Travel agent in Africa?
I'm trying to book a trip for my boss and she needs an English-speaking travel agent in Africa pretty quick. I was hoping you well-traveled Nesties might be able to help. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
Re: Travel agent in Africa?
There a 54 countries in Africa. There is a very good chance that an English speaking travel agent in Lagos will be of no use to you. What do you actually need to book and in what countries?
I've been to all but one of those countries and have at the most used a US-based travel agent. And that was only because it's a corporate requirement.
Is she planning to fly between all these places? Is she booking a Douala-Cotonou-Ouaga--Lome--Yaounde-Accra itinerary or something? In that case, yeah I'd want an agent.
But Accra-Lome-Cotonou is done really easily by road. Those cities are practically on top of one another.
Ouaga is a bit tougher, but Air France definitely flies there, so you could do US-Ouaga on AF, then book a local carrier (Air Burkina or Antrak?) to Accra, go by road to Lome and Cotonou and then take a regional carrier either from Accra or even Lagos to Douala or Yaounde since driving across the entirety of Nigeria is not something I'd recommend.
I'd call a US based travel agent and get them to run some itineraries. Unless she's trying to fly from say Garoua to Gorom-Gorom I don't understand why you'd need a local agent. And in that case you woudn't want one anyway because there aren't any commercial flights between those destinations!
told by who? A company rule? Having travelled to Ghana we didn't need anyone to purchase our tickets,etc. worked the same as any other country. Maybe for flying between the countries within Africa might be a bit harder, but still totally doable.
God I miss Ghana..
