Now its South African Airways for Zambia Safaris

South African Airways (SAA) is setting up an office in Zambia. A Zambian country manager who knows Zambia safaris and tourism will run it. It will be officially opened in two months time.

SAA are keen to get a 'piece of the pie' in the expanding tourism industry in Zambia. This is good news to Zambia safaris and the safari operators too. It’s also a real big short in the arm for the "Visit Zambia 2005" campaign.

SAA is a large carrier with many passenger airliners. And Zambia has no airline of her own. But now Zambia has a good chance to use an already established airline, and a big one too, to boost her tourism potential. It will be easier to travel to and from Zambia.

This arrangement will enable SAA to fly from Zambia to many destinations in the world …and fly back with many a safari enthusiast and tourist. Tour packages into Zambia will be easier to organise.

Khaya Ngqula the CEO of SAA says, "we want to integrate ourselves in the Zambian tourism sector and so far we have put up packages with the Sun International and other tour operators that will formally link the country to the regional tourism industry."

Beginning July 1 SAA will increase the number of flights into Livingstone to three per week. Do you remember Livingstone? It’s the home of the Victoria Falls and the Southern Africa’s Adventure Center. Discover why Zambia is considered Africa's best-kept secret.
