

About À la Carte
About À la Carte
THE CONCEPT
Our new à la carte concept is designed to make it easier than ever for our agents to put together a custom safari package. We have
assembled à la carte components for almost every destination we cover. Many are fly-in packages where travel to and from the
destination is by air. In some cases, travel is by road as there are no scheduled flights to those areas.
SAFARI ROUTING
All of our à la carte programmes include information on the
safari routing. This will include information about the transfers,
flights and services in the bush.
Most of the à la carte programmes are three days long with the possibility of extending days. Generally they include:
♦ Transfers in the gateway city
♦ Travel (usually by air) to the park or village
♦ Transfers to the accommodation
♦ Shared activities, generally provided by the lodge or camp
♦ Return travel back to the gateway city
♦ Transfers in the gateway city
EXTRA DAYS
In the case of our example, as with most of our à la carte programmes, this safari is for 3 days, 2 nights. If a longer stay is
desired, the extra day will include activities as per day 2 of the
safari routing. The Price & Planning Guide shows the cost of
both the à la carte package and the extra days.
In most cases, where park entry fees or other charges may apply, these have been included in the à la carte package. If there are
times when all activities' costs are not included, we have clearly indicated this.
IN THE BROCHURE
Throughout the brochure, you will see "Where to stay" charts such as the one below for the Lake Manyara area. They differ from
area to area depending on the information that is needed. They all include our reference code, name of the property and meal plan
offered. Where appropriate, the flight information and shared activities offered are also mentioned. We have grouped properties
first by type such as "Lodge" and "Tented Lodge" as in the case below. They are listed in order of cost within their group.
We have also added a column for "Group" referring to the accommodation group the property is part of (where applicable). This
will help you determine where circuit discounts can be applied.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area without additional flights.
Other helpful information may be found in the footer.
Some accommodation properties have been left out because they do not provide services on game package. In places such as
Masai Mara National Reserve, we have provided a cross section of the properties available there. Naturally, we would be happy to
provide information for others on request.
The listing of where to stay is just the start.
50
When morning and afternoon flight options are available, we
reflect the morning option in our safari routing.
Some safari routing tables have other useful information contained in the footer.
BEST WAYS TO COMBINE
We expect that most travellers want to see more than one park
or destination when they travel to Africa. To cater for this, we
have also included boxes with information about the best ways
to combine à la carte programmes. These take into consideration the availability of flight connections and the most efficient
and economical way to travel between destinations.
If you were travelling in Kenya, for example, and wanted to
visit Masai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park
and Samburu National Reserve, looking at the "Best Ways to
Combine" boxes would show you that it would be best to start
with Amboseli, then connect to Samburu and fly directly from
Samburu to Masai Mara.
CALCULATING THE PRICE
The whole purpose of presenting our products in the à la carte
format is to allow you to calculate the safari cost quickly. Using
the Price & Planning Guide and perhaps a calculator, you can
piece together a price in minutes. Because there are circuit fares that can apply when combining
destinations, and considering that the flights are based on flying
between gateway cities, we have included a "Circuit Reduction"
section in the Price & Planning Guide to ensure you have every
selling advantage.

Safari Snapshot
Kenya À la Carte
Undoubtedly the best known of all the Kenya Game Reserves, Masai Mara National Reserve lies along Kenya’s south west border with Tanzania, bisected by the Mara River and
bordered on the western boundary by a spectacular escarpment (several scenes in the film ‘Out of Africa’ were shot in this area). Mara is an area of 2700 sq km (690 sq. miles). It is
home to the greatest variety and largest number of wild animals in Kenya. Masai Mara is also the northern extension of Tanzania’s famous Serengeti National Park and the animals
wander freely (no immigration stamps required) across man-made boundaries. It is impossible to prepare the first time visitor for the number of animals they may see. The waving
wheat-eared grass attracts huge

Amboseli À la Carte
The 392 square kilometre Amboseli National Park lies due south of Nairobi, within clear sight of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. The waters of the mountain feed the
seasonal swamps and marshes on which the wildlife and birds that live in the park rely. It is here that photographers will hope to shoot the classic picture of the elephant or giraffe
standing against the dramatic backdrop of the snow capped mountain. The park takes its name from the seasonal Lake Amboseli, which in dry weather resembles a massive salt pan.
In recent years Amboseli National Park has become world famous as the home of herds of elephants.

