The Bromley-based operator specialised in Nile cruises, Indian Ocean cruises and safaris as well as a small ocean cruise ship that it operated offering its own cruises.

Customers have been warned that there will be no more outbound African Safari Club flights and therefore any tickets already purchased will no longer be valid.
