Dear {{contact.first_name}}

Tomorrow is a very special day for me. I’ll be celebrating my birthday and a milestone that involves shopping for a wedding dress after getting engaged during my recent trip to Turkey (with Fez Travel).

Back to Africa! Our team is currently on the ground across East Africa. Paula and Jane are attending the APTA conference in Arusha, and afterwards Paula will be exploring the awesome Karibu Camps and Lodges in Tanzania. Meanwhile, Clarke is connecting with Jane at the stunning Mara Siana Camp in Kenya to ensure we're bringing you the very best safari experiences. 

As we transition into shoulder season, we're excited to share that many of our Africa partners have last-minute availability for November and the holiday season – perfect timing for those spontaneous Africa dreams or holiday getaways. 


Make sure to check out where the Emerging Destinations team is visiting this fall and let us know if you’ll be able to catch us in any of those destinations. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing you in person somewhere soon!

Warm regards,

Jenna and Emerging Destinations Team