Samburu À la Carte
Samburu National Reserve is grouped along with Shaba and Buffalo Springs National Reserves and combined, the three game reserves lie
along the banks of Ewaso Nyiro River in one of the most unusual and attractive scenic areas of Kenya. Samburu National Reserve is situated
approximately 400 kilometres due north of Nairobi in a very dramatic area with Ololokwe (a large table mountain) in the background, views of the
Mathews range of mountains in the distance, and Mt. Kenya dominating the south eastern skyline on clear days. This is an area of blue and purple
landscapes, dry and barren, but with a beauty all of its own.
The permanent river, which rises in the Aberdare mountains in the west, supports a wide variety of wildlife and some of the species, such as
Grevy’s zebra, Somali blue necked ostrich, the striking reticulated giraffe and the dainty gerenuk, are unique to this area. Elephant families play in
the waters, there are large herds of buffalo and (except during droughts) the river is host to large numbers of crocodile. Lion and cheetah hunt in
the short scrub, leopard shelter in the high fever trees beside the river, and oryx and greater kudu are regularly sighted. This is the home of the
pastoral Samburu tribe, cousins of the nomadic Maasai.

Safari Snapshot
Tanzania À la Carte
Serengeti National Park is perhaps the best known game park in the world. With more than 14,000 square kilometres, there is a vast diversity between regions of the park. Movement
of the wildebeest migration, with more than 1.5 million gnus, zebras and predators, provides a unique selling point for this exciting destination. Seasonal camps relocate to ensure they
are in close proximity to this popular attraction. Serengeti offers far more than the migration, however. Resident game including all of the big five means you can experience outstanding wildlife viewing in any area of the park during any season. Many travellers prefer to save Serengeti as the climax of their safari; however, it is possible to include the park in most
places of an itinerary. Most visitors feel that two nights in Serengeti National Park is not enough. The flexibility of our à la carte programmes allows you to add as many days as desired
to the time spent in Serengeti National Park.

Grumeti Reserves À la Carte
Located north west of Serengeti National Park, this private reserve covers an area within the Serengeti ecosystem. A large portion of the great migration passes through the reserve
as the herds head into Kenya’s Masai Mara. The reserve is also home to an abundance of resident wildlife and game viewing is good year round. As Grumeti Reserves does not fall
under the rules of the National Parks, there is a larger flexibility of game viewing activities including star gazing and horseback riding. We recommend that you combine a few of the
experiences at Grumeti Reserves to make the most of your holiday. Each venue offers an amazing contrast from the opulence of Sasakwa Lodge to the truly natural adventure of Singita
Explore.

Tarangire National Park & Lake Manyara National Park À la Carte
Best known for its large elephant herds, Tarangire National Park offers a diverse game viewing experience. The landscape is dominated by massive
baobab trees and the Tarangire River which dissects the park providing a great opportunity to capture wildlife of all sizes stopping for a drink. One of Tanzania’s smaller National Parks, Lake Manyara National Park is dominated by the soda lake that is home to a variety of waterfowl. Fed
by underground springs, the park has lush vegetation. Large troupes of olive baboon roam the park and often entertain visitors with their antics. There is also a good chance of spotting resident wildlife ranging from giraffes to hippopotamuses. Both parks are popular for great game viewing
and exceptional accommodation choices.

Karatu & Ngorongoro Conservation Area À la Carte
The village of Karatu lies at the base of the caldera that makes up Ngorongoro Crater and is a few minutes from the Conservation Area’s gate. The fertile farmland and cool climate provide a perfect venue for farming coffee and the rich flavoured beans are exported around the world. The predominant tribe of Karatu is the Iraqw Tribe. During a stay in Karatu, a visit
to the Iraqw Cultural Centre can be arranged. Other popular activities include nature walks and coffee tasting. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to Ngorongoro Crater - a World
Heritage Site and the largest unflooded, intact caldera in the world. The crater was formed more than 25 million years ago by the collapse of a massive volcano. The volcanic ash has developed
into fertile land supporting lush vegetation. In turn, this vegetation supports more than 30,000 resident mammals within an area of only 102 square miles meaning game viewing in the crater
is often the high point of the safari.

tranquil Momella Lakes. The slopes and foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro allow for game viewing, horse riding and much more. We have expanded
this section to include Lake Victoria with a safari by air to the amazing Rubondo Island. With nearly 1000 species of birds indigenous to these

