We are excited to announce that we have just launched our first 'classic' tour to Southern Africa - no golf, just a jam packed exclusive luxury tour to Victoria Falls, Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, The Garden Route and Cape Town. Those of you who have travelled to Africa on our golf tours will know that we have an awesome ground operator there who runs our tours. Grant has put together this fantastic tour that visits four of the gems of Southern Africa for us. The tour is marketed under Africa Encounters, a part of Travel Encounters, which is our travel agency side of the business.
You can read all about the tour and download the brochure here. We have an early bird saving running on the tour at the moment, with a $500 discount when registering for the tour before 31 October.
If you know of friends who are thinking of travelling to Africa next year, please let them know about this tour, as it will not disappoint. All the same things that go into making our golf tours such a success have gone into this tour, so we know that the tour will be an amazing experience for all those on it. In addition, we have a special offer for you; tell your friends about our Treasures of Africa tour and if your friends (who are not already on our database!) book with us for the tour, we will give you a $500 travel voucher to spend on any overseas travel or towards a Charlies Golf Tour. Please make sure you let us know who you have referred to us, so we can make the connection.
