		ABOUT AFRICAN TRAVEL

		Dear Traveler,

		After almost 33 years of offering Africa to the world traveler, I marvel at the dedication and commitment to Africa that our team demonstrates daily. Introducing the African experience to the discerning, who have "been there and done that", is a challenge that we approach with unmatched enthusiasm and emotion. Our connection to this magical destination is more than promoting tours, it is personal.

With this kind of passion we have developed programs like the "Sole of Africa", sending donated shoes to the children of Africa because we believe
in their potential as future business and government leaders. We have also taken steps to support Africa's environment and wildlife by planting trees and adopting a cheetah. If Africa's resources are not protected, this experience will be lost to future generations: an unforgivable consequence.

We welcome you to Africa and hope that you will embrace the destination,
its people, wildlife, and landscape as we have.

		Sincerely, David F. Herbert, CTC Managing Director and Founder