Netherlands. It is one of Africa’s largest game control areas. Those visiting the reserve are amazed at the undisturbed beauty and variety of
wildlife. Boat trips along the Rufiji River or the Great Ruaha River can include sightings of crocodiles and hippopotamuses as well as hundreds of
bird species. Some, such as the yellow crested barbet are generally only found in the southern parks of Tanzania. A full range of African wildlife
can be found in the reserve. Everything from antelope to zebra, both predator and prey are frequently sighted. The reserve boasts one of
Africa’s largest elephant populations. Activities include boat excursions, walking safaris, and game drives, often in fully open 4x4 vehicles. More
adventurous travellers might consider fly camping for one or two nights (available optionally and not included in the price).
For a small supplement, you
can start or end your trip to
Selous Game Reserve in Zanzibar. Using through fares, this
option provides a great value
and makes for a perfect safari
during your beach holiday.

Ruaha National Park À la Carte
At 10,300 square kilometres, Ruaha National Park is Tanzania’s second largest. Located in the southern half of the country, the park is not as
frequently visited as those located in the north making it the perfect location for people wanting to be off the beaten path. The herbivores of
this park, including Grant’s gazelle, lesser and greater kudu, Roan antelope, impala and waterbuck face a daily challenge of evading a range of
predators including several prides of lions and other cats such as leopard and cheetah. They also face a threat from both the spotted and striped
hyena as well as packs of the endangered wild dog. If you are looking for elephants, Ruaha National Park is the place to be. With more than
10,000 elephants, the park has the largest population of any in East Africa.

Other Southern Tanzania À la Carte
Mikumi National Park is in a strategic location providing a stop-over on road safaris to Selous, Ruaha and visits to the Udzungwa Mountains. The
park is 3,230 square kilometres in size and features the Mkata River and related floodplains that attract an array of wildlife. The movement of the
resident herbivores – impala, wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo – is closely tracked by the resident carnivores. These being the large lions that will sit
atop termite mounds, perched in trees, or using the tall grass as cover. They survey this daily walking buffet waiting for one that catches their eye
as being particularly tasty.

Saadani National Park is where the beach meets the bush. Saadani is the only park in East Africa to enjoy a beach front along the Indian Ocean. At 1,062 square kilometres, what this park lacks in volume of wildlife it makes up in variety. A vast range of grazers and primates is seen on game
drives and walking safaris. They include spotted hyena, eland, sable antelope, giraffe, warthog, black-backed jackal, common waterbuck, reedbuck, hartebeest, wildebeest, yellow baboon, red duiker, greater kudu and vervet monkey. Visitors can also expect to see herds of elephants. The
beaches of Saadani also form one of the important breeding grounds for the green turtle.
Ras Kutani is located on a pristine stretch of beach south of Dar es Salaam offering great swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Lazy Lagoon is located at the end of a peninsula, 3 kilometres by boat from historic Bagamoyo. In addition to relaxation, you can arrange
excursions (at an additional cost) to the historic ruins and other sites of interest.

Best of Both Worlds
The challenge for travellers considering the Best of Both Worlds programme is deciding which of the three outstanding options to select. The combination of Solio Lodge and Sala’s
Camp offers exquisite luxury in option A. Kicheche provides luxury and intimacy in the two camps offered in option B. Serena provides consistent outstanding value and a high level of
service in option C. However, the Best of Both Worlds does not refer to the accommodation choices but the diversity of the two areas visited in this short fly-in package. The unique
qualities of Laikipia and Ol Pejeta Conservancy differ vastly from the unforgettable experience of a visit to Masai Mara.

This safari truly visits some of Kenya’s undiscovered treasures. Elephant Bedroom Camp is small and intimate. Though you might not actually have an elephant in your bedroom, they
may visit the camp during your stay. Guided bush walks, boat excursions and game drives may lead to viewing of wildlife ranging from Aardvark to Zebra. The exceptional service and
massive tents of Tipilikwani Mara Camp will make it difficult for you to leave at the end of your safari. Here too, game viewing will fill your day and excellent cuisine will make each

Saruni Experience
In today’s fast moving world, it is more important than ever to occasionally slow down, let our spirit breathe and our whole being awaken. Combine this with getting away from the
crowds, culture, spectacular lodges and world class game viewing and this is a very special safari, ideal for honeymoons and families. The accommodation has been chosen for its style
and originality, comfort and location. With some of Africa’s best camps, guides and virtually everything included, days are as lazy or adventurous as you would like them to be. Some of
the activities include walking safaris, day and night game drives, spa treatments, cultural village visits, bush dinners and much more.

