Kalmann reacted with excitement about the nomination as the “Ambassador” of Africa in Israel: “This nomination is not merely an expression of appreciation but actually obliges us to create a change of the awareness of Africa on the Israeli market. The many new airlines operating direct flights to Africa enable combining a safari with a pampering beach vacation in the Indian Ocean; a trip including fabulous soft-adventure experiences for families and couples in South Africa with one-to-one encounters with gorillas in Rwanda or Uganda; visiting the most amazing waterfalls in Tanzania; exploring the Jewish roots in Ethiopia and joining colourful musical and cultural experiences.
