BOOKING YOUR FLIGHTS:  

  • African Portfolio will book internal charter flights (scheduled or private) in conjunction with your safari as described in your online itinerary.
  • Clients are welcome to make flight arrangements independently; our safari consultants can advise the required flight sectors and times to coordinate with your land arrangements.
  • If you prefer the assistance of a specialist, we would refer you to Corporate Traveler, who are part of Flight Centre Travel Group, one of the world’s largest travel companies.  They offer reliable and responsive customer service, through a dedicated team so you’ll work with someone that knows you and your air travel preferences.   Their dedicated travel manager will also be in communication with us to ensure all your scheduled flights coordinate well with your land arrangements and internal flights.

 

Rwanda

The first thing that springs to most people’s minds when thinking of Rwanda is its turbulent political history. But today’s Rwanda is a far cry from the nation it was in the mid-90s: the country has emerged from the shadows and has much to offer visitors, most notably the tracking of endangered mountain gorillas in the lush Virunga National Park, which extends across the peaks and jungle-covered slopes of the volcanic Virunga Mountains. Other major tourist attractions include expansive Lake Kivu, ancient Nyungwe Forest with its rich population of primate species, and the game-rich savannah lands of Akagera National Park.