Great Camps Through Kenya
Safari Snapshot
This safari to Mt Meru, Samburu and Masai Mara combines one of Africa’s greatest conservation projects with one of the world’s most spectacular wilderness areas. The trip is stylish,
personal and uses a combination of very different camps in spectacular settings. Activities range from day and night game drives to excellent guided walks that follow tracks through
abundant game areas and balloon safaris are also worth considering here. Guides are knowledgeable and experienced and if you choose the dry season, you could be in Masai Mara
watching wildebeest thunder right past your tent.

Bush Homes Through Kenya
This classic safari combines some of Kenya’s most exclusive safari retreats, hosted by families historic to Kenya’s bygone era. The camps and lodges are all small and romantic, the
landscapes rich in culture and the wilderness brought alive by knowledgeable guides who are generally from the area. Activities range from walking, camel-trekking, horse-riding
and night game drives to perhaps feeding a rhino and camping outdoors overlooking a waterhole. As this safari uses small intimate properties, there are no fixed daily activities or
schedules. Here, the emphasis is to build each day around the guests’ personal requirements, whether this involves a day out walking with a picnic lunch or a few hours relaxing around
a swimming pool. All meals and most drinks are included. Activities include day and night game drives, visits to the rhino sanctuary, horse and camel-riding, picnics and bush dinners,
sunset drinks, tennis, village visits, mountain-biking, sleeping under the stars and much more.

Taste of Tented
Travelling entirely by road provides an opportunity to see things you may not experience when using light aircraft. The Taste of Tented safari takes you past the sparse land of the
Maasai Steppe in the Rift Valley used by the Maasai to graze their cattle. You pass through the banana rich village of Mto wa Mbu, and ascend to the top of the escarpment providing
spectacular views of the Rift Valley and Lake Manyara National Park below. After two nights in your comfortable lodge, you continue to Serengeti National Park where you reach
Serengeti Explorer Camp. These three nights put you in the heart of the action. The safari then finishes with the highlight of a visit to Ngorongoro Crater before returning to Arusha by
road for your onward connections.

Shores and Savannah Safari
The headwaters of the Nile River has attracted generations of explorers. The most notable was John Hanning Speke whose expeditions brought him prominence and led to the naming
of Speke Bay, an inlet on Lake Victoria near the gateway to Serengeti National Park. To reach the lake, Speke travelled over a period of months across the vast Savannah. Our shores
and Savannah Safari provides a faster route for travellers to reach the lake. You depart Arusha by small aircraft and fly to the Grumeti Airstrip. From here it is a short drive before
reaching the tranquillity of your lodge situated on the shores of Lake Victoria. After your time exploring the lake, you begin your safari adventure through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and
Lake Manyara enjoying the hospitality of Serena Hotels and Lodges before returning to Arusha by road.

Great Encounters
With more than 130 tribes, the people of Tanzania certainly have a diverse and rich culture. Our Great Encounters safari gives you a chance to experience some of those people close
up with a chance to interact with the Hadzabe, view the onion farms of the Datoga, see the Iraqw Cultural Centre and visit a Maasai village to experience first hand the life of these
nomadic people and their homes built from cow dung. You also have the chance to visit the “Cradle of Mankind” with a visit to Olduvai Gorge, named from the plant called “oltupai” by
the Maasai and home to several important archaeological discoveries. We have not left out game viewing. Aside from the great encounters with the people of Tanzania, you are bound
to encounter the “big five” and much more.

North Meets West
This exciting package combines the best parts of Tanzania’s northern parks with the thrill of tracking chimpanzees and experiencing the wildest shores of Lake Tanganyika. We offer two
styles of accommodation for this safari but certainly the thrill of the game viewing and chimp experience will be a constant. The first part of the safari uses a private 4x4 until day 05
when you fly to Serengeti National Park. From there you are on full game package with all transfers and game viewing activities handled by the camps and lodges.

