Heath Ashcroft, Marketing Director at Acacia Africa, comments: “Are you pondering over pony trekking through Lesotho, volunteering in South Africa or swimming with elephants in Zimbabwe? Now you can journey through Africa on the Internet, our “Go Wild Online” campaign featuring a selection of amazing African encounters across Twitter, Facebook and our blog. Whether you want to research, converse or get actively involved in the adventure buzz, the choice is yours. There will also be a major prize giveaway and a discount voucher up for grabs, so dust off that backpack if you’re feeling lucky and click on over to our blog.”

Looking to find out more? Here are three ways to “Go Wild Online” with Acacia Africa…

The Wild Bunch: Adventurers with a burning question on the continent can tweet with their own personal Africa guru, courtesy of  “The Wild Bunch”. Carefully selected from the tour operator’s team and chosen for their total and unwavering addiction to the most adventurous continent on the planet, the aptly named experts are bound to have a few insider tips from the road.  Travellers can tweet Acacia Africa’s pundits putting #AcaciaWildBunch? ahead of their tweet. Starting in February, the Acacia Wild Bunch will also be showcasing some of the less predictable options in Africa.

Going beyond the tried and tested pursuits, they’ll leave you with some inspiring ideas, so you can book that once in a lifetime “rave reservation” on the continent.

You can also vote for your favourite options, which will be featured under our new “Go Wild For Africa…” Facebook photo album, or add your own experiences into the mix.

So, if you’re a dare devil when it comes to adrenaline or a adventurer who likes to do things differently then feel free to mosey on down to our Facebook page and share some of your more out there pursuits and pix…

Going In Search Of The South Africa “Wild Tweep”: Acacia is aware that there are plenty of Africa addicts out there, so rather than do all the tweeting, they’ll be asking one adventurer to pitch in and join the team on a virtual journey through South Africa. You can now apply to be Acacia Africa’s “Wild Tweep,” the lucky winner walking away with a 6-day African Insight overland safari (http://bit.ly/4Z1tyD). Entrants will need to complete a brief Q&A (available on the Acacia Africa Facebook page and blog) and confirm their participation in a 20 minute “tweet up” to be held on Acacia Africa’s twitter page on Friday 26 February from 13:00 to 13:20 GMT. The “Wild Tweep’s” mission to share their love of the Rainbow Nation and answer questions on South Africa from the tour operator’s tweeps. Completed Q&As, should be emailed to gowildonline@acacia-africa.com
