“We have deep roots in the continent and that makes Africa personal to us. Our entire team is honored and excited to have been chosen in Departures' first ever editor picked awards.  Ensuring our guests have extraordinary safari experiences and immersive cultural encounters is first and foremost” said Sherwin Banda, president of African Travel, Inc.  “For every booking made with us, we support the education of a child in East Africa and contribute to the local economy.”