Serious South
The vast expanse of southern Tanzania calls for a serious safari that provides extensive time for exploration as well as some relaxation on its pristine coastline. The two options of
this safari provide different levels of accommodation whilst keeping the same sense of excitement and adventure. Travel between parks is by air. The trip includes an excursion to
Udzungwa Mountains with a chance for a trek along the trails - a perfect spot for bird watchers. Three days in each of Ruaha National park and Selous Game Reserve provide amazing
opportunities for game viewing. Then you wind down in barefoot luxury at either Ras Kutani or Bagamoyo’s Lazy Lagoon.

Chimps of Gombe
Western Tanzania
Gombe Stream National Park lies on the western shores of Lake
Tanganyika and is well known for the work of Jane Goodall, the world
renowned researcher who spent years studying the chimpanzee found
in the park. The journey starts with a flight by light aircraft to Kigoma. It is near here in the village Ujiji that Henry Morton Stanley is said to
have met Livingstone and greeted him with the now famous, “Doctor
Livingstone, I presume.” You have a chance to visit that spot and the
memorial erected to Livingstone. You then travel by speedboat to
Gombe spending time trekking to observe the chimpanzee and also
enjoying some of the other activities the camp offers.

Three Dreams of Africa
Africa is often referred to as a dream destination. In our Three Dreams of Africa safari, we have captured three of the most thrilling components of any traveller’s dream. You start with
a journey to the heart of Ngorongoro Crater. An extinct volcano, the millennia of volcanic ash has formed a lush green paradise teeming with more than 30,000 resident mammals. Then it is off to Serengeti National Park. Frequent home to the migration of more than 1.6 million wildebeest, Serengeti is packed with wildlife year round and game viewing is bound
to be extraordinary. Then you fly on to Rwanda where you trek to view mountain gorillas - an experience beyond compare.

Safari Snapshot
Great Parks of East Africa
This skilfully crafted safari is packed with game viewing and enjoys the highlights of both Kenya and Tanzania. Arrival and departure using Nairobi allows for a variety of international
flight choices. Travelling by road for much of the safari means travellers can enjoy some of the sights that are missed when just flying. Ending with a fly-in safari to Masai Mara National
Reserve cuts out some of the longer driving days and provides the perfect completion to a great holiday.

About Mountain Climbing
Our knowledge of climbing the mountains of East Africa is equal only to the service that our climbers receive
during their adventure. We provide complete information packets to our agents so that they will be able to
become experts on climbing expeditions. These include:
→ How to physically prepare for your climb
→ Pre departure check-lists with packing information and important travel tips
→ Detailed day by day itineraries of what can be expected during the climb
SHARED VERSUS PRIVATE CLIMBS
Our climbs can all operate on a shared or private basis. Shared climbs are not guaranteed to have other
participants in the group. Private climbs do not mix people of different abilities on the same trip leaving some
struggling to keep up and others hindered in their progress. Each booking, be it a single traveller or group, is
provided with their own crew including professional mountain guides, porters and a cook. Our climbs also
include all transfers starting and ending at Kilimanjaro International Airport and accommodation at the base
hotel. Mountain Climbing - Introduction
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I have a private room on a Marangu Route climb?
A: No. The Marangu Route climb and the climb of Mount Meru use Alpine huts provided and maintained by
the National Parks. They are dormitory style with bunk beds and house between five and twelve climbers.
Q: Can I have a private tent on the camping based climbs?
A: Yes, we are happy to provide private tents. Every couple gets their own two person tent (three person tent
on premium climbs). Single travellers get a private single tent at no additional cost. A single room supplement will apply at the base lodge.
Q: I don’t want to be alone on the mountain. What if there are no groups operating on the dates I want to climb?
A: You are never alone on the mountain. Even private climbs share the campsites with dozens of other climbers. Generally, you will make friends with some of the other climbers and hike with them during the day. On
private climbs, you have your own climb team to look after you.
Q: Is there a benefit to a private climb?
A: Yes. With a private climb, you are able to proceed at your pace. You won’t feel pressured to move faster
nor will you be held back by those that are struggling to keep up. Your dedicated guide(s), cook and porters
look after your needs and become your personal coach in helping your achieve the summit. Q: Do you suggest an acclimatisation day?
A: Yes. We suggest two extra days to your climb itinerary. The first should be your arrival day. This gives
you a chance to get over jet lag and acclimatise to Africa’s time zone before you start the climb. It also gives
you time to have a thorough equipment check and meet your climb team. The second is an extra day on the
mountain. Each itinerary for Mount Kilimanjaro mentions where the extra day can be except the Shira Route. This climb has the extra day built in.
Q: Do I have to bring a sleeping bag?
A: No. You can arrange to hire a sleeping bag at the base hotel. We suggest you arrange this in advance to
ensure one is reserved for you. If you prefer to bring your own bag but don’t want to carry it on safari after
the climb, we can of course store it for you on most programmes. Sleeping bags are provided on our Premium Climbs (of Mount Kilimanjaro)
104
Q: Can I do the safari and then climb?
A: Yes, but we do not recommend this. Most people prepare for their climb with a rigorous fitness routine. Safaris tend to involve a lot of time sitting or standing in a vehicle and the fitness edge is lost.
Premium Climb Option (Mount Kilimanjaro only)
TWO STANDARDS OF CLIMBS ON MOUNT KILIMANJARO

