Twin Centre Holidays are the term we use to describe a holiday which will have two or more components to it, for example to have a safari and a beach holiday in one. These holidays are growing in popularity and Africa lends itself to providing a diversity of experiences in one trip.
Honeymooners in particular are drawn to twin centre safari and beach honeymoons which combine an action packed safari or city break with perhaps a week spent on a nearby beach to relax and soak up the sun. Twin Centre Holidays also suit families because parents can add to the yearly beach holiday with an educational and fun cultural and wildlife experience.
We often find that there are a few regions or attractions which people wish to combine but these may fall within the boundaries of two or three countries. An example of this would be guests who wanted to see Cape Town in South Africa, Victoria Falls in Zambia and experience a safari in Botswana.
We will help and advise you on logistics and the merits of trying to include a variety of features within one trip. See below for some example twin centre Africa and Indian Ocean holidays:
