VALUE-ADDED EXPERIENCE
» Through our years in the Safari Industry we have negotiated special rates on many of our pre-planned trips that are less than if booked direct. Travel under the umbrella of “AAC” rather than just a one-time internet booking.
» We include added values on some of our group departures such a s complimentary first night hotel stays.
» Our team is constantly traveling in Africa and visiting new camps and lodges so that we can advise and describe the properties first hand rather than relying on internet-based research that may be out of date or self-promoting.
» Over the past 24 years we have built incredible relationships with our guides and can enhance your trip with the most sought-after guides on the continent!