the same but our Premium Climbs offer:

• All meals included at the base lodge
• Guaranteed private transfers from/to Kilimanjaro International Airport
• Guaranteed private transfers to/from the park gates

Safari Snapshot
Mount Kenya Climbing Expedition
As you climb Mount Kenya, you get a feeling of how massive this volcanic mountain once was. It is believed by geologists that Mount Kenya might have once been higher than Everest. After fierce volcanic activity, several millennia past, the mountain has lost much of its height and at 4985 metres now ranks as Africa’s second highest peak. Though not as high as
neighbouring Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya is far more difficult to summit. The rocky trails are often steep, but climbers are rewarded with amazing views and an enormous feeling
of accomplishment. The route shown on this page is the route we most often use; however, during some seasons, we traverse one of two alternate routes to take advantage of the
sun’s position.

Mount Meru Climbing Expedition
Mountain Climbing - Mt Meru/Mt Kilimanjaro
Those that have climbed both Mount Kilimanjaro and Tanzania’s second
highest peak, Mount Meru often say that the latter is a more difficult
climb. Trails are steeper and the ascent to the summit is faster but
the rewards of spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Arusha as
well as the abundance of small mammals and bird life found during the
climb make this experience well worth the effort.

Marangu Route Climbing Expedition
Considered the easiest of the Mount Kilimanjaro climb routes, this climb
is still both challenging and rewarding. With accommodation in Alpine
huts, the number of climbers is regulated by the park authority. This
has the advantage of reduced crowds on the trails. You travel with your
guide, porters and cook throughout the trek and meals are prepared
at each hut by your climb staff. Each shared hut accommodates up to
twelve climbers and provides basic dormitory style shelter.

Machame Route Climbing Expedition
Our Machame Route climb is our most popular. Treks each day are well
paced and offer time to enjoy the surroundings and views. Changes
in elevation are gradual and climbers can build their way to the more
difficult days at the end. An additional day staying at Karanga Valley
Camp is always recommended to increase the chance of success in
reaching the summit.

Shira Route Climbing Expedition
The longer treks on this route are rewarded with spectacular views of

Historic Route Highlights of Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a land of contrasts and adventure. This vast nation has so
much to see that we offer this safari with travel mostly by air so visitors
can absorb as much of the rich culture and amazing history as possible. With convenient connections between Europe, the Americas and Asia
to East Africa on the Ethiopian national carrier, it is clear why a visit to
this remarkable land combines so well with an East African safari.

Southern Africa remains an exciting holiday
destination. From the cosmopolitan night
life and sparkling beaches of Cape Town
to the beauty of the scenery along the
garden routes, passing spectacular vineyards;
from the shores of the Skeleton Coast to
the thundering waters of Victoria Falls;
Southern Africa truly is a destination that has
something for everyone.
With such a broad spectrum of products

