Tucan adds 40 new tours
Adventure tour operator Tucan Travel has launched 40 new tours in East and Southern Africa after demand from customers and agents.
The tours range from 9 to 73 days and offer travellers the chance to experience national parks, wildlife and the urban highlights of the popular Nairobi to Cape Town route.
The new Africa tours will operate from March 2011 and any bookings made six months before departure will qualify for a 5% early booking discount.
Tucan Travel general manager UK and Europe, Bec Whiffin, said the new Africa tours were developed based on a combination of market research and customer feedback.
“Feedback from direct enquiries and travel agents has shown us that many travellers would love to explore Africa with us, but very few have the time to commit to a lengthy overland tour,†she said.
“As a result of that, we have created 16 tours which are 21 days duration or shorter.â€
