Expect a big announcement by one of the better known African tourism industry companies by mid-September. May be of special interest to atravelynn. I could say more but they would have to kill me.

atravelynn

If you email me directly, with a hint, would they still have to kill you?

Jed

Now you did it! How am I going to sleep at night?

jgardner

this isn't much of an announcement, now is it? you can't say what it is, who it affects, so why post?

I would not wish to second guess Tuckegs motives, but perhaps fun might be one of them.

Jed

That's it! We Fodorites are very serious about having fun.

atravelynn

Tuckeg? Tuckeg?

Looks like they killed him.

Beginning of the announcements (and end of CCAfrica):

O-M-G!!! So important!!! I'm sure the world will be a better place for this from CC Africa ;-)

ps - actually heard about this a month ago from the CC Africa camp I was just at, Ngala. I gave a big ho-hum and yawn.

Tanky

Do the local children and neighbours call you Victor Meldrew?

tuckeg

Well Tom, since you know all about it, I'll let you tell the board what else is coming.

cary999

Tanky- "Victor Meldrew", had to google that one. Yep, that's me Suppose that's better name than "the old f@rt next door" !!!!

tuckeg - what I heard at Ngala was what the above referenced announcement says. To quote the last bit of it - "Our new name will be unveiled on 30 October, so please keep an eye on your inbox for our exciting news." Yeah, so they are changing their name. Excuse me, but I fail to feel the excitement in a name change. Guess I'm back to to what Tanky above says

I urge everyone here to read the referenced CC Africa announcement and tell us how excited they feel about it.

regards - tom
ps - Like I alway say - "call me anything, but don't call me late for lunch!!!"

I was excited by the move into Latin America.

cary999

Will agree they need a name change when branching into India and Latin America. Hmmm, maybe they will take over the Club Med "camps" in Latin America? You heard it here first

napamatt_2,

I too thought that was an interesting development and am keen to see where the lodges are located.

Cheers,

I'm just glad there has been no bloodshed. Of course it's not Oct 30, yet.

Femi

Wow! Locations in Latin America would be so cool! Fewer frequent flyer miles burned.

Didn't even get it stirring....

Hopefully CCA will have more operations in South India in addition to the Tiger Circuit in Madhya Pradesh.

I will be curious to see what the Great Plains folks come up with for India .......
