Time of Year:

… there’s a saying that goes: Africa is an all-year-round travel destination.
But there are a few added bonuses to consider when scheduling your trip.
(we’ll get into them a bit more in the next blog post)

Tour Operator:

Acacia Africa is BONDED with ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents) and is FINANCIALLY BONDED to ensure your money is 100% PROTECTED.

Booking with a well established and FINANCIALLY ABTA BONDED tour operator – like Acacia – provides you with the security and peace of mind that your dream holiday will operate to the highest standards and your payments to Acacia will be PROTECTED in the event of financial failure (no matter where you book from).