Johannesburg & Sun City À la Carte
Soweto Tour
Being South Africa's major gateway city, many adventures start or end through O. R. Tambo International
Airport. We have selected accommodation choices both at the airport and in the city centre in a variety of
styles and budgets. If you are feeling more adventurous, head to Sun City. You might even try your luck at
one of Sun City's world famous casinos.
HALF DAY - DEPARTING DAILY AT 0800
EXCLUDES LUNCH
SOWETO, the acronym for South Western Township, is home to over 2 million people, who, despite
living in crowded and chaotic conditions, have a tangible sense of community, one which ironically, the
ordered, walled, elitist northern suburbs lack. Inside Soweto, we visit the Hector Pieterson Museum,
and discover the cause of the tragic riots which led to his death; we pass Mandela House, and give
you time to visit this fascinating little museum (own account). Our journey continues to Regina Mondi
Church, site of many secret underground meetings of the then banned political parties. Soweto is unlike
a suburb you have ever seen or been to, yet the history of struggle encapsulated here is a cornerstone
of the South African story.
- TOUR CODE SAE14601
Johannesburg City Tour
HALF DAY DEPARTING DAILY AT 1230
EXCLUDES LUNCH
South Africa’s largest city remains its financial and commercial heart. It is in this fast-paced metropolis
that the country’s radical political and social transformation is most evident – this is the ‘Rainbow Nation’
at work. It is a heady experience, with contrasts of every kind round every single corner. The tour
sets off for Constitution Hill, home of South Africa’s architectural marvel, the Constitutional Court and
site of Johannesburg’s Old Fort Prison. We meander through the newly renovated, quaint and quirky
suburb of Melville with its vibey shops and trendy restaurants, and stop at Newtown Market, home of
Johannesburg Market Theatre. Museum Africa is Johannesburg’s premier cultural history museum,
reminiscent of a 1950’s shebeen or pub, and it is here you will really sense the soul of the inner city. We
return to your hotel via the flipside of the coin, the lush, upmarket suburb of lower Houghton. A city of
contrasts, that is for certain.
Constitution Hill and Old Fort Prison closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Pretoria City Tour
South Africa - Johannesburg
FULL DAY DEPARTING DAILY AT 0800

Come on a cultural journey of exploration through the capital, the Jacaranda City, so called for its breathtaking purple-lined streets when the jacaranda trees
are in full bloom. We are ready and set to trace South Africa’s extraordinary history via a range of imposing, intriguing museums and monuments, beginning
with the legendary Voortrekker Monument, a memorial to the early settlers. We travel on to the Kruger Museum, the private residence of President Paul
Kruger of the old Transvaal Republic, and visit Church Square, surrounded by vintage buildings dating back to the turn of the century. We have chosen to end
this City Tour with the Union Buildings, not only an architectural icon, but site of the emotionally charged scene which played out at Nelson Mandela’s joyful
inauguration as president in 1994. You will be standing precisely where South African history turned the corner.

Wild and wonderful, that is for sure. The day begins early with a professionally guided, closed vehicle game drive into big five country: Pilanesberg National
Park. Who knows which of the big or little five you will see? Close neighbour to this superb natural reserve is Sun City; one of South Africa’s most popular
theme resorts. You will have full access to the casino for a little flutter or two. For the really curious, you will want to visit the Wave, swimming pools, and even
enjoy an optional guided tour of the Lost City*. It is a fabulously relaxing day.
*Some activities may require additional payment made direct. Casino chips are not included in the tour. Lunch is payable directly.
Lesedi Cultural Tour
HALF DAY DEPARTING - DAILY AT 1430

Five cultures in a day, that is what we will be exploring at the Lesedi Cultural Village, heart and home
to families of a range of African tribes, all living harmoniously in true traditional homesteads. You will be
right there experiencing the warmth and hospitality of people from the Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele, Sotho and
Pedi cultures, and you will find it fascinating! Our multilingual, multivisual orientation depicts the history
of South Africa, and will deepen your understanding of the complexity of our multicultural community. As
evening falls, we all enjoy a traditional African meal, a fine way to round off a day of new experiences
and fresh insights.
Cape Town À la Carte
Cape Town City Tour
The beauty of the sea is shown at its best in Cape Town. At the southern tip of the continent, this land is
blessed with spectacular scenery, sweeping coastlines, and an important history in the development of
the nation. From Table Mountain to Robben Island and on to the wineries that have made South Africa
a global competitor in the wine market, the region invites visitors with warm hospitality and world class
accommodation.
EXCLUDES LUNCH
Including all the "must-sees" of any Cape Town day tour, this option is a geographical & cultural
extravaganza, showing you Cape Town, from its historical beginnings to the dazzling modern shopping
malls of the Waterfront. If the Table Mountain cable car (funicular) is not running due to bad weather, we
will drive you up to the spectacular Signal Hill view site overlooking Cape Town as an alternative. If you
have already paid in advance for the cable car ride, our guide will refund you accordingly.
Cape Point Tour
EXCLUDES LUNCH
It is wild, it is rugged, it is undoubtedly one of the most memorable coastlines you will have encountered: the Cape Peninsula, and the splendour of Cape
Point. We begin our journey cruising along Millionaires Paradise – ogle the glamorous homes and beautiful people of Clifton Beach and Camps Bay – and
you will be in no doubt as to how it earned its title. From there, we wend our way towards the charming coastal town and working harbour of Hout Bay, then
hug the cliffs as we snake along the legendary Chapman’s Peak Drive (subject to road conditions), with its breathtaking views, towards the Cape of Good
Hope Nature Reserve and its rugged, intriguing landscape. An optional trip from here, is to Boulders Beach penguin colony (own account), a fascinating
excursion, before we move on to the historical naval port of Simon’s Town. It is a wonderful half-day spent on the wilder side of this exquisite Cape coastline.

