THE LUXURY EQUATION: ORIENT-EXPRESS AFRICA

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).
