THE LUXURY EQUATION: ORIENT-EXPRESS AFRICA

11-17-2009

 

 

 

 

A Breakdown of Complimentary Enrichments for this Trip-of-a-Lifetime

 

For many, a trip to Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, particularly due to the sometimes overwhelming costs and time involved in planning such an extensive vacation.  While spartan accommodations at low rates seem to be a feasible way to attain such a dream vacation, sacrificing amenities does not do much to alleviate the individual costs and concerns associated with navigating an unfamiliar country. Orient-Express’ property portfolio includes three unique safari camps that deliver extraordinary experiences alongside cost-saving luxury enhancements.

 

The three safari camps are each located in unique eco systems which offer travelers a variety of safari experiences. It is these contrasting safari experiences that make Botswana amongst the best safari locations in Africa, all the while done in a truly authentic and natural camp type setting.  The countless standard inclusions offered at each property provide services, amenities and custom offers that help to curtail unexpected a la carte travel costs and maximize the travel experience.  Each camp offers safaris that are attainable, enjoyable and the guarantee that hard-earned dollars are getting maximum yield. 

 

Complimentary amenities at all three Safari Camps include:

  • Mini-bars in each luxury tent stocked with water, soft drinks and additional refreshments upon guests’ request
  • All meals from early morning breakfast and sumptuous brunches, to afternoon tea and elegant dinners
  • All beverages
  • Game drives, walks and Mekoro rides (traditional boats used in the Delta for centuries) personally led by knowledgeable guides
  • Complimentary personalized luggage tags, safari bags, guide books and leather bound keepsake folders (when booked directly through Orient-Express)
  • Laundry services
  • Internet access
  • Complimentary 45-minute helicopter safari at Eagle Island Camp (from now until December 2010, and from March 2010 onwards) and Khwai River Lodge (from January 2010 - March 2010).

 

 

Khwai River Lodge is situated on the banks of the Khwai River, adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve and in the periphery of the Okavango Delta.  Hippos, elephants, lions, leopards, antelopes and abundant birdlife live in the area surrounding the camp. There are 15 luxurious thatched tents, each featuring a shaded deck with a hammock and comfortable chairs facing the Khwai River. The tents are fitted with modern conveniences, including air-conditioning and mini-bars. Guests can also enjoy the following inclusions:
