African Travel, Inc. has launched a new escorted tour style for 2025, introducing Concierge Safaris designed to provide travelers with a comprehensive, high-touch journey across Africa. The luxury safari outfitter will now offer tours with a dedicated U.S.-based traveling concierge who accompanies guests throughout their entire trip. And, to celebrate the launch, African Travel is offering travel advisors a $300 digital gift card incentive for every couple booked on the escorted safaris before March 31, 2025.

The new tour style features small-group experiences limited to 14 guests, with comprehensive packages that include luxury accommodations, most meals, exclusive game viewing, sightseeing activities and all gratuities. Local guides will also accompany travelers at each destination, providing insights into the region's landscapes, wildlife and cultures.

"We are thrilled to launch our new 2025 Concierge Safaris, ideal for clients seeking a luxury guided experience in an intimate small group, with expert support throughout their journey," said Sherwin Banda, president of African Travel, Inc. "By adding escorted vacations to our offerings, we are now able to cater to every travel style — whether it's a tailor-made safari, a small-group locally hosted journey or a fully escorted vacation."

The launch includes two initial itineraries: the 11-day Southern Explorer – Escorted and the 11-day Best of Tanzania – Escorted. The Southern Explorer tour will take guests to Cape Town, a private Kruger reserve and Victoria Falls, featuring unique experiences such as a 14-course dining event at Gold Restaurant and a food safari in Cape Town.
