Magic Globe, the tour operator specialising in tailor-made travel to South America and Africa, announces the launch of its 2006 Africa & Indian Ocean brochure. The brochure features an extensive collection of exclusive holidays to Africa and the Indian Ocean, with destinations including Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique, Malawi, Mauritius and the Seychelles.
Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Magic Globe works with each individual customer to create a bespoke itinerary for the customer�s dream holiday in Africa or the Indian Ocean, combining the best elements of each country � from the mystical coloured sands of Namibia to the romantic islands of the Indian Ocean; the world-class spas and winelands of South Africa; the mighty Victoria Falls of Zambia; the wonder of Lake Malawi; the rugged, unspoilt wilderness of Botswana; the remote luxury of Mozambique to the classic game lodges of Kenya and Tanzania, harking back to Africa of years gone by.
Highlights of the new brochure include:
� Vamizi Island Lodge, Mozambique: Vamizi Island Lodge, which opened in December 2005, is an exquisite five-star resort, where a handful of guests can step out of beautifully appointed beach villas into a world of powder sands, virginal reefs and secret coves. Built at the end of a 12km beach, each of the 12 self-contained cottages has a spacious living room, a spectacular bathroom and breezy veranda. The cottages are spaced a good distance apart to offer plenty of privacy and have a footpath leading from the veranda down to the beach. For the active, Vamizi offers snorkelling, diving, big game fishing, saltwater fly-fishing, mountain bike trails, birdwalks, dhow cruises and private picnics. Vamizi epitomises uncompromising quality with understated elegance - barefoot luxury at its best. Prices from �2,650 for 7 nights on a fully-inclusive basis, including flights from London via Johannesburg*
� Serra Cafema Camp, Namibia: Serra Cafema Camp is one of the most remote camps in all of Southern Africa and offers one of the most memorable experiences in Namibia. The small 16-bedded camp, which only has access by aircraft, is located in the extreme north-west of Namibia and is further away from Namibia�s capital city, Windhoek, than from Botswana�s Okavango Delta. Serra Cafema shares this region with the wonderful and colourful Himba people, who are some of the last true nomadic people of Africa. The Kunene River is the only permanent source of water and creates an oasis along its banks surrounded by rugged mountains and sand dunes. Prices from �2,890 for 5 nights on a fully-inclusive basis, including flights from London
� Kasaka River Lodge, Zambia: Kasaka River Lodge has an exceptional location on the banks of the great Zambezi River. The Lodge is situated in a natural bush environment with each chalet secluded amongst the native flora.
