Hiya,
I've had a week totally focused on Africa.
All week, I attended a virtual trade show with OurAfrica. Travel, in partnership with ATTA.
It was a productive, fun and interactive show over the week, that had me arising early (often 5 am, to account for the 7 hour time change so I could get some meetings in), and working late in the evening. I was exhausted, but so happy to be a part of the OurAfrica.Travel community. It was a great show. Here's a little sample of what the organizers put together https://youtu.be/-rqMkaZ0LBw .
I met with hand-picked experts from South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Morocco, Indian Ocean islands, and more.
What an inspiring week to be talking in real time to my partners in Africa. Sure, we had to deal with some lode-shedding issues in South Africa (abruptly scheduled power outages), and some troublesome internet quirks in some bush camps, but it was a wonderful show.
I am full of energy, have strengthened existing relationships, and made new friends. And I have some great new ideas for travelling around South Africa and East Africa especially.

AMA Waterways - Seven Rivers goes on Sale this Week
Did you miss my presentation this past Tuesday? We talked all about AMA's wonderful river cruise product, and previewed AMA's new 'trip of a lifetime' experience with their new "7 Rivers" experience for June 2023, and clients.
Let me know if you'd like to sail the Seven Rivers. It goes on sale on the 15th, and is expected to both sell out quickly, and have a second date added. But I can get you on the list to be the first people to have access to this fantastic 46 night river cruise extravaganza over 7 rivers, 14 countries, on 4 AMA ships.

Northwest Territories - Northern Lights - 2022
|
|
Want to take in the Northern Lights in Northwest Territories with re-known Canadian wildlife photographer, Dr. Wayne Lynch?
My western colleague, Kim, had to reschedule the 2021 trip to March 2022. And that first week sold so briskly, she's added a 2nd and a 3rd week.
So, we've added a second week - kindly note the 2nd departure for March 24-29, 2022. and another March 30, 2022.
I now have pricing reconfirmed for 2022. Let me know if you're interested.
Kim and Wayne have designed the trip to align around the time of the Equinox to see the Northern Lights in Yellowknife (one of the top 3 places in the world to see Northern Lights). The photographer she is working with is a well-known Canadian wildlife specialist too, Dr. Wayne Lynch. http://waynelynch.ca/welcome.html
Pricing for 6d, 5n is about $3600 Cdn/p for double and about $3900 Cdn for solo (excluding air, meals; including 3 Northern Lights Aurora viewing outings and some other special things). A winter gear package is available.
Let me know if you're interested.
