Thousands Of Travellers To Africa Get A New Resource - AfricaPoint.net

Online, January 26, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Leading Africa travel information website gets fresh new corporate look

Nairobi, Kenya, January 7, 2010 - Africa Point Ltd., one of the leading travel agents in Africa, has launched its newly redesigned travel website - www.africapoint.net.

Containing a wealth of information on various safari destinations and accommodations in Africa, www.africapoint.net is a must for everyone looking to go on safari to the vast African continent. The new and improved features of the website include a navigation bar that ensures visitors can quickly find exactly what they are looking for; and an improved Search tool that allows searchers to find key information with ease.

Sam Maina, Editor-in-Chief of Africa Point publications, says, "We are very excited to have such a user-friendly website. Africapoint.net is invaluable for tourists planning to go on safari to Africa and we are so proud to be a part of it."

Following months of development, this new enhanced website look is an essential step by the company to make it easy for tourists to plan their African safari. The website is broken down into multiple categories ranging from Travel Planning to Destinations and Accommodation, with each category offering detailed information about various tourists' destinations.

"Our primary goal is to help tourists in finding the information they need, and our 'Travel FAQs' section exemplifies this. The answers give the potential visitor a chance to learn more about issues that are not usually covered in most travel websites or magazines. This section, like the entire website, is constantly updated," says Maina.

The re-launching comes barely six months after the travel agent launched its newly redesigned corporate website -www.africapoint.com. The completely redesigned website offers innovative direct booking engine, advanced search tool, as well as customer focused content.

According to the Business Development Manager of Africa Point Ltd., Mr Ashiembi wa Ndukwe, the functionality of www.africapoint.com 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.