Townships & Robben Island Tour
FULL DAY - DEPARTING DAILY (WEATHER PERMITTING) AT 0830
INCLUDES LUNCH
Experience another facet of Cape Town, one revealed to very few tourists. This intimate interactive tour will expose you to some of Cape Town’s multicultural life – see how our spirit of Kanalah, Ubunthu and reconciliation is being played out by Capetonians. This is a positive and interactive tour, which will
afford the visitor the opportunity to meet and speak to the local people. On arrival, tourists often discover that they did not understand the extent to which
previous race classification laws fragmented our society. Many people who the visitor originally assumed were defined as black were in fact classified as
coloured or Indian and did not live in the townships but in other designated areas. We take our visitors into the townships, but preserve the integrity of our
tour by also introducing them to the traditional Malay Quarter known as Bo-Kaap as well as Athlone, Rylands and District 6. These areas were defined as
coloured areas with Rylands having been defined as an Indian area. After the Township Tour ends, guests are transferred to the Ferry departure terminal
for the transfer to Robben Island. At the terminal they are greeted by their Robben Island tour guide and guests are picked up for their transfer to respective
hotels at approximately 17:00.

Historical, glorious Stellenbosch with its Cape Dutch architecture, is the warm and wonderful heart of
the Cape Winelands, and is surrounded by stunning wine estates. It is truly the prettiest town, home
to one of the country’s prestigious universities, and you will love exploring the fine art galleries, the
architecture, the history, the curious and quaint shops. But first, we take a leisurely drive to acquaint you
with the beauty of this world-renowned region, before inducting you into the wine-making process in a
fascinating cellar tour. When the wine’s made, it needs to be tasted, so we will twist your arm to test
and taste …and no doubt, you will leave with a favourite bottle or two under your arm. Stellenbosch is
arguably one of the Province’s most beautiful towns – but you can be the judge.

Meetings, Conferences, Incentive Programmes & Exhibitions
Event planners are always looking for exciting destinations for their next conference. Corporations are
searching for innovative locations and ideas to provide amazing incentives to their top performers. East
Africa has the draw of incredible wildlife, exceptional service, sparkling blue water gently lapping sandy
Indian Ocean beaches and world class hotels, lodges and resorts able to meet the specific requirements of
event organisers. Our creative team can help develop unique experiences tailored to the needs of the customer. We are happy
to handle groups of any size and provide an experience the participants will long talk about.
Cruise Ship and Charter Airline Handling
The ability to handle the arrival
of an aeroplane with hundreds
of holidaymakers or a cruise
ship with thousands requires a
destination management company
with resources and attention to
details. For a successful execution, planning starts at the Alpha Travel
offices where our experienced
team lay out the excursion and
transfer requirements.
Then the management in
Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, and
Zanzibar begin arranging the
manpower and transportation
needed to ensure the arrivals are
successful. For cruise ships, there is generally
a short period to get people into
the correct vehicles and out on
their shore excursions. Meeting room setup at Baobab Beach Resort & Spa, Diani
Bush meeting, Serena Hotels
Group Travel
Conference, Groups, Cruise Ships and More
ARP Travel Group handles a wide variety of groups - both big and small. Our travel planners are experts
at designing itineraries that will match the requirements and budget for schools, universities, museums,
organisations, clubs, and family reunions. Our specialists will enquire as to the reasons the group wants to
visit Africa and match a programme best suited to those requirements. We will take care of everything from
planning to execution, creating a memorable experience for your group.
For charter flights, it is a matter of
coordinating where people need
to go and confirming their resort
accommodation is arranged. This
is of course followed up with
our team on the ground helping
arrange activities and making sure
everyone is happy.
