South Africa to be showcased on Chilean TV

Expan Tours, one of Chile’s leading outbound tour operators plans to go big with its promotion of South Africa in the coming year, with a 13-part travel series to be aired on Chilean TV. In September, while working for Tours and Trails / Wilderness Safaris, I spent a week with Eugenio Cox, General Manager of Expan Tours, well-known radio personality, photographer and super-diva, Maria Gracia Subercaseaux and über-camerma Yura Labarca as they kicked off a 40-day epic voyage which criss-crossed southern Africa, ending in the Seychelles. It was a week of wining, dining, filming, driving and fun as we covered the Cape.

If you can read Spanish, take a look at Eugenio’s blog of the trip. You don’t have to be able to read anything to appreciate Maria Gracia’s photographs…. and for YouTube fans, check out one of Yura’s short movies…
