New Year Deal & Price Structure for 2012
• 5% New Year Discount on selected 2012 trips
• Flights booked locally on overland adventures
• Innovative Cashback Scheme as bookings grow
OZBUS Tours have announced a new year discount, as well as a fresh pricing structure for 2012 which provides YOU with the opportunity to spread payments and take advantage of any local savings, as well as providing extra security.
In addition, passengers can also benefit from our innovative Cashback Scheme, which rewards passengers as numbers grow on their trip.
To kick off the new year, we have introduced a 5% discount on trip prices for selected overland adventures - London to Sydney, London to Kathmandu, Bangkok to Sydney (and the journeys in the opposite direction) plus the 2012 Sydney to London Olympic Special.
Under the Cashback Scheme, once we have reached 12 passengers on each London to Sydney/Sydney to London departure (including shorter sections), every additional booking will earn a £25 refund** for each person on that trip - 20 people on the trip equals a £200 cashback reward for EACH PERSON.
For London to New York/London to Beijing, the refund is £25 for every TWO extra bookings over 12.
> January Booking Offer - Up to 30% off selected departures for African safaris
The new price structure covers OzBus Tours-operated overland adventures where flights may be necessary (there are no flights on London to New York, London to Beijing or our trips to Africa, South America and Down Under).
Flights are NOT included in the trip price payable to OzBus Tours, but payable en route - giving you access to the best deals.
We have given an estimated price for the flights on each route.
This new pricing structure has several advantages for YOU:
- Spreading Payments: Each OzBus Overland
adventure is payable in three instalments - a deposit (10% of the
trip price) and two even payments of the balance (due 14 and eight
weeks before departure). The flight cost adds extra instalment(s)
to help you budget and lowers the cost payable before
departure.
NB: Early bookings may be able to spread payments over a series of smaller payments. Contact us for details. - Getting The Best Deal: Our estimated price for the flights is based on experience of running previous OzBus trips. Obviously airline prices go up and down, but our local operators will have access to the best deals to provide added flexibility to save you money.
The trips included by the offers and the new pricing structure are:
London to Sydney
Trip Price £5,539 (Comfort Upgrade
£500)
Estimated price of flights £630
Sydney to London
Trip Price £5,349 (Comfort Upgrade £500)

London to New York 2013
WE are delighted to announce the dates for the historic OzBus Tours London to New York overland trip in 2013.
The trip will leave London on March 20, arriving in New York on June 19 - a journey of 92 days which matches the inaugural 2010 trip as the longest version of this unique travel experience.
The cost has yet to be confirmed, but places can be booked with a deposit (£800) based on the 2012 price of £7,999. Places are limited and already being snapped up so we advise booking or expressing an interest (provisional places can be booked) as soon as possible.

IRAN
OzBUS Tours' London to Sydney and London to Kathmandu adventures are both due to visit western Iran, which is at the centre of increasing political and diplomatic tension.
The safety of our passengers and crew is always our top priority and if we feel we cannot guarantee that safety, we will not visit any country or region along the route.
We are monitoring the situation in Iran and taking advice from both our local operators and the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, who currently advise against all but essential travel to the parts of Iran on our itinerary. While we will not be taking a final decision just yet, it is looking almost certain that we will NOT be visiting Iran on this year's trips.
Instead, we will spend more time in Turkey, completing a loop which includes a boat trip along the Mediterranean coast in a traditional Turkish gulet before returning to Istanbul. We will then fly to India, where we will also spend a couple of additional days.
We will post any news here and on our Facebook page as soon as we make a decision, as well as keeping all passengers fully informed.
OzBus Africa - As You Like It
BIG cities, big landscapes, big game, bigger adventures - Africa has an intoxicating selection of sights and experiences.
Whatever you want to do or see on your African adventure, OzBus Africa can take you there across southern and eastern Africa. And, with our range of new safaris, YOU can choose the style.
We have added more than 30 new journeys through Africa in three different types - Budget, Accommodated or Luxury.
And throughout January, we have up to 30% off selected departures on our accomodated safaris.
Budget trips are based on larger groups (maximum of 30 on most trips) with most accommodation on campsites. Ranging from one week to the 56-day Great African Trek, the Budget safaris will carry you to the heart of Eastern and Southern Africa's big-game highlights.
And as an added bonus, you can now add a Masai Mara safari to a budget trip for just a €160 local payment.
The Accommodated safaris, ranging from eight to 20 days, are run with slightly smaller groups and use a combination of permanant campsites, lodges and hotels.
Our biggest selection of new safaris is the Luxury option - the best way to see Africa in style.
With small groups and flexible departure dates to suit your needs, this option is ideal for family groups or those in search of that little bit extra. Accommodation is in luxury lodges, campsites and hotels, meaning you can get close to the highlights of Africa in sumptuous surroundings.
Check out the full list of OzBus Africa safaris. We are in the process of uploading full itinerarires for all the trips - e-mail info@oz-bus.com or telephone +44 (0)1480 810080 for further details.
South America - Full Circuit
ALWAYS looking to break new ground and bring you fresh adventures, OzBus Tours will add an extra continent and record-breaking journey in 2012.
For the first time, OzBus will be offering trips in South America - including our longest ever adventure.
The epic Full Circuit trip will complete a loop around this fascinating, vibrant continent from Quito to Quito over 203 days. Travelling through eight countries, passengers will head down the Andes - with a trek to Machu Picchu - to 'the bottom of the world' in Argentina, stopping off in Rio for Carnival before taking boat trip along the Amazon and enjoying Caribbean beaches.
It truly is one not to be missed.

For those looking for something a little bit shorter, we are introducing a range of South American adventures ranging from 15 to 53 days. Full details will be on the website soon, but until then check out the routes on offer.
Heading North - Sydney to London
"DO you run trips in the opposite direction? From Sydney to London?"
IT is a question we hear fairly regularly and, for the first time in a couple of years, the answer is YES. Not only that, but there will be a choice of route for 2012.
As well as the traditional Sydney to London route across Australia and south east Asia, Nepal, India, Iran, Turkey and Europe, we are also offering the 2012 Olympic Special. Following the same route as far as Bangkok, the trip will then head to Beijing and onto Moscow via the Trans-Siberian Railway, before crossing northern Europe.
Both routes are included in the 10% discount offer for bookings made before Christmas.
