Visit us at IMEX
Visit us at IMEX on 24, 25 and 26 May 2011 at the South Afrian Pavillion, Stand C 305. The trademark of our tailor-made tours in Southern Africa is the constant development of new travel routes to unspoilt regions, in which pristine nature and cultures can still be experienced. Itineraries away from well-travelled paths as well as social responsibility, which guarantees sustainability and enables contact to the local people are part of our travel concept. We support the local communities in their role as hosts and assist them in their initiatives and business ventures. On the reverse, our guests are afforded the opportunity to get a really close insight into an authentic Southern Africa. Book your appointment online via the IMEX Website or e-mail us on christine@terra-nova.co.za
