Online, November 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Africa Point has launched a new website to further enhance the user experience of online travel shoppers

Nairobi, Kenya, November 06, 2009 - In effort to enhance the user experience of online travel shoppers, Africa Point- an online travel agent that offers travel bookings for 13 African destinations has launched a new innovative website.

The completely redesigned http://www.africapoint.com is sure to become the 'must-visit' web portal before planning your next safari to Africa. The recently launched website offers innovative direct booking engine, advanced search tool, as well as customer focused content.

According to the company's Business Development Manager, Mr Ashiembi wa Ndukwe, the functionality of the website has been improved to make it easier for clients to book and pay directly by submitting their credit card details. Mr Ndukwe adds that the new website's advanced search tool allows online travel shoppers to search for tours in specific African countries by length of the tours and hotels by star classification.

"Our new design represents a departure from ordinary travel agency where you shop online but pay offline. We have enhanced the functionality that we already had, making it possible for our clients pay directly on the website - avoiding the tedious back and forth email correspondence which is the norm with most travel agents," says Mr Ndukwe.

The redesigned www.africapoint.com offers detailed information on Africa, including destination reviews, popular tours and safaris, flights, rental cars, and more. The website also boasts a strategically placed navigation bar that ensures travellers can quickly find exactly what they are looking for.

"While designing the new website we took into consideration the information needs of our website visitors, hence we published a lot of destination-specific content and also integrated the website with our content-rich blog," Mr Ashiembi added.

The website is being received well by online travel shoppers and Mr Ashiembi says that more improvement is underway based on customer feedback.
