G Adventures has partnered with Channel 9 on a dedicated Tanzania episode of Travel Guides, launching two new itineraries inspired by experiences featured in the program.
Set to air nationally tonight, episode follows the Travel Guides cast through Tanzania as they showcase G Adventures’ signature community tourism philosophy alongside a range of wildlife and cultural experiences.
The collaboration is expected to drive increased bookings and create new sales opportunities for travel agents through national consumer exposure, dedicated marketing support and the launch of two new bookable itineraries allowing travellers to experience all of the activities featured in the program.
The new 12-day ‘Serengeti Safari & Zanzibar’ takes guests from Arusha to Stone Town. Here, travellers will share lunch with local women and visit the Clean Cookstove Project, both Planeterra community tourism projects. The itinerary also includes visits to local markets in the Tanzanian community of Mto wa Mbu and safari drives through Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park.
Joining G Adventures’ Geluxe Collection, the 10-day ‘Tanzania & Zanzibar: The Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & Island Shores’ combines premium active adventure with luxurious accommodation. Guests embark on safari drives through Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park on their journey from Arusha to Stone Town. A choice of additional wildlife, biking, walking or cultural experiences are available along the way, as well as a two-night stay at the intimate Serengeti Tortillis Camps.
“Witnessing once-in-a-lifetime safari encounters and the welcoming hospitality of East African communities and cultures remains one of the world’s most transformational travel experiences,” G Adventures regional marketing manager Adelle Clements said.
“Africa continues to be one of the fastest-growing long-haul destinations for Australian travellers. This is the largest investment we’ve made in showcasing the region to Aussies and gives agents a unique opportunity to convert national consumer inspiration into bookings through two new itineraries.”
