Saga releases four brochures for ‘hungry to travel’ clients


Samantha Mayling


Over-50s specialist Saga has unveiled four 2021-22 brochures, offering new holidays in Turkey, Italy and Africa. The brochures cover the UK and Ireland; Europe


and the Mediterranean; long-haul holidays in the Travellers World range; and river cruises. The Travellers World programme has been extended


to cover the whole of 2022 as long-haul travellers are booking further in advance than those looking for short-haul tours, according to Saga. The Best of Kenya & Tanzania: Great Migration


& Big Game Safari costs from £3,999, based on two sharing. The 12-night escorted tour includes flights, insurance and game drives in Amboseli National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve. A nine-night Gorillas of Uganda escorted tour costs from £4,399, based on two sharing. It features the


chance to see wild mountain gorillas in Bwindi National Park and chimpanzees in Kibale National Park. It includes flights and insurance. Chris Simmonds, Saga Holidays’ chief executive,


said mature holidaymakers are “hungry to travel”. “Older customers were the first hit but they will


be the first to get the vaccinations; there is a sense of optimism,” he said. ITV’s new travel show, South Africa with Gregg


Wallace, is sponsored by Saga and is prompting enquiries for late 2021 and 2022. Long-term stays are proving popular for next winter


and many clients are considering once-in-a-lifetime trips to destinations such as Uzbekistan and Uganda. Simmonds highlighted Saga’s ‘Reassurance Promise’,


which features insurance and flexible cancellation cover, which includes protection against Covid cancellations. Saga has extended its free amendment policy to 60


days before departure if customers book by February 28. travel.saga.co.uk
