Jamaica has its own island vibe, which makes it a great place to focus on for travel. As a Jamaica travel agent specialist and advisor, I know you’ll love your island adventure. Therefore, I’m always excited about arranging travel to this one-of-a-kind Caribbean island locale. Like all Caribbean islands, Jamaica boasts a beautiful geography with mountains, rainforests, and beaches with coral reefs. The majority of its all-inclusive resorts are concentrated in Negril, which is well-known for its diving and snorkeling spots, and Montego Bay, which is recognized for its British colonial architecture. The Bob Marley Museum, which honors the well-known reggae artist, is located in Kingston.  Jamaica is a stunning, vibrant country that offers much more than just palms and beaches. The island maintains an attitude - a personality  that is both resonant and receptive. It is a soulful land of vivid colors, magnetic rhythms, and unending creativity.  Away from the coast, there are stunning mountains and rivers, tumbling waterfalls, and savannah grasslands covered with cacti. There is undoubtedly plenty of white sand and an aqua sea to enjoy as well.  This lush natural setting serves as the backdrop to the island's interesting and rhythmic cultural past - exemplified in the island's exploding reggae scene. The past influences the island’s  forceful expression of its artwork and the strikingly distinctive flavors of its food as well.The odds of crime are quite slim, as the Jamaican government has invested millions to ensure that the island treats its tourists fairly. As the origin of the all-inclusive hotel, Jamaica has developed into a popular destination for travelers who wish to go directly from the airport to the beach without ever leaving their hotel grounds. However, if you want to venture off the resort grounds, I can help you do so, as the island is brimming with top-notch attractions. Eating and drinking are pleasures on the isle as well. You can enjoy Blue Mountain coffee and dishes, such as conch soup, and delicious foods sold at roadside stands. Feast on grilled lobster served up by the sea.The "big three" resorts of Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios account for the majority of tourism in Jamaica. Montego Bay is a bustling commercial city with a tourist strip lined with hotels, pubs, and restaurants, as well as groomed golf courses and luxurious all-inclusive resorts that dominate the coast to the east. Negril is younger, more laid-back, and has a long-standing reputation for an energetic nightlife. Its low-rise hotels are strung along magnificent white sand beaches and sit next to stunning cliffs and scenery. Ocho Rios, which epitomizes high-impact tourism, was designed and built in the 1960s - offering  the best combination of sun, sand, and sea. Its tourism industry is unquestionably robust, and you'll be close to a number of top sights, including the well-known Dunn's River waterfall.I know, as a Jamaica travel agent advisor, that the best way to experience Jamaica, is to plan a trip. Make it your goal to do so today. I can help you start planning the perfect holiday. Give me a call or email me now.

Luxury Safari Adventures Travel Agent Expert

Thinking of taking a luxury safari adventure? These trips are one of the most thrilling ways to see the natural wonders of Africa. Not only do you get to see incredible animals, but you also get to explore their natural habitats from the comfort of a private car or plane. As your luxury safari adventures travel agent advisor, I can make this trip happen. While there are many different options for planning a luxury safari trip, I can offer some general ideas to help you get started. Read on for insider information and tips on everything you need to know!

Research your options

Choosing the right safari travel agent professional is one of the most important aspects of planning your trip. That is where I can help. I can help book your trip and even guide you through the whole experience.  I can share my travel knowledge with you so you can make the right travel decisions. 

Selecting the right location

There are many different places in Africa where you can go on a luxury safari adventure. Although there are many different factors to consider when deciding where to go, location is certainly a large one.  When deciding on a location, it is important to keep in mind that the top safari destinations in Africa tend to be very popular. This means you may  have to book your trip some months in advance to get what you want.  Other places in Africa are less popular or are still relatively undiscovered by tourists. These places may not be as luxurious, but they also tend to be less expensive and less crowded. If you are looking for a more private experience, these tours may be a better fit for you.

Choosing your accommodation

You can choose to stay in safari lodges, tented camps, or even luxury tree houses - all of which offer something different. Luxury lodges are often located in large cities, near airports, or in areas where some animals are less likely to be seen.  Tented camps are frequently located in more remote areas and offer a more private experience. Tree houses provide a unique trip stay.  When choosing your accommodation, you will have to take many things into consideration. For example, how close is it to the areas where you want to go on safari?  How easy is it to get to these places? What kind of facilities does it have? How expensive is it? These are all important factors to think about when choosing your accommodation. As a travel agent professional, one of the tree house accommodations I recommend is the two-story Starbed Treehouses- which appear to float above the Zambezi River. They are close to spectacular Victoria Falls on private Kandahar Island. A luxury suite is featured on the lower tier and the upper deck features a “star” bed, plunge pool and sitting area. The tree house at the Victoria Falls River Lodge allows you to either sleep beneath the stars or in an air-conditioned suite. Regardless of where you choose to rest, you’ll see spectacular views of the Zambezi River.     

Booking your safari tours

When you are booking your safari tours, it is important to find the right balance between the number of activities you can do and how much time you spend in nature. Different people have different needs when it comes to booking tours.  Someone who is very interested in wildlife may want to go on tours that last all day and include very little downtime between activities. These tours tend to be very exciting, but they may not give you much time to go off on your own or rest and relax.  On the other hand, someone who doesn’t care as much about wildlife may prefer shorter tours with more free time in between activities. I can help you find the perfect tour - one that supports your travel needs and preferences.Be sure to bring these things with you

When you go on safari, be sure to bring a sturdier pair of shoes. Some people go on luxury safari adventures wearing sandals, flip flops, or open-toed shoes. While these may be okay for short walks, they aren’t proper footwear for many of the activities you may do during your trip. I also suggest you bring a good camera. In this case, don’t rely on your phone camera, as it won’t produce the type of spectacular pictures you’ll want to share. In addition, a water bottle is a must-have accessory. It can be easy to forget to drink enough water on your trip. This is especially true if you are out on tours where you aren’t drinking as much water as you should.

Conclusion

Let me introduce you to the wonders and sights of Africa. Call me today so you can plan the dream vacation of a lifetime.
