Backpacking tourists taking holidays in Africa have been offered a discount on small group safari holidays from Acacia Adventure Holidays.
Buy-one-get-one free deals are being offered on all overland tours starting before July 1st 2008.
Unfortunately however, budget travelers will need to get their act together quickly as all bookings need to be made before the end of April.
Safari tourism is becoming increasingly popular in Africa, seen by many travlers as an eco-friendly alternative to zoos and enclosed animal parks in their own countries.
Conservation and ecotourism is on the rise in some places like South Africa too, where birding routes are becoming a rising source of revenue.
However, in some African countries, such as Namibia, the safari tour industry is marred by a sizeable big game hunting industry.
Rare and protected species such as elephant, lion and tiger may be off limits, but other animals such as oryx, kudu and springbok are very popular among tourist hunters, reports New Era.
