Tour Desk: The pick of this week’s tour offers
APT’s Africa brochure for 2014 includes two new itineraries.
The company has launched its own luxury tented camp in the Serengeti, more than doubled departures on its two-night Chobe River cruise on board the Zambezi Queen and is offering two new tour extensions.
APT general manager marketing, Debra Fox, said: "Last year’s sales for this destination (Africa) were phenomenal. Within just three months of launching our 2013 brochure we were adding new dates to keep up with demand."
