Acacia Africa has been named by the British Travel Awards (BTAs) as one of the contenders for the Best Escorted Adventure Holiday Company award. 

 

An adventure specialist, Acacia Africa has offices in London and South Africa, the tour operator’s portfolio of over 100 budget led safaris incorporating, Overland Tours, Accommodated Overland, Small Group Safaris and Voluntours.

 

Arno Delport, Sales & Marketing Manager at Acacia Africa comments, "We have been offering overland tours to southern and eastern Africa for almost two decades, our latest brochure including a brand new portfolio of accommodated overland expeditions suitable for families and travellers seeking more comfort out on the road.  Earlier this year we also introduced some exciting changes to our small group safaris, and after receiving positive feedback from our customers we're confident they will get behind our nomination and vote for us."

 

BTA’s chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton said: “Acacia Africa is to be congratulated on reaching the voting stage of the prestigious British Travel Awards, the largest consumer voted awards programme in the UK. The BTAs winning accolade is the benchmark for excellence when it comes to finding out who really is the best in the business of travel for the UK consumer. There are more companies in the competition than ever before, and some great vote-incentive prizes for consumers. We will be promoting the voting period to over seven million potential voters via our media partnerships and direct email campaigns to previous voters and this year we are expecting a record number of votes, so good luck to Acacia Africa." 

 

The winners will be the companies with the most votes - in 2013 over one million votes were cast with the voting process and results scrutinized and audited by independent auditors Deloitte LLP. The winners of the 2014 British Travel Awards will be announced at a glittering ceremony on 26 November at the Battersea Evolution in Battersea Park, London.
