Lanier Publishing International, Ltd., the industry -leading provider of Bed & Breakfast and boutique accommodation information, is proud to announce the addition of Safari.net to their travel vertical web site TravelGuideS.com.

Safari.net is the definitive, one-stop web site for researching, planning, and booking the highest quality safaris on the African continent. They are staffed by knowledgeable safari specialists devoted exclusively to the safari experience and passionate about Africa's wildlife and wild places. With Johannesburg-based Safari.net, Africa's most unusual and little known destinations, most authentic bush camps, most romantic safari lodges, most exciting trails for walking safaris, and the absolute best safari operators across the wilds of Africa are no longer hard to find.

"We are delighted to be able to welcome Safari.net the "Best of Africa" vertical to our Travelguides.com family of independent, branded travel sites," said president, Pamela Lanier of Lanier Publishing. "Safari.net is so special because it's an active coalition of the best safari providers in Africa. We are proud to be associated with this landmark pan-African travel site."

"The compatibility of Travelguides.com and Safari.net is outstanding," says Tom Stanley, Producer of Safari.net. "Both companies are only interested in promoting the best accommodation experience possible. And in Africa, the safari experience is dependent on the quality and remoteness of the wildlife area. There are many fine independently run safari lodges that have great difficulty reaching safari-goers a half a world away. Safari.net helps the consumer find these wonderful lodges and camps."
