Pristine Botswana, with its policy of low impact tourism and high value conservation programs, is Africa at its finest. It is, however, pricey. For those who’ve yearned to experience the Okavango Delta, Goway is offering savings of up to $1600 on an 8 night itinerary.

“Our itinerary includes 6 nights in two different parts of the Delta and 2 nights in Livingstone. For those with time constraints it’s perfect as a stand alone itinerary and also ideal as an extension to a South Africa vacation.” said Moira Smith General Manager for AFRICAExperts by Goway.

Summer is a special time in Africa. It is the time when there is a kaleidoscope of colour with rich landscapes, an explosion of new life with many species giving birth to their young and a myriad bird species to be seen. These mostly exclusive safari areas continue to offer frequent predator sightings as they take advantage of the glut of inexperienced, younger prey. Dramatic summer skies and a tapestry of green exploding with seasonal abundance provide ideal photographic opportunities of an endless assortment of subjects.

At CA$3860 the special includes 2 nights at Toka Leya in Livingstone, 3 nights at the Linyanti Discoverer Camp, 3 nights at Xigera camp, intercamp air transfers, all meals, camp activities, local drinks and laundry.

Goway’s 2011 Africa and Middle East travel planner has just been launched. One of the exciting and innovative products featured is Goway’s first small group guaranteed departure program to Israel. “We recognised the demand for a tour which offers all the advantages of a small group, whilst staying in first or deluxe accommodation and seeing all the must see sights” said Moira Smith, General Manager for Goway’s AFRICAExperts.

In addition to the classical tourist sites such as Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, Caesarea, Acre and the Sea of Galilee, this 8 day/7night program some exclusive features. These include:

• Artists sites in Tel-Aviv like The Nachum Gutman Museum and Dani Karavan’s environmental sculpture the “White Square”.
• The desert in the Negev
• The ancient city of Tel Be’er Sheva, a World Heritage Unesco Site.
• A visit to a unique and unusual local spice market to enjoy the rich aroma of Israeli tastes and flavors.

Goway’s Treasures of Israel program starts from CA$1820. This includes 7 nights accommodation, breakfast and dinners, all sight seeing, an English speaking guide and luxury air conditioned vehicle.

One of the best times to visit Tunisia is in the Autumn and Goway has negotiated excellent rates on their popular Tunisia Explorer.

“This all-encompassing experience combines the beach, a safari in the desert, Roman history, culture, and shopping in souks almost unchanged since the 19th Century” said Moira Smith, General Manager Goway AFRICAExperts. “We are now offering this great itinerary for just $1820 including roundtrip flights from Toronto to Tunis” (US$1603 including return flights from New York to Tunis)

The beauty of Tunisia lies in its fine mix of European and Middle Eastern culture with rich history and scenic views. Some of the most famous tourist spots in Tunisia are Carthage, which is known in world history as the metropolis razed by the Romans; Douz, a town located at Sahara’s edge where tourists can enjoy a camel ride and El Jan, one of the world’s most preserved Roman amphitheaters. Tunisia is also where movies such as ‘Star Wars’, ‘The English Patient’ and ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ were filmed.

With its Mediterranean climate and excellent beaches, a beach extension is highly recommended.
