TORONTO — African Travel, Inc. is launching a brand new escorted tour style for 2025.
‘Concierge Safaris’ includes a dedicated travelling concierge who will accompany groups throughout their entire journey. From the moment guests arrive in Africa to their final farewell, the expert concierge will handle all the trip logistics, address any requests and ensure a seamless adventure.

To celebrate the launch of ‘Concierge Safaris,’ African Travel is offering travel advisors a $300 digital gift card incentive for every couple booked on their escorted safaris before March 31, 2025. The offer applies to new bookings of Escorted Vacations only. A non-refundable deposit must be made between Dec. 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025, for bookings travelling in 2025. The incentive is based on $150 per traveller and is provided as a digital gift card issued in the name of the travel advisor the month following the deposit.
“We are thrilled to launch our new 2025 Concierge Safaris, ideal for clients seeking a luxury guided experience in an intimate small group, with expert support throughout their journey. With a maximum of just 14 guests per tour, these escorted adventures provide a personal exploration of Africa’s rich history, culture and incredible wildlife,” says Sherwin Banda, President of African Travel, Inc. “By adding escorted vacations to our offerings, we are now able to cater to every travel style, whether it’s a tailor-made safari, a small group locally-hosted journey, or a fully-escorted vacation.”
The new trip style offers a U.S.-based Travelling Concierge, luxury accommodations throughout, most meals including dining experiences, exclusive game viewing, sightseeing activities and all gratuities included. In addition to the concierge, clients are accompanied by local guides at each destination who will share insights into the region’s landscapes, cultures and wildlife.
