If Only launches expanded Southern Africa programme


Samantha Mayling


B2B operator If Only is offering travel agents the chance to win one of eight places on a Cape Town fam trip later this year to celebrate the launch of its Southern Africa brochure. Agents can also earn double


rewards with If Only’s loyalty scheme for bookings made by June 30. The Southern African


programme has been expanded “in response to overwhelming agent


demand” and offers itineraries across the region, with a particular emphasis on Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. The upmarket operator has


added more than 50 hotels and lodges, mostly five-star but also some boutique four-star “gems”. If Only’s regional sales team will


be distributing destination guides and branded collateral to agents. The 11-night Ultimate


Zimbabwe tour costs from £7,405, including international and internal


Cape Town


flights and transfers between lodges. Highlights include Victoria


Falls, Hwange National Park, Lake Kariba and Mana Pools National Park. Guests will stay at Batonka Guest Lodge, Hide Safari Camp, Changa Safari Camp and John’s Camp. The accommodation is on a fully-inclusive basis, except at Batonka Guest Lodge which is on a B&B basis. If Only general manager


Gordon McCreadie said: “Our tailor-made team are known for


their wealth of knowledge and expertise and have gone through extensive training for the launch. “We are excited that our team


will bring quotes and bookings for southern Africa to life with bespoke video itineraries tailored to each enquiry, showcasing the destination and hotels to which clients will be travelling, and which clients can watch again and again and share with friends.” ifonly.net/luxury-destinations/ africa
