New look homepage

Last week we decided to redesign our homepage to make it even easier for customers to find their ideal safari holiday. After lots of thought and design ideas the new home page launched on Sunday. We are really pleased with the results and hope that our customers and followers like it too.

Egypt Holidays

Great news. We launched our new Egypt Holidays page today. We can offer cruises along the Nile, hotel stays at Cairo, Luxor and Sharm El Sheikh. See the Valley of the Kings and the fanous Temples of the ancient Egyptians.

Honeymoon Heaven

As the wedding season approaches we at http://www.alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk/ are helping  brides and grooms in selecting the perfect honeymoon destination. Safari holidays are always popular and we currently have a range of special offers including a discount for brides.

As well as safari holidays Africa is home to the beautiful coast line of the Indian Ocean offering romantic and relaxing destinations. The beaches are beautiful and you are spoilt for choice on where to go. Two of our favourites are Mozambique or The Seychelles.

So if you are getting married this year and want a honeymoon to remember without any hassle get in touch.

Wanderlust magazine!

We've made it into the big time with our first advert in a major publication. Wanderlust is a massively popular travel magazine covering everywhere and anywhere in the world, including our beloved Africa. We are so proud of our advert (in the marketplace section), but if you want to check out our site then do so. We have some special trips advertised including such places as Djibouti (where you can swim with Whale Sharks),  Malawi and of course Kenya for the Great Migration.

The below photo was taken in a reserve in South Africa - as rare as Rhinos are, it is truly wonderful when you can get this close to such majestic creatures. Want to do the same, then talk to us!

Its been another busy week in the tour operator world this week for http://www.alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk/. At the beginning of the week we announced a range of new deals for families going on safari holidays with improved discounts for children. So there really is no better time to show your children the wonders of nature first hand. Full details at http://www.alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk/africansafariholidayschilddiscounts/

We have also added information to each of our country pages to help you pick the best holiday itineraries for you. They also give you the low down on some of the alternative destinations you may not familiar with. I have definately got Ethiopia on my list to visit. http://www.alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk/ethiopia/

Tanzania Safaris

It's been a busy week here at Alternative African Adventures as we have had a newsletter from our good friends at Adventure Camps in Southern Tanzania giving us an update on all the animal sightings and what they are planning for the 2013 season. You can read the newsletter at http://www.adventurecampstz.com /kwihalanews.htm?utm_source=Kwihala+Newsletter+March+2013&utm_campaign=KwihalaMar2013&utm_medium=email

Then check out our web page http://www.alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk/tanzania/ for more information on visiting Tanzania and suggested safari holiday itineraries. For the latest special offers available through Adventure Camps see our special offers page http://www.alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk/category/special-offers/

Still longing for the sun as the winter nights drag on? I know we are. It's this time of year when you wonder whether the sun will ever come back ... hence why most people plan their summer holidays at this time of year.

If it's sun you're after then why not have a look at our Kenya holidays? September or October is the perfect time to visit, as you could catch the Great Migration of the wildebeast herds as they move from the Tanzania Serengeti to the Mara in Kenya.

Good news for all safari lovers. Our website alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk now has its very own special offers page where we are posting details on the deals we can offer at some of Africa's best safari lodges and camps. This includes offers for families as well as for single travellers with the aim being to make safari holidays accessible to all budgets. Chek out the page for more details or contact us as info@alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk for more information.

BBC Africa and Cycling Holidays

Another very busy month for us at Alternative African Adventures. With the BBC Africa show and the channel 4 Charley Boorman show about South Africa, interest from clients wanting to see this wonderful continent has increased. But this is all good - the more people who want an African safari holiday rather than just sitting by the pool makes us happy!

We've added extra pages to the website (www.AlternativeAfricanAdventures.co.uk) this month, including a cycling page with loads of new cycling holidays to such wonderful destinations as South Africa, Morocco and India (www.alternativeafricanadventures.co.uk/cycling-holidays-and-tours/). Yes, I know India is not in Africa, but we also have some great holidays to other parts of the world too.

Next month we launch an advert in the Wanderlust magazine. First draft of the advert has been created and is being reviewed - more to follow soon.

Finally, check out this video of our Director Rachel learning how to handle a Rhinkals snake ...
