TORONTO — With African Travel, Inc.’s new Advisor Educational Program, Canadian travel advisors can not only learn about Africa’s top destinations but also visit them in person.

The 2021 program, featuring trips to Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa, was created to reflect emerging trends this year, including single-country exploration and flexibility in planning and travelling. With the program, advisors and their travel companion can both take advantage of the same low price, plus those interested in travelling to East African can bring along another couple.
